Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Nestled in Athol, Idaho, Silverwood Theme Park is the Pacific Northwest's largest amusement park—and its coaster lineup, while modest in number, delivers variety: two classic woodies, a steel thriller, and a unique water coaster.
Type: Wooden | Height: 110 ft (34 m) | Max Speed: 55 mph (89 km/h)
Aftershock is Silverwood's signature coaster—a custom-built wooden terrain coaster that hugs the park's natural topography. It features a 91-foot first drop, high-speed banked turns, and plenty of the lateral "airtime" and rattling charm that wood coaster enthusiasts crave. The layout weaves through trees and over pathways, delivering a visceral, old-school experience with modern smoothness.
Type: Wooden | Height: 90 ft (27 m) | Max Speed: 50 mph (80 km/h)
Timber Terror packs a punch in a smaller footprint. Built by Custom Coasters International, it delivers a fast, twisty layout with strong ejector airtime on its bunny hills. It's the kind of coaster that feels faster than its stats suggest—relentless, rhythmic, and rerideable.
Type: Steel (RMC Raptor Track) | Opened: 2021
Silverwood's newest coaster is a single-rail "Raptor" model from Rocky Mountain Construction—a category-defining design. Riders sit single-file, straddling the rail, with legs dangling. The layout packs a beyond-vertical drop, multiple inversions (barrel roll, corkscrew, dive loop), and rapid-fire transitions in a compact 2,000-foot course. It's intense, smooth, and unlike anything else in the region.
Type: Water Coaster (Mack Rides) | Location: Boulder Beach Water Park (included with admission)
Technically a water park attraction, Boulder Beach blurs the line. Riders board boat-like vehicles that ascend a conveyor lift, then navigate a flume with four distinct drops—including a final plunge into a splash zone. It's a family-friendly thrill ride that cools you off, and it counts toward the park's coaster tally for enthusiasts keeping score.
Silverwood also operates Corkscrew (a vintage Arrow Dynamics looper), Tremors (a wooden coaster with an underground tunnel), and several flat rides. But these four—Aftershock, Timber Terror, Stunt Pilot, and Boulder Beach—form the core coaster experience at the Northwest's premier park.
