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.)
Written by James Rao 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.
Readers' rating:
I wish B&M would make more loopers these days. The seats are very comfortable, and everything about them is great. They're perfect for parks like this, ones that have under 5 coasters. - Bradley Keith 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 More attraction and restaurant ratings: |
