With great sadness




To all of our previous guests/friends it is with great sadness that we report the passing of a valued Roosevelt Inn staff member, Pippin, our beloved Labrador passed away. She took her position as official greeter and lawn companion very seriously. She enjoyed many an afternoon with so many of you while you enjoyed a good book, lively conversation, or her personal favorite; some quiet time in the sun on the lawn. We will miss her greatly!

Two New Rides at Silverwood for 2013!

Exciting news for theme park enthusiasts!  Silverwood has announced they are adding two new rides to the only amusement park located in the inland Northwest for the 2013 season!  "The first of the two rides will cater to families, and be known as the Barnstormer.  The ride gently rotates two carriages filled with riders in a vertical circle, keeping them upright at all times. The ride was manufactured by Zamperla, and originally opened at another park in the year 2000."







"The second new ride will be the big thriller, a gigantic swinging disk ride, standing 104 feet tall.  The ride seats 24 passengers at a time, and is manufactured by VISA International.  Positioned in outward facing seats, riders will experience up to three and a half Gs while the ride is in operation."


Be sure to check out the latest rides at Silverwood when you stay with us at The Roosevelt Inn in scenic Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, located just 45 minutes from the amusement park.
