Timber Terror

Timber Terror is a wooden roller coaster at Silverwood Theme Park in Idaho, featuring a long track with drops, turns, and a helix section that creates sustained thrills. The ride carries passengers through various speed changes and directional shifts from beginning to end.

The coaster opened in 1996 under a different name but was renamed within its first year due to conflicts with other parks using the same name. This change reflects how theme parks managed and adapted their attractions during that period.

The ride follows the classic out-and-back layout that became popular in early American amusement parks. This design shows how park builders of that era combined speed with anticipation.

Visitors must meet a minimum height requirement to ride, which means younger children may not be eligible. The complete journey takes just a few minutes, so repeat rides back-to-back are easy to fit into a day.

During the annual Scarywood Haunted Nights event, the coaster operates with trains moving backward, offering riders a completely different perspective. This seasonal twist makes the ride feel like two different experiences depending on when you visit.
