Silverwood Opening Day 2020

Picture
Happy Monday everybody, welcome to our first park update since, checks calendar, March 6th!! Wow! 

Today we have an opening day update from Matt who went out to Silverwood on Saturday for their opening day. We realize theme park openings aren't really the most important thing going on in the world (or even in the top million) but we hope you can take a break from all the pain going on right now and enjoy some awesome theme park pictures. Take care of yourselves, and everybody else! - Gregg

Welcome to Silverwood Opening Day 2020!

Bag Check
Picture
This is a GOOD sign
Picture
It's good to be back! Every visit to Silverwood starts with a walk under Highway 95.
Picture
Good place for a quick breakfast snack / coffee
Picture
Picture
People waiting in the park for the rope drop at the end of Main Street

Social Distancing Sasquatch
Picture
They're even asking you to social distance before you get the scoop from the Dippin Dots Guy

Clear plastic panels divide the line where it doubles back on itself.
Picture
Scarywood Stuff!
Picture
My favorite part of the park
Picture
Excellent wooden coaster - especially at night
Picture
Spin Cycle has hot pink Sasquatch prints
Picture
So the line is split in two- then merges up near the station. There's SUPPOSED to be a team member at the merge, but we never saw that Saturday.
Picture
See, just like the sign says
Picture
When we first were let in, Aftershock was not quite ready to open- they still had the ropes with "Ride Closed' across the two walkways toward the ride.
Picture
Wiping down the coaster after each cycle.
Picture
Our first ride of the season at Silverwood, this is a really good solid mid level wood coaster- it's fun and thrilling enough for a grizzled veteran coaster rider, but it's also an excellent 'starter' coaster because it doesn't deal in any extremes. This season, it has sadly gotten rid of the buzzbar restraints for individual ratcheting lapbars. Theoretically, this will make the ride more efficient to operate, but there's still some bugs to get worked out- we waited extra long because the train didn't park properly in station- so the air gates couldn't open.
Picture
Picture
They had to cycle the train around again to get it in to the right spot. On top of loading every other row, and wiping the train down between riders, it was a fair delay. It took us about 45 minutes to board.
Picture
This would have been a throw away photo, but the bird made me laugh.
Picture
I tried to ride this later in the day. It broke down, but not before taking 45 minutes of my time (including a fair amount of time slowly rocking back and forth, then stopped but still restrained).
Picture
Picture
More cleaning
Picture
Tremors

Picture
Picture
The park has a lovely picnic pavilion
Picture
Picture
A really good deal and nice shady spot to eat/rest/recharge
Picture
You can eat mac and cheese until you EXPLODE! We hereby give Silverwood permission to use that line in their advertising.
Picture
You can get some nice shots of Aftershock from the back pavilions.
Picture
Picture
New sign for this season.
Picture
Hi Knott's!
Picture
Picture
Some kind of work under Corkscrew
Picture
Roaring Creek Flume Ride
Picture
Some coaster action shots, just because.
Picture

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
If you look closely, you can see that a lady lost her hat as the train went over the drop- you can see the hat in the middle of the track, a few feet from the top.
Picture
SO good, especially on hot days.
Picture
Ice Creamery at the end of the day. Note the people completely ignoring the Sasquatch markers.
Picture
Heading out for the day
Picture
What an excellent skyline.
