Wildfire is a steel roller coaster located at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri.
In July 2000, Silver Dollar City announced that they would be adding the Wildfire roller coaster to their park in April 2001.
Construction was expected to be completed in early January the following year, leaving three months for testing, landscaping, and theming.
The park's existing terrain (situated on the Ozark Mountains) is utilised to allow a 120-foot-tall (37 m) lift hill to be followed by a first drop of 155 feet (47 m).
[1][5] One year after the opening of the roller coaster Silver Dollar City began selling the Wildfire Burger, a hot and spicy hamburger themed after the ride.
[4][5][9] Rick Baker, Silver Dollar City's vice president of corporate development and design, expected the addition of the ride would increase season pass sales by 9% to 250,000.
