- The Heartland’s Largest Indoor Family Coaster, FIRE IN THE HOLE Opens this Saturday. One-of-a-kind coaster combines family thrills with historic storytelling!
BRANSON, Mo. (3-27-24) - The largest family roller coaster in the Heartland, Fire In The Hole, is
set to open this Saturday, March 30 at the internationally-awarded Silver Dollar City theme park.
Today, media from across the country “answered the call” to experience their first rides on the new
family coaster as part of a media preview at the 1880s theme park in the heart of the Ozarks.
At over 32,000 square feet, Fire In The Hole represents the 1880s theme park’s single-
largest attraction investment to date - a nearly 3-minute long ride, retelling an account of the
night the real town Silver Dollar City now sits on was burnt to the ground.
Integral to the ride’s story, “volunteers” are asked to board their very own “pumper” - an 1880s steam-powered, firefighting wagon - and save the burning town from the notorious vigilantes, The Baldknobbers.
14 iconic show scenes are paired with 3 gravity-driven drops, while the journey ends with a
surprise, quick water-splash finale. The final product is a result of years of collaboration with
Idaho’s Rocky Mountain Construction and Herschend Creative Studios.
True to the theme park’s 1880s roots, the new coaster recounts the story of a real night in
Ozark Mountain history when the mining town of Marmaros - the once-real town Silver Dollar
City now resides on and inspiration for the park’s theme - was burned to the ground by the
Baldknobbers.
This new coaster follows in the legendary footsteps of the original Fire In The Hole, a 51-year-old coaster that held final rides on Dec. 30, 2023, after hosting over 25 million riders since 1972. Now, housed in a 5-story, temperature-controlled building, the new family coaster will
always be open regardless of the day’s weather and temperature.
“Fire In The Hole is a testament to the hard work and ingenuity of the men and women who
work here at Silver Dollar City,” said Brad Thomas, President of the Silver Dollar City Company.
“Work on this massive addition started back in 2021, with planning much before that. They have
poured tens of thousands of hours into this project, and their craftsmanship can be seen in every
nook of this ride, from the queue line and coaster building, all the way to the hand-painted
backdrops and lush foliage.”
Effectively doubling the size of one The City’s most popular areas, Fire In The Hole is the
new centerpiece in the newly incorporated Fire District. Additionally located in The Fire District is
Sadie’s Pretzel Cafe, an all-new restaurant serving handmade pretzels, pretzel dogs and pretzel
sandwiches. Plus, just across the street, the new Flanders Dry Goods offers a line of “Flanders-
branded” merchandise, connecting the store location back to Fire In The Hole’s rich lore.
“This new Fire In The Hole continues our mission of creating memories worth repeating, as
we look to always improve the experience for our guests and towards the future of our park,” said
Thomas. “This coaster, just like the original, ensures the whole family makes lasting memories for
the foreseeable future, and the only place you can ride something like this is Silver Dollar City.
Today, heralded as the “first” ceremonial coaster train, firefighters from Stone County and
neighboring Taney County made up the ride’s first batch of “volunteers” in honor of their heroic
actions in 2021 that saved The City from a fire of its own. Thanks to those actions, no serious
injuries were sustained and the fire was contained to just three buildings.
Fire In The Hole marks the beginning of an action-packed summer this year at Silver Dollar
City, with the park’s Summer Celebration kicking off June 8, with extended nighttime hours starting
July 13 with Summer Nights, all the way through August 4. And, there’s plenty of fun between now
and then, too, as this spring The City celebrates the final year of Street Fest from April 11-29. Then,
Bluegrass & BBQ from May 2-27, awarded “Top Bluegrass Event” by the International Bluegrass
Music Association (IBMA).
Founded in 1978, American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE) is a nonprofit organization of more than 7000 members from 16 countries.

Now that's how you update a classic attraction! The combination of the classic scenery work and the modern projection/lighting effects along with the new ride audio is just the greatest proof that this was a labor of love from start to finish
Yep,
WERE MAKIN OUT LOBOTOMY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
When i first heard the ride was closing i was in tears, this was my favorite ride. Seeing it back and better than ever is a large weight off my shoulders.
High quality dark ride. Disney level. Only thing missing is a catchy song that takes residence in your brain that you can’t remove.
It does have a theme but it just plays in the queue but not on ride
The theme for this thing is sometimes featured in ads for the park. It's sort of like a banjo picking bluegrass tune.
I really hope they do this at Dollywood with Blazing Fury that would be super cool too.
I wouldn't Jinx it if I was you.
O don’t think they should change blazing fury. Keep one original
Wow, that looks amazing. It's great to see scenic story-driven coasters like this haven't died out. The attention to detail with everything is awesome. Would love to ride it.
Wow! That looks so fun
amazing !
Excited to try it out!
Thank you for the offer ride shots!
Our pleasure - thanks for watching!

That Looks Like a fun Ride.
Yay!!!! Can't wait to ride it when I go for my Bachelorette party! Haha

I hope they do this with the one in Dollywood
location of able bodied volunteers board with Coaster Xmas attendees name?!
Those are some great offride shots! How did you get those? Is there some special media reservation you need for that?
All video was provided by Silver Dollar City
@@ridewithace gotcha. I didn't know they shot/shoot offside footage
I hope Dwood updates. . I hope that don't take it out... I miss the Flooded Mine to this day lol.
Good but I wish I had some animatronics like timber Mountain log ride
It seems to be loosely based on the Calico Mine Ride at Knott’s Berry Farm. The original will always be the best.
It seems like a way longer ride too
Dose it go upside down 😊
🟢🙂
FIRE IN THE HOLE
Over-dramatization? PWG
Just one drop small drop? Seriously such a shame what a letdown the track is for such great theming?
3 drops
3 drops and it’s a remake of a classic ride at the park that shut down last year so no it is not a letdown
Recreation of the LA riots?
Can’t imagine anything worse than a fire in the hole! Who thought of this?
It was originally built in the 70s and was remade this year after the original shut down last year
Looks Boring af
I’m guessing you didn’t grow up with the original if you think this is boring
Boring
What a snooze 😴
dude that sucks, what a lame ride
🤡
