Aftershock At Silverwood Theme Park The Aftershock ride and Silverwood Theme Park are nestled in the mountains of north Idaho. Silverwood Theme Park has managed to build a great family adventure with all of the wonderful fun experiences you would get from a world-class theme park. It is nestled in the mountains near the town of Coeur d'Alene, approximately 47 miles from Spokane, Washington on U.S. Route 95. The owner Gary Norton opened this park in 1988. Originally, when the park stared, it included a small assortment of carnival rides, a "main street" with shops and eateries, and an authentic steam train that traveled in a 30-minute loop around the owner's property. From 1973 to 1988, the land, along with a fully functioning airstrip, was operated as the Henley Aerodrome, named after the family whom Norton bought it from in 1981. Over the years, Silverwood has grown in both size and popularity, transforming from a small local amusement park to a regional theme park destination. In 2003, an adjacent water park named Boulder Beach Water Park was opened. Entrance to Boulder Beach is included with admission to Silverwood Theme Park. In 2009, Silverwood began an annual Halloween event called Scarywood, held during the month of October of each year. Boulder Beach Water Park is the most outstanding water park in the West. There are pools and water slides for the entire family. Sit back and relax as you watch the little ones cooling down on a hot summers day. Grab the family and float down the lazy river in ultimate relaxation. Catch a thrill ride through Rumble Falls. You will twist and turn as you make your way down the falls to the river below.
