Tremors is a Custom Coasters International, Inc. wooden roller coaster at Silverwood Theme Park in Athol, Idaho, USA. The ride is semi-related to the film of the same name.[citation needed]
History
Tremors opened on May 15, 1999.[1]
In 2010, the ride was the first to receive "topper track," a new track system designed by Rocky Mountain Construction of Hayden, Idaho.[citation needed] The new system, similar to the companies new Iron Horse I-Box track system is designed to cut down on track maintenance, as well as daily wear and tear.
In February 2025, it was announced that Millennium Flyer trains from Great Coasters International and 208 ReTraK from Rocky Mountain Construction would be added to the ride.[2]
