Silverwood Theme Park Working on Massive Waterpark Expansion for 2024

A massive water park expansion that will cost $15 million and expand the size of the park by 30% is coming to Silverwood Theme Park's Boulder Beach in 2024.  The expansion is named the Emerald Forest, and will allow visitors to enjoy the "wonders of nature, embrace the thrill of the hunt, and the joy of discovery."

The nearly 4 acre expansion will be the largest that has come to Boulder Beach since it first opened in 2003.  The above schematic of the expansion shows the new additions, which are meant to provide something for every part of the family, from kids to thrill seekers.

The expansion will feature new restrooms, additional seating areas and cabanas, a high capacity food outlet named Rapids Grill (which can make 1,200 meals per hour!) and attractions including Salmon Run, seen above.  The children's slide complex features 8 different mini waterslides, ranging in length from 36 to 82 feet long.  These smaller slide areas have been added to many water parks in the the past 5 or so years, and they always appear to be a smash hit.

For thrill seekers, the park is adding the first dual-water roller coaster in the West, seen above and named Eagle Hunt.  Two riders per raft will each cross over 925 feet of slide that include several uphill sections, three of Proslide's Flying Saucer turns and the first ever "Shadow Effect" that Proslide has created - no details on what that is exactly.

It is very encouraging to see a smaller independent park make such a massive expansion like Emerald Forest.  Looking forward to seeing the expansion completed in 2024!
