NEW Fire In The Hole: Ride Through - Silver Dollar City Branson

[@HMFan2010]

Considering what this ride had become, those are some serious upgrades. The old approaching steam locomotive gag was well done, as are the fire effects. Whoever did the refurb: congratulations on a job well done.

[@rollz_ytp]

Actually, it’s not a refurb. It was rebuilt from the ground up in Fireman’s Landing, now called the Fire District.

[@basketcase74960]

That's more like the fire in the hole I remember from when I was a kid. You can actually tell what is going on without knowing the story before riding it. I love that they brought back the burning bridge in its glory!

[@steveoh9849]

I was expecting more in the animatronic department but the shadow effects in the windows are cool! Seems nice and smooth

[@LavenderKitsunes]

FIRE IN THE HOLE! I’m a huge SDC nerd, and I’ve been following the progress of this ride ever since I noticed them building something behind Fireman’s Landing (I rode Firefall on every visit I took in order to take a peek back there and see what they were up to!). I’m so happy with how it turned out, and I feel that it does the old version plenty of justice! The audio system in the cars was a fantastic addition, the music playing throughout the whole ride makes it feel like a slapstick cartoon and I absolutely love it. It really adds a fun energy to the ride! I also like how they added more modern effects while also preserving that charming cheesiness that the old ride had. SDC did wonderfully in terms of preserving the nostalgia of the old ride, while also ensuring that it lasts for future generations to enjoy! Also, I have the honor of being cemented in this ride’s history, as my name is in it (watch out for the “volunteer recruits” sign, look behind you and to the right as you go through the office-like room immediately after you leave the station)! Makes the ride all the more special to me.

I really love the bridge part! So glad they added the collapsing roof to it! ❤

[@MoonlitLycan]

As someone who has ridden its smaller twin at Dollywood (Blazing Fury) frequently I was honestly surprised when I rode the original Fire in the Hole last year that the roof didn't collapse on it as well. Granted this new special effect looks WAY better too.

[@Piperjane3hs]

I got to ride it yesterday! It was great! The only thing was that it was not quite as scary just bc it was a lot smoother, but it was still really cool and spooky! There were better and worse things about it but I loved the fact that it didn’t change much, just a bit more senior/kid friendly lol

[@derkyderk1900]

Didn’t like that you could see the service stairs at the last drop. The best part of the original is not knowing when and how deep the drops were.

[@JamesGlancy-es8go]

There is apparently a new rumor about silver dollar city building the new flooded mine in a section of the old "pumpkin plaza" where it connects to the grand exposition area. I think it would make sense because flooded mine has A LOT of wear and tear especially because of the water and the big factor of the shotguns and targets malfunctioning half of the time. I don't know if it's true but most likely it will happen in a few years or so but sounds exciting!

[@derkyderk1900]

Just took the girlfriend there about a year ago and was really sad that over half the targets didn’t do the things like I remembered from when I was a kid. Parents told me they didn’t use to have targets on it back in the day, just the prisoners which I thought was interesting.

[@tsstudios7943]

No the old one ain't going nowhere they just upgraded the guns and targets and even upgraded the effects. "Sometimes the targets don't work because u don't hit them"

[@derkyderk1900]

@@tsstudios7943 the gun would make the ricochet noise when you hit the target though. Just didn’t have the affect. When did they upgrade the guns and targets? Side note, would love to have targets there at the end where you pass the boat just sitting out there in the water.

Knowing this is a cloned layout of Blazing Fury, I can see and quote all of the scenes from Blazing Fury from memory watching this. I can also see where there are aditional scenes and effects that Blazing Fury doesnt have. I would be delighted to see Herschend fully replicate this at Dollywood.

[@Brentman56]

Rumor is that they will eventually rebuild Blazing Fury at Dollywood.

[@JovinGhoul23]

Fire in the hole came first (1972)

[@basketcase74960]

The reason is, because Blazing Fury was closer to the way the original Fire in the Hole was. Fire in the Hole was before Blazing Fury

[@Joshua-ch2ij]

@@Brentman56no they won’t. Blazing fury has been heavily maintained over the years and doesn’t have a need for it like fire in the hole

[@Wilhelm1407Coasters]

@@zacharyjohnson777 I don't think they will rerecord it because it's suppose to be the new fire martial character who's yelling it.

[@andymorin9163]

[@CJ-oq6xs]

The visuals look great, but there is WAY too much cheesy dialogue. It feels like a high school theater workshop or something, lol. They need to cut about two-thirds of that and leave some quiet spaces. That's what made the original creepy. Remember that one point where it was just like, crickets chirping or something similar? We don't need to hear from every single person in the village... And I wish they'd kept the original audio for the "Red, get back in here and put on your pants!" It's such a nostalgia thing, it's just not the same without the original recording.

[@Joshua-ch2ij]

I don’t think the ride was ever intended to be creepy that’s just how people interpreted it.

[@Joshua-ch2ij]

As for the cheesy dialogue it doesn’t bother me too much because it just puts it on par with Blazing Fury at Dollywood.

[@CJ-oq6xs]

​@@Joshua-ch2ij Aren't all "dark rides" supposed to be at least a little creepy, though? Otherwise why have them in the dark at all? I think it was intentional, since the Baldknobbers themselves are kind of inherently scary with those masks on, especially to little kids. And with an out of control fire, the brief section that was pitch black (I hope they kept that feature, couldn't tell from the vid) and the fake-out scares like the train, I always found it pleasantly spooky as both a kid and an adult.

[@garybest706]

I was so surprised to be able to see the ceiling and walls of the warehouse red iron building they built this inside of. This really takes away from the ride in my opinion. They need to cover that up, darken it out, do something to make that not so visible. And that partition curtain like wall on the left of the track up there is kind of lacking too. Just seems odd they would do this on otherwise a pretty cool remake of the original ride .

[@Joshua-ch2ij]

Okay if you want to complain about sdc trying to preserve there parks history instead of just becoming a thrill park just go to six flags or worlds of fun. Silver Dollar City’s a historical park and has continued to build up on preserving that history and the fact that they kept the ride instead of replacing it with something else truly shows that they are sticking with that.

[@Wilhelm1407Coasters]

It's good rmc I broadening their portfolio. Now maybe other parks will hire them to build other dark rides as well. A themed wild moose would be pretty cool. Or even a full on thrill coaster that's themed.

[@Joshua-ch2ij]

Also the reason they didn’t just replace the tracks is because the entire ride was falling apart. The technology was incredibly old and a lot of the audio wasn’t working. So it was much better to do a remake that would also allow them to expand the park for years to come.

[@Wilhelm1407Coasters]

Also fire in the hole was the very first fully enclosed roller coaster ever made. They did it before Disney started doing it. It's a historical ride that they wanted to save, but could only do so by rebuilding it due to the structural issues of the old building.
