 We're going to have a lot more from Silverwood over the next few days including POV, Reverse POV and pictures from tomorrow (Saturday's) opening day. Update: 5/30/2021 - A bunch of amazing pictures from opening day are now below for you to feast your eyes on. This is one photogenic ride! Scroll to the bottom to see Media Day pics! Pictures by Matthew Nelson Opening Day Pictures You gotta go under the highway to get to Silverwood. This is when any day at Silverwood REALLY begins.  Espresso and Pastry Bar. Good stuff, and they open earlier than anything else at the park. So if you get here early, to avoid a line at bag check, you can still pick up some caffeine and breakfast.  While waiting at the rope drop inside the park, Engine 7 pulled into the station.  To open Stunt Pilot, there was a flyover by a biplane.  This way to Stunt Pilot          The line wasn't outside of the building for too long- it just keeps moving.  While the ride does have 10 single seats per train, this helps when say, there's a group of 7, they can add 3 from the single rider line to have a full train.   Because of how long the train is, the sensations are quite different from front to back. Look how far down the drop row 1 is, while row 10 is still flat up top.  A stunt plane restored and hung upside down over the queue line. Brilliant bit of theming.   It's really cool to watch- and because of how the line goes right under most of the ride, you get to watch it a lot.   Very smooth, very fun ride. A lot of people got off and said "Let's get back in line" right away.   Entrance and Exit Through The Gift Shop  The opening day line in the afternoon  Panic Plunge. If you sit on this side, you get a great overview of Stunt Pilot for a moment.  It was a beautiful day for a ride opening  From over by the log flume.  Corkscrew Pizza. If you didn't get a picture of the corkscrew, did you even go to Silverwood?  From the side. The first drop is 87 degrees.   The guy in the back row looks like he might be rethinking his decision to ride.     Riders Seem To Really Enjoy This Ride. I did. Rode 4 times opening day, each time seemed better. It was really hauling late afternoon.  Hairtime!   Favorite photo of the day. This shot pretty much shows the gamut of rider reactions.  The Barn  You "Fly" through three air race rings as you ride  Not the shot I REALLY wanted. But you can see Tremors and Stunt Pilot trains in one frame here.  Tremors New Track  Old and New Side by Side. Tremors absolutely flies through the bowl area now.  Aftershock. Well, it didn't have such a good day.  Only shot I got of it in action today. It went down right before we were going to board. Didn't see it open the rest of the day. Oh well, we'll be back.  Another shot of the plane in the queue  Plane and Raven Turn   Another Train of Happy People   Someday I'll get a shot with Tremors and Stunt Pilot passing here.

We got to go to the paint shop to see the Pitts Special plane that will be part of the theming     A whole bunch of Tremors track is missing at the moment   They're doing so much work on tremors     Timber Terror got a bunch of new wood on the helix - hard to get a pic, but you can see shiny new wood  Got to see Corkscrew's first test run of the season  Hi Knott's!!

Today Matt drove out to Silverwood to take a look at Stunt Pilot to see the progress on the newest RMC creation. Enjoy this quick update from the park! We can't wait for opening day! Written by Matthew Nelson Hey there Silverwood!  We set up shop across the interstate where we could get a look at Stunt Pilot.   Mmm, Aftershock Towers.  Oh, you're here to see Stunt Pilot!   It's really hard to convey in pictures how bright white Stunt Pilot track is. But it looks amazing!   How many coasters do you see in this shot?    Now that RMC is done in Tennessee, we should hopefully see more track going up here very soon, and much better views from outside the park.  It's going to look simply fantastic in this area of the park.    The end! Hope you enjoyed this quick update from Silverwood! Related Videos
