 Today we're continuing to look at the newly opened parks for the 2018 at Silverwood park. This great park is always amazing but there's just something about opening days that are special. Enjoy!! Check out more of Matt's amazing pictures at GuruShots Written by Matthew Nelson Once you park, you head down to the tunnel under I95.  Let's Go!!  Food and drinks to fuel the day  Waterpark opening soon A really fun park included with admission.  Just inside the gate To the left- the train depot, to the right, the Carousel.  Information Center Right at the center of things- you can rent strollers, wheelchairs, and ECVs here.  Good to know- you can do your shopping for souvenirs without missing out on ride time.  Great deal for feeding a family here. Phantasm at Theater of Illusion is an excellent magic show, too.   Waiting for opening We're held right at the entrance to the Country Carnival portion of the park.  Words to live by This is a pretty park, with plenty of flowers  Huck's  The ice cream is ENORMOUS and yummy, and they've got well maintained pinball machines and arcade games. I will not detail just how much I spent playing TRON and Whirlwind pinball.  My favorite ride at this park is Tremors. It's got some fun signage along the ride.  This is a fun drop ride. This bird just kept circling.  Tremors - An excellent wooden rollercoaster that uses tunnels and low turns to feel even faster than it really is.  Tremors and Spin Cycle - This is one of the backdrops on my computer - two great rides in one shot  They mean it!  Camp scene - Detail along the pathway  Thunder Canyon - A thoroughly soaking rapids ride.  This classic ride still gets quite a lot of riders.  For the Arrow fans out there.   This is the curve leading to the double inversion    Detail at the Train Depot  A beautiful Porter engine pulls in to the station    Absolutely beautiful engine, cared for nicely.   Main Street Theatre - Showing Three Stooges movies makes me REALLY love this place.  This isn't just a loop around the park- it's an adventure. There are a lot of things to take in while aboard the train, so be sure to listen up.  One of the first things you'll spot from aboard the train.  Be on the lookout! Sasquatch sightings!  I believe he found one  Supplies! Feel free to beat me for that joke, at your next convenience.  Um, you MIGHT want to look behind you.  Sasquatch is just hungry   Then there's the Faerie Woods...   View of Aftershock and Tremors from the train     Excellent drop ride. Feels like it isn't gonna stop at the bottom.  Timber Terror - A good 'starter woodie' that is fun for any kind of coaster rider.  This is a wicked ride! It swings back and forth, while turning around. Then it goes OVER the top- sometimes you wind up upside down, and still turning around the outside of the ring- pretty wild ride.   Great flatride collection - In this shot, you can see the Paratrooper and Bumper Boats.   At the end of the day... Back down to the tunnel back to the parking lot (or Campgrounds/RV Center if you're staying there) We'll be back soon, with more photos of more of the park.  Related Updates:
