Silverwood Expanding Family Area in 2014

This spring, Silverwood will nearly double the size of its family area, adding three new family rides, with a fourth attraction planned for 2015. In total, the park is investing more than $1.2 million in the expansion.

Silverwood describes the new ride experiences coming in 2014, one of which includes a family spinning coaster as follows:

“Fly on a kite glider as you lay side-by-side with your child; take a giant puppy on a magical ride as it barks on your command; and ride the amazing spinning family coaster to the gleeful giggles of all young and old.”

See pictures of the new rides below:

The three new-for-2014 rides will open in time for the first day of summer, while the park reports that space for a “fly-away hot-air balloon” ride will be prepared for a 2015 opening. The park’s popular kiddie ferris wheel will also be re-themed and relocated to the expanded family area.

The new area will be located north of Garfield’s Summer Camp and east of the Butterflyer and Frog Hopper.

“Fences will be removed and relocated, new pathways will be designed along with seating areas, trees and gardens,” reads a press release.

The park also sent us a picture of the site, which appears to be ready for construction crews:

The area’s design elements are being finalized. Construction is expected to begin in February.

Kudos to Silverwood for keeping families in mind when planning their new attraction offerings.
