Silverwood Theme Park and Boulder Beach water park are located in the Idaho mountains about fifty miles northeast of Spokane, Washington. The park was created in 1988 when owner Gary Norton bought a small airport and set up an antique aircraft museum. A few years later, he bought a 1915 steam locomotive at an auction and placed three miles of track around the 700-acre property. When the park opened, the train was the only ride there. Silverwood has been expanding ever since and currently has nearly two dozen rides.
