Wildfire reviews

Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Wildfire, a roller coaster at Silver Dollar City. (The minimum height to ride is 52 inches.)

Built by Bolliger & Mabillard, Wildfire is the tallest and fastest ride at SDC. This sit-down coaster features a highly themed station, four-across seating, a 150-foot first drop, speeds in excess of 65 mph, and several inversions including an Immelmann loop, a large standard loop, a cobra roll, and a corkscrew. However, the most striking aspect of the coaster is how it sits on the outskirts of the park on a hill, making all the highs seem higher, and the drops seem steeper.

A perfectly fine B&M, but its setting really is what makes this ride special. - Tim Chatlos

I don't know why but I really don't like Wildfire. Every time I get on it I feel like I'm going to get sick. Intensity: 9/10 - Will Gibson

Another excellent B&M creation, and one of the best rides in the park (second only to Powderkeg, IMHO). I wish my local park, Worlds of Fun, had a sit-down looper like Wildfire. - James Rao
