Timber Terror is a wooden roller coaster at Silverwood Theme Park in Athol, Idaho. Built by Custom Coasters International, it opened in 1996. It was first to be called Grizzly, but the name was changed to avoid a conflict with the Grizzly coasters at two Paramount parks.
The ride has an out-and-back layout built for airtime. A chain lift climbs 85 feet, and the train runs through a series of hills out and back before a 360-degree turn into the station. The park gives a top speed of 55 mph and 2,700 feet of track; RCDB lists a ride time of about 1 minute 32 seconds. Since 2010 the train has run backward during the park's Scarywood Haunted Nights in October.
Between 2022 and 2025 much of the original track was replaced with steel-topped 208 RetraK track. Riders must be 48 inches tall, or 42 inches with an adult.
