Celebrate Corkscrew's 50th Birthday with unforgettable stories from Tami Martinez and Nicholas Laschkewitsch!

It's not often a roller coaster makes it through a cross country move and 50 years of thrills, but here at Silverwood Theme Park, we've got the exception. In honor of Corkscrew's 50th Birthday, we wanted to celebrate this iconic coaster's history, the stories and memories behind its legacy, and why we hope it will keep entertaining you for years to come.

On this week's episode we skip right to the good stuff and sift through some memories with not one, but two, special guests. 

First, we talk with Tami Martinez, who we have fondly dubbed Corkscrew's Bestie. Tami has been there since day one - both at Knott's Berry Farm and Silverwood - as Corkscrew took it's first inversion in each location. 

Then, we do a video call with Nicholas Laschkewitsch, Producer of the documentary, The Legacy of Arrow Development, and proud historian of American Coaster Enthusiasts. Nicholas's knowledge of our Corkscrew's humble beginnings and ground breaking footprint on the roller coaster industry will leave you in awe.

This episode is about more than just a roller coaster. Corkscrew is the epitome of "Where Remember When Begins..."
