Off to Silverwood. We decided we wanted to make the drive to Utah this year via Montana. It's a way pretty drive, and this way we could stop by Idaho Falls on the way to visit Aaron's grandma. So, a great stopping point was Couer d' Alene and a trip to Silverwood theme park.
Quite an interesting experience. We got a hotel that offered discount tickets to the park. Yea, saving money is always good. We pulled in about 1:00p.m. When we checked in we were told if we waited until 3:00 the park offered half price tickets and that would be even cheaper than the discount tickets. Yea, way more money saved!!! So we unpacked the car, ate lunch, changed and headed over there.
Well, the park doesn't offer the discount tickets until 5:00. We didn't want to spend two hours in the stupid parking lot and the park had no options for us, so we ended up paying full price. That really sucked!! Instead of saving money like we thought, we ended up spending $40 more than originally planned. We had fun, but I don't think it was really worth the price we payed. Especially since we were also cheated out of 90 minutes of park time as well. We were not happy campers. AND, when we got back the hotel wouldn't accommodate us either. "Sorry that happened, but there is nothing we can do". Are you kidding me. It's your fault we missed park time, and spent more money that we should have. Whatever. Don't think we'll stay there again. But, even though it was kind of expensive, we still had lots of fun at the park. I don't regret doing it.
