Anyone who has been to Silver Dollar City, located in the heart of Branson, Missouri, the Live Entertainment Capital of the Midwest, knows that this world famous theme park is a ton of fun! Silver Dollar City started out way back in the day as a replica frontier town and show that handed out silver dollars to folks waiting in line to tour Marvel Cave. What once started out as a distraction from a long wait has grown into one of the biggest attractions in Branson, complete with festivals, real craftsmen and thrill rides like Wildfire and Outlaw Run. Silver Dollar City is constantly striving to come up with new and fun ways to bring people to the park – and they have done it again with Fireman’s Landing, an all-new family adventure for 2015!
Fireman’s Landing is a throwback to times gone by (like a lot of Silver Dollar City’s attractions – that’s part of what makes it so fun!). This great, family friendly part of the park is designed to replicate an old fashioned volunteer fireman recruiting fair, where young firemen to be recruits could test their strength and skill to ensure that they could hold up to the tasks that lay ahead! Now you and your family can test your own abilities at Fireman’s Landing with four interactive play areas and six thrilling new rides!
Are ready to test your eyesight to spot forest fires? Take a ride on the Fire Spotter – you will soar high into the air in a balloon to look for orange flames! Think you can hold on to your stomach long enough to ride the wagon to the bucket brigade? Get in line for Fire Wagon Frenzy. Firefall is an 8 story free fall drop from the Fire Tower – can you handle heights well enough to stop the flames?
When you’re ready to help train up the youngest of the recruits, head over to Firefighter’s Fire Drill and practice hosing out fires, our figure out your way down the Fire Escape, or even fly through the air on the Fireman’s Flyer! And if you have a little one who is looking for a drop (but maybe not 8 stories!), send them over to Up the Ladder, where they can build up the skills to climb high. Don’t forget about the firemen’s best friend – the loyal Dalmatian! Lucky’s Dizzy Dogs takes kids on a racing ride around a classic bright red fire hydrant – be on the lookout for Lucky himself throughout Fireman’s Landing! And when you are all done, cool off at the Firehouse Splash Yard with some soaker hoses.
There is no doubt, Fireman’s Landing is a ‘surefire’ way to have loads of great family fun, and learn about fire safety as well! Be prepared to get recruited for fireman style adventures in one of the world’s most famous and most visited theme parks – Silver Dollar City!
