1. Amusement Park Rides From Silver Dollar City By: Catherine Fowler, Grade 5

2. LOST RIVER OF THE OZARK The fast moving waters of the LOST RIVER OF THE OZARK can be found in SILVER DOLLAR CITY. The water is so fast that it makes the raft move up and down and through dangerous tunnels, past a waterfall, and hills. The currents will send you twisting, turning, and dropping. Prepare to get soaked and have fun!

3. WILD FIRE Dr. Horatio Harris was an inventor who was obsessed with making flying machinery that could fly over the Ozark Mountain treetops. In his quest, he made a special-powered fuel to power his invention. The invention was called WILD FIRE. The ride WILD FIRE was named that because of its explosive concoction. WILD FIRE is a 2015 speedy rollercoaster. Silver Dollar City’s Wild Fire is a high-flying, high loopy-looping, cobra-rolling coaster that will make you breathless! It travels at speeds up to 66 miles per hour and drops you 15 stories down. Talk about fast! Wild Fire contains a loop, cobra roll, corkscrew, and a high-speed spiral.

4. AMERICAN PLUNGE Nothing could be better than a high-speed water ride on a hot summer day and falling down a water fall that is 5 stories high, am I right or what? With AMERICAN PLUNGE, when going down a waterfall, you’re going 35 miles per hour making a huge splash and making you get wet along with others around you. This log ride gives you a fun and exciting way to be wet and get refreshed.

5. FIRE IN THE HOLE Look out below, there's Fire-in-the-Hole up ahead. When riding FIRE IN THE HOLE, you will hear my sterious sounds and see the mischievous deeds of the Baldknobbers. The only way out is an old fiery bridge where danger awaits. Keep an eye out for fire on the wall. When you see one, it means a surprise awaits ahead for you. Also look out for Baldknobbers!

6. THUNDERATION Get ready to rumble on the tops of the trees on a runaway mine train called THUNDERATION. THUNDERATION is 81-feet tall (talk about high up), so it has a wonderful view. The train begins it’s travel powered by gravity. That is until cars reach the rollercoaster-only lift. The lift caries the riders 121 feet in the air before gravity pulls them 81 feet at speeds up to 48 miles per hour down a spiraling drop racing through an underground tunnel before returning to their loading stations.

7. GRAND EXPOSITION COASTER A ride for old and young? A rollercoaster that is an electromechanical rail coaster? That’s this one, the GRAND EXPOSITION COASTER! The GRAND EXPOSITION COASTER dips, turns, and flies at 20 feet in the air on the 20 foot track at speeds up to 20 mph (WOW)!
