[@cloudcraft7153]

@@lydiaburlingame5265 it was damaging the carts and other parts of the rides, fire in the hole in silver dollar city still has it.

[@RockyTopInflatables]

Did you know that song is originally based around the story of Silver Dollar City’s fire in the hole. You hear the word Baldknobbers referenced through that song. The BladKnobbers were an antitrust Vigilante group in the ozarks who robbed and at times would destroy property and even kill their victims. That’s what Fire in The hole at Silver Dollar city Branson is based on. Shame the original ride is closing.

@@donnielaws7020 Blazing Fury and Fire In The Hole are sister coasters, since Dollywood used to be Silver Dollar City Tennessee. The coasters are the same ride with different stories. Personally I've always cared more for Fire in the Hole since it was the original. The Baldknobbers burning the town was based on a true story and the splashdown was never removed.

The funny thing I work at Dollywood there are still secret spots in blazing fury yes they got rid of the water on the last drop because it was deteriating some of the scenes the only scene that has water is a mountain like view that but how ever all the original scenes are still there and the water was also causing some electrical issue

I'm sorry i don't understand what Block Sections. The Fury never had any Blocked sections. All of the ride all is open if that is what you mean at Dollywood.

[@chrisschnizer4395]

DONNIE LAWS I’m talking about a section on a roller coaster that has a method of stopping the train at the end of it. Vast majority of coasters are divided into block sections. Their purpose is to prevent trains from colliding with one another. Sorry if I confused you.

Donnie, why did they take the splash down at the end out of the ride? I've been curious since the first time I noticed it was gone.

For 30 years the trains would track water around the ride causing things to rot out and rust the ride steel. It was a constant battle maintaining it. Now they went to magnetic braking system to slow down the trains instead of water. But this affected the effect of the ride.
