Silverwood Celebrates 25th Year

If you're not sure how many years Silverwood Theme Park has been around, here are a few clues. It's charging $19.88 per ticket this opening weekend. The first 88 folks through the door receive a free souvenir T-shirt. A 25-minute laser light show is set for July 20 and 21. This little tidbit might help, but probably not: Visitor number 10 million will walk through the gates and receive a few surprises. OK. Give up? This is Silverwood's silver anniversary. And its 25th season, said spokeswoman Nancy DiGiammarco, is going to be a doozy. "All indications are this is going to be a good season," she said Thursday/Bill Buley, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: How often do you go to Silverwood in a given year?
