The Big Reveal of the new Fire in the Hole at Silver Dollar City, Branson, Missouri

Fire in the Hole's queue starts inside but will head outside where some of the existing fire equipment from the current Fire in the Hole will help add to the theming of the ride.

For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to visit Silver Dollar City or experience the original Fire in the Hole it is an indoor coaster that was built by the park in 1972. They made the track, train, and theming all by themselves. Fire in the Hole took riders through the real town of Marmaros that sat downhill from the current Silver Dollar City. During the ride a gang of bandits named the "Baldknobbers" raids the town and sets it on fire culminating with a bridge collapse while you are crossing it as well as a final plunge into a lake that slows the train before pulling back into the station.

The original Fire in the Hole has made a reputation for itself as a ride that the entire family can enjoy together and has become over the last fifty-one years an integral part of the Silver Dollar City experience. With that in mind the decision to build a new version of the ride was an easy one.

This is the new Fire in the Hole's station. Guests will board from this side and then cross and go over the stairs to exit.

Here is a view of the station from the rides break run.

The new Fire in the Hole isn't going to be built in house as Silver Dollar City contracted with Rocky Mountain Construction to build the ride part of the attraction.

Here is a view of Fire in the Hole's future splashdown finale.
