ACE SPRING FLING AT SILVERWOOD ANNOUNCED
The Northwest region of American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE) is hosting Spring Fling at Silverwood Theme Park on Saturday, May 15, 2004.
Silverwood Theme Park has been serving up thrills for nearly 20 years. In fact, you may have even seen some of the wide-eyed, outta breath, hair-all-messed up people who just got their fill of Tremors, the biggest, fastest roller coaster in the Northwest.
Thrills at Silverwood come in all shapes and sizes. For huge appetites, three big-time roller coasters, including two world renowned wooden coasters, are sure to satisfy. Tremors, the granddaddy of them all, is a 60-mile per hour twister that drops you 103 screaming feet into a pitch black tunnel of terror. Speaking of terror, Timber Terror is an outstanding out-and-back that’s sure to have you hanging onto your seat! And the aptly named Corkscrew will turn your world upside
down.
This day of fun will include exclusive ride time (ERT) on Tremors and Timber Terror, as well as a picnic lunch.
