A nice look at how Emerald Forest will fit in with the rest of Boulder Beach.

Silverwood is expanding its Boulder Beach water park by about 30% with a new area called Emerald Forest. The headline attraction will be Eagle Hunt - a racing water coaster by ProSlide. Construction underway for a 2024 opening...

Born and raised in America - never heard a single person say that. “Nah” is certainly a thing.

Nobody tell him what continent Egypt is in…

Made it to Dollywood for the first time this summer. I was blown away by how much I loved Firechaser. I won’t complain at all of this ends up being similar - it certainly won’t be the exact same experience. It’s also important to note that next to Lightning Rod, Firechaser is often the longest...

“Came into contact” is quite the word salad there, Mr. Clark. I came into contact with my kids when I hugged them at bedtime last night. It didn’t send them to the hospital.

I’m not so sure that’s true. The top piece of the lift hill is not being suspended in the photo at the exact angle as how it’ll be installed. It looks like it’ll be angled downhill more once it’s in position, and we don’t have the rest of the track installed yet so who’s to say it won’t go back...

Yes, that’s correct. I believe topper track is only on one or two turns, with this new I-box going on other turns.

As a (relatively speaking) local, I can confirm it’s awesome.

I also think the moving station has a “cool factor” with guests. Whether or not it actually increases throughput, it gives the sense that things are moving faster.

So they skipped the chimpanzees this time around?

There were pretty clear indications this would be a coaster. Glad I was right. Being an enthusiast, I have made it down to ride Railblazer, but I’m so excited for the Pacific Northwest to be getting a modern steel coaster like this. The vast majority of people going to Silverwood will have never...

I do think the loop in the sky should confirm this is a coaster. It’s possibly unintentional but they seem savvy enough not to do that.

Hmmm, I’m not aware of any flying felines, but I suppose they could be going with a fantasy theme.

Ooooo, now there’s an idea!

I was purposefully reading too much into it and kidding with the names.

Their latest email said they won’t let the “cat out of the bag” so it’s obvious the coaster will be named Cougar or Mountain Lion or Lynx or Bobcat. Or Whiskers. Could be Whiskers.

The 2021 background is in line with the western theme of the dry side, so I think that eliminates the water park. As the tweet shows, they don’t tease things too often so I’m optimistic it’s a coaster. I’m irrationally hoping for an axis coaster.

I had never ridden an RMC and then I went on Twisted Timbers. You might look at that layout and think the three straight airtime hills are lame based on your thoughts about Zadra. But it’s one of my favorite set of elements on any coaster. You just can’t believe how amazing the airtime is and it...
