Silver Dollar City will debut 10 family adventures in 2015 when the park opens the Fireman’s Landing area. One of which includes an 80-foot-tall S&S double-shot tower.
Sound the alarm as Silver Dollar City debuts 10 NEW Family Adventures coming Spring 2015! Centered around the headquarters of Station No. 3, Fireman’s Landing is designed with the atmosphere and theming of an old-time volunteer firefighter recruitment fair with activities set up to test the skills of even the youngest would-be recruits.
Fireman’s Landing will encompass nearly two acres and will include six family rides and four interactive play zones.
The rides and attractions of the new area include (the numbers numbered attractions in the graphic above):
1. Fire Spotter: Soaring balloons for spotting fire dangers
2. Fire Wagon Frenzy: A bumpy ride for bucket brigade volunteers
3. FireFall: The 8-story fire tower free-fall drop ride for the more daring recruits
Station No. 3 Firehouse Play Place where guests can meet the station’s newest Dalmatian resident & “sign in” for three training activities
4. Firefighter’s Fire Drill – Featuring buckets, pumpers, foam ball cannons and targets for showering mock fires
5. Firefighter’s Fire Escape – An obstacle course of tubes, mazes, climbing structures and slides
6. Firefighter’s Junior Escape – A soft play area for toddlers
7. Fireman’s Flyer: A low-flying swing ride for little firefighters
8. Up the Ladder: A smaller tower drop ride for junior recruits
9. The Roundaboat: A bouncing ride on Dalmatians racing around a fire hydrant
10. Firehouse Splash Yard: Squirting water jets and pump hoses
The FireFall drop tower is believed to be coming from the former Celebration City park, also in Branson (and owned by Silver Dollar City owner Herschend).
The area’s back story that the park has developed is rather interesting:
The citizens of Silver Dollar City know all too well of the dangers of a fire as during the late 1800s the town then known as Marmaros burned to the ground. Following that devastating event, citizens rallied and quickly decided that they would never fall victim to such a fire again…together they would be prepared. The fire chief is now asking that all volunteers be ready when duty calls at Fireman’s Landing…it only takes one spark to light the fire of family fun!
Fireman’s Landing will replace the Geyser Gulch, which closed earlier this month.
