American Plunge

Very calm ride through a lazy river—until the end. This ride at the amusement park has a long, steep, quick acceleration into a water-filled track. I’ve ridden this ride many times and it’s very fun. Depending where you sit, you may or may not get wet. It is also hard to predict sometimes. I would not bring electronics or other things on the ride that aren’t water resistant. This is definitely more of a water park type of ride.

The drop and view afterwards were nice. But, there is a total of 2-3 minutes where you are in an empty tunnel and it is dark and there is nothing to see.

Expect your friends to not take kindly to being splashed by you if you choose to do so. You will get wet. Very wet. And then, when you remove your shirt to wring it out after the ride is over the park attendants will frown on your glorious display of your packed and golden musculature. So do this quickly and discreetly, paying attention to the whereabouts of park officials who are not stunned and awed by your glory.

Good on a hot day.

I've been going to Silver Dollar City for years. Love the country atmosphere and theme. The food is great and the people are nice. The rides are also great. Love the roller coasters. The American Plunge is one of my childhood memories.
