Silver Dollar City in 2020 will celebrate its 60th anniversary with Mystic River Falls, a $23 million investment that will feature the tallest raft ride drop (82 feet) in the Western Hemisphere. Lasting more than five minutes, the river adventure will be themed to the history of Marvel Cave, the show cave that was the catalyst for Silver Dollar City six decades ago. Mystic River Falls will be the highlight of a new themed area of the park called Rivertown, which also will include Rivertown Smokehouse. Specializing in barbecue, the park’s largest restaurant will provide 450 seats along the banks of the Mystic River. (silverdollarcity.com)
