FIRE IN THE HOLE UPDATE

The folks at Silver Dollar City Fans Forum (SDCFans.com) are having an an exciting conversation about the Fire in the Hole ride.

First, someone has validated the claim that the Fire in the Hole ride has significantly changed over the years. How come nobody knows the specific changes? The changes were made in 1982. A fairly substantial section of the ride was removed. There's even a picture that shows some tracks going back underneath a curtain. Unfortunately no one knows exactly what was removed because it happened so long ago.


Second, someone has publish a ride walk through that is better than my own. There is a ride breakdown that includes sections of the ride that have been refurbished. Check out the creepy long-haired guy in the saloon.

Please don't just look at these pictures. A fan who goes by the alias Copper has updated these and more. Please go look at his amazing and detailed collection.

Third, there's an old Silver Dollar City Fire in the Hole theme song that has been republished. Here's the first verse.

Baldknobbers comin’, ridin’ fast, armed with rifles, wearin’ masks
Baldknobbers comin’ they’re drawin’ near, everyone’s heart is filled with fear
Run boys run; don’t be slow, Baldknobbers comin’, there’s Fire in the Hole
Run boys run; don’t be slow, Baldknobbers comin’, there’s Fire in the Hole

Fourth, some of the Silver Dollar City fans have read my review and seen my pictures. They have requested that I add information about the historical background concerning the ride. If you care, check out the updates on my old post.
