Fodor's Expert Review Silver Dollar City

One of Branson's biggest draws for families, Silver Dollar City boasts 30 rides and attractions, ranging the mild Happy Frogs kiddie ride to some pretty intense roller coasters. Those looking to maximize the fear factor won't want to miss the chance to take a ride on the WildFire, a loopy coaster that reaches speeds of up to 66 mph. Other popular rides include the American Plunge, a five-story splash ride, and the recently added Outlaw Run, the world's steepest wooden roller coaster. Off-season visitors should note that most of the rides close when temperatures drop below 35°F.
