Shane's Amusement Attic

Nice update Shane, as a child I was fascinated by Elitch Gardens. I had an old VHS roller coaster tape that showed a little bit of footage of the Twister (not a full POV like the rest of the rides on the tape) and it looked the most terrifying wooden coaster ever built to my 8 year old eyes. The original Mister Twister is always in my top 5 wish I could have ridden that before it was demolished coasters.

Oh and your water parks looks great, if i ever make it out to Utah I'd love to spend some time there.

Cowabunga Bay looks great! When I next get back to Utah, I'll make sure to include a stop there, too.

i grew up going to Elitch's every summer. LOVE ME SOME MR. TWISTER, one of the best vintage woodies ever, especially in the rain

I never rode the original Mr Twister, but it is a shame to think about how great the original must of been, and how lame the reconstruction is. When rebuilding the ride, the park should have stuck more with the original plans, like Knoebels did. That is why Knoebels' Twister is awesome, while Elich's is only a shadow of what it could have been.

Since Silverwood is celebrating 25 years, let's take a look back at this unique park, the park with the original Arrow Corkscrew.

I love Silverwood! Fantastic park that has some great wood! I especially liked the early on media, so old school, but so awesome. And thanks for making me feel old... I graduated in 1996....

Shane - Is there a year listed in small print for the first two brochures you posted? I see the last two are from '94 and '96.

thanks

Sorry Larry, there is nothing on them that indicates the date. Judging from the artistic style I would guess sometime in the later 40’s.
