To everybody's surprise our beloved Dolly showed up for her first event after the passing of her husband. I think we all would have understood if she decided to skip this years event. But Dolly being Dolly is never a surprise.  We'll start off with some Country Fair refresh shots … it really does look great. The goal, per park management, is to approach the detail seen in Wildwood Grove. No easy task, but definitely a great target      Wasn't it cold in Tennessee last weekend?  Some Big Bear Mountain and the site for “Ned’s shed” … or, Take Flight in 2026    Big Bear Mountain is a crowd pleaser for sure.  Let's take a look at some pics from around the park.

OZARK MOUNTAINS, Mo. (10/17/2024) — Silver Dollar City, America’s #1 Theme Park, today announced plans to invest half a billion dollars over the next decade on the construction of new family adventures, including the development of 1,200 acres adjacent to the Ozark Mountain theme park. The strategic plan represents the largest investment in the company’s 65-year history and begins with the debut of the Silver Dollar City Resort, the first theme park resort in America’s Heartland  “This is more than just growth—it’s a new era.” said Silver Dollar City Parks & Resorts President, Brad Thomas. “Over the next decade, we will mindfully transform 1,200 acres into an authentic, only-in-the-Ozarks destination starting with our first resort. The new resort will combine Silver Dollar City’s spirit of playfulness, discovery, craftsmanship and exploration with all that makes The Heart of the Ozarks so special.” Already under construction and set to open late 2026, the 262-room resort will feature never-before-seen vistas of the Ozark Mountains and Table Rock Lake, along with unparalleled access to Silver Dollar City theme park. The new resort will also be located just a stone’s throw from the company’s other family attractions, including White Water water park, Showboat dinner cruises, Pink Jeep Adventure Tours and the Silver Dollar City Campground.  “This investment showcases Silver Dollar City’s commitment to tourism and economic growth in the Ozarks and for the State of Missouri.” said Missouri Governor Mike Parson. “We are excited to see this project bring thousands of new jobs and millions of new visitors to our great state.” Additional resort details will be provided in the coming months regarding guest amenities, park privileges, room types, and group meeting spaces.

It's that time of year where we start to get some updates from our seasonal parks and as always we're excited to bring you an update from one of our favorites, Silverwood Park in Idaho. Lots of new stuff to show you this season including a new addition to the waterpark. Let's jump right in!  We'll start off there with a look at Eagle Hunt!  Eagle Hunt is located in Boulder Beach!  Very cool set up! As you're waiting to get into Boulder Beach you can scan to rent a locker!  Eagle Hunt is the first dueling water coaster in the west and the LONGEST dueling water coaster in the United States.  Hopefully at some point the park will post a POV of Eagle Hunt, would love to see it in action!  A look at the Boulder Beach wave pool.   Let's check out the dry side of the park!        Silverwood has one of the best railroads of any park.  This is the way!   Yes, there are Buffalo on the train route.    Hi Marvin!  Hmmm ...  This new sign has been added within the last week.  A new haunt is coming to Scarywood. Can't wait to hear what it is!  Some new merchandise from the park. We're big fans of park/ride specific merch around here.  We'll wrap this up with some random coaster pics. Because why not.  
 Hope you enjoyed the update! We'll probably have more from Silverwood at some point this summer. Related Videos
