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!!

​Once you park, you head down to the tunnel under I95.
Picture
​Let's Go!!
Picture
​Food and drinks to fuel the day
Picture
​Waterpark opening soon 
A really fun park included with admission.
Picture
​Just inside the gate 
To the left- the train depot, to the right, the Carousel.
Picture
​Information Center 
Right at the center of things- you can rent strollers, wheelchairs, and ECVs here.
Picture
​Good to know- you can do your shopping for souvenirs without missing out on ride time.
Picture
​Great deal for feeding a family here.

Phantasm at Theater of Illusion is an excellent magic show, too.
Picture
Picture
​Waiting for opening 
We're held right at the entrance to the Country Carnival portion of the park.
Picture
​Words to live by 
This is a pretty park, with plenty of flowers
Picture
​Huck's
Picture
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.
Picture
My favorite ride at this park is Tremors. It's got some fun signage along the ride.
Picture
​This is a fun drop ride. This bird just kept circling.
Picture
Tremors - An excellent wooden rollercoaster that uses tunnels and low turns to feel even faster than it really is.
Picture
Tremors and Spin Cycle - This is one of the backdrops on my computer - two great rides in one shot
Picture
​They mean it!
Picture
Camp scene - Detail along the pathway
Picture
Thunder Canyon - A thoroughly soaking rapids ride.
Picture
​This classic ride still gets quite a lot of riders.
Picture
For the Arrow fans out there.
Picture
Picture
This is the curve leading to the double inversion

​Detail at the Train Depot
Picture
A beautiful Porter engine pulls in to the station
Picture
Picture
Picture
Absolutely beautiful engine, cared for nicely.
Picture
Picture
Main Street Theatre - Showing Three Stooges movies makes me REALLY love this place.
Picture
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.
Picture
One of the first things you'll spot from aboard the train.
Picture
Be on the lookout! Sasquatch sightings!
Picture
I believe he found one
Picture
Supplies! Feel free to beat me for that joke, at your next convenience.
Picture
​Um, you MIGHT want to look behind you.
Picture
Sasquatch is just hungry
Picture
Picture
Then there's the Faerie Woods...
Picture
Picture
View of Aftershock and Tremors from the train
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Excellent drop ride. Feels like it isn't gonna stop at the bottom.
Picture
Timber Terror - A good 'starter woodie' that is fun for any kind of coaster rider.
Picture
​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.
Picture
Picture
Great flatride collection - In this shot, you can see the Paratrooper and Bumper Boats.
Picture
Picture
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.
