bkroz Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 New at Silver Dollar City for 2015: FIREMAN'S LANDING (Including 10 New Family Attractions) A new family-friendly land featuring 10 new rides and attractions. 1. FireSpotter – Soaring balloons for spotting fire dangers 2. Fire Wagon Frenzy - A bumpy ride for the bucket brigade volunteers 3. FireFall - The 8-story fire tower free-fall drop ride for more daring recruits Station No. 3 Firehouse Play Place, in which guests can meet the station's newest Dalmation residents and "sign in" for three training activities: 4. Firefighter's Fire Drill - Featuring buckets, pumpers, foam ball cannons, and targets for showing mock fires 5. Firefighter's Fire Escape - An obstacle course of tubes, mazes, climbing structures and slides. 6. Firefighter's Junior Escape - A soft play area for toddlers 7. Fireman's Flyer - A low-flying swing ride for little firefighters. 8. Up the Ladder - A smaller drop ride for junior recruits 9. The Roundabout - A bouncing ride on Dalmatians racing around a fire hydrant 10. Firehouse Splash Yard - Squirting water jets and pump hoses. The citizens of Silver Dollar City know all too well of the dangers of a fire as during the late 1800s the town then known as Marmaros burned to the ground. Following that devastating event, citizens rallied and quickly decided that they would never fall victim to such a fire again…together they would be prepared. The fire chief is now asking that all volunteers be ready when duty calls at Fireman’s Landing…it only takes one spark to light the fire of family fun! What an outstanding development in the family craze... A nice evolution from Cedar Point's Gemini Midway. Wouldn't we kill for an area like this? Just so well done. No surprise though, is it?

CoastersRZ Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Looks like a well balanced set of attractions for both thrill seekers and the youngest kids. Definitely a top notch addition to Silver Dollar City. Herschend certainly does a good job with their additions. I still have yet to make it out to Silver Dollar City, but will hopefully get out there one of these years. It likely won`t be next year. Most of my vacation days are already spoken for next year with getting married and the honeymoon. (Going to be making my first west coast visit and checking out Disneyland as part of the honeymoon! ). 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Impressive. It's great to see them putting so much emphasis on families of all ages, rather than the typical "put in a new family coaster" type thinking that so many parks are doing these days. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Wow, I was expecting something along the lines of Dollywood's Firechaser Express. This looks incredible. Bravo Herschend and SDC. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekidd33 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Nice to see one of Celebration City's rides find a new home. Poor Ozark Wildcat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
