The story of Wildfire
Silver Dollar City announced Wildfire in 2000 as a new multi-looping coaster for the Ozarks. The plan placed the ride into the hillside and woods, opening a fresh corner of the park to visitors bound for a grander view. ultimaterollercoaster.com
For the machinery, the park turned to Bolliger & Mabillard of Switzerland. Their Sitting Coaster would bring measured steel, broad trains, and a high-capacity layout suited to the Missouri hills. bolliger-mabillard.com· bolliger-mabillard.com
Wildfire opened on April 4, 2001, a $14 million addition and, at the time, one of Silver Dollar City’s proudest undertakings. Its five inversions gave the old mountain park a modern steel flourish without losing the Ozark setting around it. en.wikipedia.org· coasterpedia.net
Today the ride remains in operation on Hugo’s Hill Street. Silver Dollar City still presents it as the work of an Ozark inventor’s flying machine, sending visitors out over the treetops at speeds up to 106 km/h. silverdollarcity.com· en.wikipedia.org
