Fun Forest/Silverwood TR
My photos are here. http://www.lagoonisfun.com/gallery/index.php?cat=10049

It late June I went on a trip to Seattle for a couple days and then drove over to Montana with Silverwood on the way! I'll start off with Fun Forest.

Fun Forest was the midway for the world's fair in 1962 and is right at the base of the Space Needle. Fun Forest is likely to close in 2009 so I am glad that I got these rare credits when I did!

Windstorm is the same as Hurricane at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk so I thought it would be nothing new. Boy was I wrong. This thing was HAULING. Every single part was crazy! It was painful and evil but boy was it fun!
6/10

Rainbow Chaser is the only kiddie coaster I have been on with airtime! WTF?
3/10

Silverwood:
I was only there from 4:00 to 7:00 on Friday and the parking lot was nearly full. Good thing everyone was at the waterpark! Minimal lines for every ride. Aftershock was still closed. Yet another Vekoma credit missed. I've gotten 2/4! The waterpark looked nice and the park was clean but some of the pathways were narrow and got crowded and there were no drinking fountains ANYWHERE which was horrible!

I went straight to Corckscrew to get it out of the way. I told my sister the history of the ride and while going through the second corckscrew she said, "HISTORY IS PAINFUL!" I think that pretty much sums up the ride.
4/10

Panic Plunge is my favorite drop ride. The ride up is extremely slow and suspensful and panels blocked the top of the tower so you couldn't tell how high up you were. It doesn't stop at the top and instead switches right to dropping. The drop was very intense and the view of the park at the top was amazing.
9/10

Tremors is awesome and a way fun ride. The best part is the first drop right underground and through the gift shop. Floater and ejector air on nearly every hill. However Timber Terror was way better.

I can not say enough good things about Timber Terror ride! It is the craziest, most airtime filled two minutes of my life! Ejector airtime over every single hill and long ejector airtime over most of the hills. It was a bit rough but who cares? I was out of my seat most of the time and couldn't feel it! WOOO!
15780/10!

Happy Sid?

Aah! I totally forgot about Sky Diver!

Sky Diver at Silverwood was the craziest ride EVER! It is like a cross between a Roll-O-Plane and a Rock-O-Plane but bigger! The car is faced toward the car in front of you like on Rock-O-Plane but the pivots are in front and in back of you instead of the side. You can control your spinning with a steering wheel in front of you. My sister and I just went CRAZY on it. We barrel rolled the entire ride. At the bottom if you are inverted then supports are only inches above you. When you go down you are standing up so loading was scary for a while! When it stopped going forwards we said, "I'M ALIVE!!!" And then it went backwards...

9/10 Super fun but made me sick!
