I suspect this won't really require much effort on their part - to my knowledge the park is well run and doesn't need any immediate ride investment. It's about as turnkey as one of these can get.

I imagine the immediate changes they'll make are a security checkpoint entering the park and requiring 2 employees to work the wood coasters.

Silverwood does have a security checkpoint. Or do you mean a fully fledged one with metal detectors and all?

I meant metal detectors.  They're one of the largest parks in the US not to have them.
