Many, many years ago, SDC, went there quite often. “Fire in the Hole,” was may favorite ride. Loved the part in the ride where the lady says, “Pa, where’s your pants?” Pa responds, “I don’t have ‘em, the Baldknobbers stole ‘em!”
I believe it was “Red Flanders you get back here and put on your pants” then Red Flanders says “But Sadie I ain’t got no pants the darn Baldknobbers stole them” then Sadie says “Stole them? Why in saint hill would they do that” (but the last line might not be as accurate)
@kingsismeatball6070 that's it! It has been many years since I have been to SDC. You nailed it, verbatim. Thanks for the memory.
@@KingsIsMeatballSam hill, but yeah! They put out a ton of merch with those quotes on them. Such an iconic ride

This place scared the hell out of me as a kid, but I've since come to appreciate the old timey campiness of this park. I'm glad you checked out Marvel Cave. I've taken a lantern tour of it before and it is definitely not for the faint of heart. Missouri is the Cave State and this place lives up to its name. Thanks for taking us along.
I'm glad they redid it the way they did. I had been riding the old one for about 50 years, it was getting a bit creaky. We were there last summer to ride the old version one more time.
Mom and I were there in the 80s and saw the Shepherd Of The Hills outdoor play that had Baldeknobbers in it. Also went down the cave there. Very interesting. And were there for a mountain folk celebration. Thanks for bringing back memories❤
Wife and I went to the play for the first time ever last summer despite living within an hour of it, I’d be willing to bet several of the actors from your experience are still there. Three generations of several families work there, and will no doubt have kids who will also work there some day. Really a beautiful thing to have that kind of legacy to a piece of art.
My brother-in-law is from Missouri and is a descendant of the Baldknobbers! I’m glad they kept that piece of history in the ride.
I have an ancestor who lived near Diamond MO who was killed by a Bushwhacker way back when. :)
Thanks for taken us with you Jacob your the best
My old stomping grounds! I was heart broken about the old fire in the hole last year💔!! Glad to see the new one very glad 😂! The new ride softens my old heart to know it has been changed very little! Good memories ahead for the next 50 or more generations to come ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cave was beautiful and amazing thank you Jacob.
This was such a fun video, I'm so happy that you rode the new Fire in the hole!!! I can't wait to get out there and experience it too!!!! Thank you for another fun, fun, video!!!
Thanks for going out of your way to ride Fire in the Hole. I took my 9 year old on the old one last summer knowing it was closing but not knowing yet they were building the new one. He’s really excited to ride it and will love your video.
LOL at the Baldknobbers snow globes. 😅. I loved the ringmaster and the animal kids!
All right! Fire in the hole! Love your videos of the ride then and now. You're really building up your collection of pressed pennies!
Thanks for taking us to Silver Dollar City! I'd like to see more of the park sometime when you go back.
We visited SDC/Branson in 2019 and my son was 15 at the time. He and the hubby did the cave tour first thing when we arrived at the park and it was the highlight of his trip. He talked about it for days. Thanks for this video. Your travel content is detailed and informative and even if I’ve visited someplace, I still learn something new. Safe travels!
Love silver dollar city it is such fun and the new fire in the hole is fantastic. FIRE IN THE HOLE 🔥🔥🔥🧑🚒
I went to Silver Dollar City in 2020. Due to COVID, they weren’t running the cave tours. When I lived in Louisville, KY, I did several of the Mammoth Cave tours, including the Wild Cave tour. 6 hours, walking crawling in hands & knees, and even belly crawls. That was the most intense cave tour I have done. Mammoth Cave has tons of walking tours. Mammoth Cave is the largest cave system in the world.
Silver Dollar City refurbished a ride better than Disney ever could! ❤
What an awesome day! I'm glad they brought back Fire in the Hole. Looks like you had a great time today and thanks for bringing us along!!❤❤❤
Welcome to my beautiful state of Missouri ❤❤❤🎉
Mine too!! Love my Missouri home!! Born and raised here!!
SDC is my happy place
Same
Fire in the Hole was a favorite growing up 40+ years ago. Glad to see it is still going strong!
THANK YOU SO MUCH JACOB ❤ the cave tour was amazing 👏 would love to visit someday.✌️❤️🙂
I am not physically able to do those stairs on Marvel Cave so you did it for me! Thanks Jacob!
Best cave tour is at Fantastic Caverns in Springfield, Missouri. It's a ride through, so no stairs or slippery paths.
Now I want to check out Silver Dollar City
Last time I went, the free parking began in the lot behind the paid lot. There are trolly stops all along the free lots so it isn't a bad walk.
Been in the cave a few times never disappoints so amazing hope to get back and experience the new fire in the hole 😊
Been a season pass holder at SDC the last couple years thanks to some awesome friends.
My favorite theme park.
Got a sneak peak ride on the new Fire in the Hole opening day... they kept it very loyal to the original and it is a fantastic ride the whole family can enjoy.
Hope you had fun!
Oh my goodness, the way my knees are SCREAMING watching that cave tour!!! 😱😱😱
Good Morning " YA ALL " Jacob..!!
I’ll run into you out there one of these days! I was just there 3 weeks ago and I highly recommend the lantern tour now that you’ve done the normal cave tour!
What a cool place loved it all definatly a fun time . Thank you Jacob for taking us there. I felt like I was there so lucky how you travel around and do fun things. I’m so glad there’s somebody like you out there to show us a bigger world.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If you would like some Baldknobber history I would love to share. My family has been highly involved with Shepard Of the hills play for years and my grandpa worked for Silver Dollar City long ago printing souvenir newspapers.
Back in the show-me state! 😂🎉
FIRE IN THE HOLE 🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🗣
Great video Jacob looks like a fun place to visit. Take care my friend and safe travels as always.
Enjoyed Silver Dollar City with you. Thanks for the fun in watching on the Fire In The Hole and the mammoth Cave. They really have a great place to visit. 💥GO CARPETBAGGER 💥
Free parking is a shorter walk because you can ride the tram! SDC is my happy place. I’m local and there almost weekly!! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you for taking us on this cave tour I would never be able to do it by myself with my knees .
The penny presses are cool, never saw them until I started watching your videos.
I give you credit for doing the cave !!! Biggest fear for me now as an older adult . I did Mammoth Cave as a teenager w my parents and was frightened. Especially when they turned off the lights .
But i watched a video about the wrong man who got stuck in Putty Cave and knowing he had passed , they had no choice but to leave him.. I cant think of a more horrific ending and really am terrified of any cave now. Sorry to be debbie downer for those that enjoy cave exploring ..I am never..going in one again . .
Thanks for sharing your joy of FIRE IN THE HOLE 🕳 new ride and makes me want to go to Silver Dollar city which got its start at the now Dollywood park. Such fun back then.
Love em, but your left chop is longer than your right 😂
I went to Silver Dollar City in 1979 or 80. I hadn't thought about that ride for a LONG time! It was amazing to me that it was still going and had been rebuilt!
Thanks you Jacob you go places that I can't go 😊
The free parking is right behind where you parked. If you get there early you can park pretty close.
Glad they didnt completely get rid of FITH , was alot of memories on the old ride, glad they kept it and revamp it. Im about 4 hours away so its a nice weekend get away if you want it to be.. the Aquarium and hollywood car museum is nice..
I went to Marvel Cave when I was 6 or 7. I am 64 now. I remember it like it was yesterday.
I would be terrified to be that far underground. It is beautiful though. Silver Dollar City looks like a nice place to go. Thanks for taking us along with you.
I absolutely LOVE your content!!! Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!
Hi Jacob I am with you.. there are so many ride's that have gone..It would be amazing If the very popular one;s where remade.. XXX
You need to come back to Texas and check out natural bridge caverns
That is a great park.😊I always say if there is a long line, come back later and there will be no line.😊
I've been to Branson many times. I've been through Marvel Cave 4 times. Last time I was at Silver Dollar City, was in the mid 70's. I did ride Fire in the Hole. Last time I was at Branson, was in 2010. I havent been back since then. But, I can't wait to go back.
I just wanted you to know that you are awesome! 🦅thank you for everything you do!
Bagger time! been subbed to you for 10 years now brother
That was fun, thank you Jacob
the mutton chops are STRONG in this one. Keep it up Jacob!!
I would love to go on the cave tour but those 100+ stairs are prohibitive because of a less than stable left knee. 😢
That cave was awesome and the waterfall was amazing, especially with the lights 🎆
"Good things come to he who waits" daid by my Mom for years n Carpetbagger today!! "The waiting is the hardest part"! Dang Tom Petty!!! " Waiting with Faith achieves Victory!" Said the Priest in the movie "Sundown"!!!
Correction sang Tom Petty computer kept changing it not dang Tom Petty!!!
Many years ago, the ride at Fire in the Hole, got switched my accident to a maintenance track that took the ride cars through a low cut opening, just tall enough for the cars to go through. Well, it didn’t fare well for the riders in the front car when it entered that passageway.
Bet someone definitely got fired
I grew up in the Branson area Fire in the hole was one of my favorites! Im glad its still there!
I'm so glad my wife and I were able to do the cave before her health started to go south. There's no way she could do it now.
I used to do wild caving, it is amazing! I enjoy all caves.
You are so close to Eureka Springs Arkansas. You have to go!!!!
Interesting connection with Dollywood. Way back in the 70s, Dollywood was called Silver Dollar City.
Actually, they still own 90 percent of the park, and Dolly owns like 10 percent.
Oh, right on. Thanks. We went to the original SDC when I was a little kid before Dolly got involved and had no idea there were other parks. If I recall, that SDC was starting to look a bit run down, and it was a big deal Dolly having her own namesake theme park.
Too bad you can't stay near the area until Sunday to catch AEW Dynasty in St. Louis! I can't wait to go to the new Fire in the Hole. Also, there's a soda museum in St. Charles (the western suburb of St. Louis) that you might want to check out if you head through that way back home! Loved the video!
Not sure how this appeared on my TH-cam algorithm lol but I'm glad it did. I have been going to SDC since I was 5 (now 54), however haven't been for several years for personal reasons. Anyway, thank you for this video!!! My most favorite ride was fire in the hole, and have rode it hundreds of times❤
This is so cool. I saw the old shut-down video, and was sad to miss this attraction. The new one looks great, and seems to share the spirit of the old - VERY cool.
Great video! Love SDC, that place is amazing. It is more than a theme park. I am glad to hear that the new Fire in the Hole is awesome! I loved that ride, and I am hoping one of those days we can make it out there. My bf lives in Springfield, so I go see her and go to sdc. Yes, that cave tour is so pretty glad you did it finally. You should eat at Lamberts the food is soo good and consider this place a "cheat day" because their rolls are hot, fluffy and good come right off the pan and thrown right at ya! There is a fish hatchery you can tour, you could go take a look at Lake Tanycoma it's so clear. Keep up the great work!!!
There’s a TH-camr who used to work on the train there, sometimes as a conductor and sometimes as a train robber, he worked for Disney too as a photographer. His channel is called Sir Willow.
Liked the mine ride n the train ride better than the new Fire In The Hole, but its hard to tell when they dont let you see it!!! The Marvel Cave Tour was AWESOME!!! I can't believe they charge $100 to get in there!!!! You can add $79 more n go to Disney World!!! Times have ludicrously changed!! You get it for half off with your pass was awesome n that was worth ut!!
Gotta spread a new urban legend “did you hear? someone got bit by a rattlesnake and died on fire in the hole”
This is a Cool Park. ENJOY The Show Me State
✋: Hour-long cave tour
👉: Two-hour-long line for a three minute ride
I've actually been thinking about doing a road trip from up here in Canada to down there in Missouri and I may have to add Silver Dollar City to it if I go. It looks charming!
Some friends and I go constantly throughout the year. It quickly became my favorite theme park.
Some great rides (my favorite is Outlaw Run) and the Marvel Caves are beautiful (but is kinda scary descending the tower down into it).
Thank you Jacob for another great video.
Morning Jacob 🤓📸✌️ i always like the adventure you take us to, i watch them lol they are great content, take care my friend. Safe travel.
Thank you for this video. Silver Doller city is a huge part of my life growing up going to the ozarks with my folks year after year When I heard they were closing Fire in the Hole I was devastated as well, and to see they basically rebuilt and updated it is awesome. I'll probably never get to see it. But it was great to see you do a vid on it and show that little bit of footage they gave ya so many memories. Thanx again
Wonderful video! Thanks Jacob for your commentary during the POV ride.
I went on the original Fire in the Hole at least a dozen times between April 1995 and June 1997 when I lived near Branson, MO. Loved that ride. The drop at the end with a little splash of water made it all worthwhile. I'm pretty sure they didn't have merch for specific rides back then either, otherwise I would've had something from Fire in the Hole or Thunderation.
I happen to have a great video idea for while you're here in town! But I don't really want to leave it in the comments (I'll email you)! So glad you got to do Fire in the Hole & the Cave!!! Didn't the front row make the ride even more amazing, since the car's so low?!? It's like there's nothing between you & the track!!!
fire in the hole as a kid. i was on one of the last ones they did when it was closed down and my cart broke and it shut down the ride for that day. loved the burning building you go through back in the day
Glad they not overdone it with screens and such but I do find it hilarious they don't let you film yet they give you footage of what you'd have recorded anyway 😂 oh well. Keep up the great work jacob making the world smaller for us in the rest of the world.
Oh my that cave is amazing. Thank you for taking us along.
I love how you always have a good time! New ride looks great!!!!
Thank You so much for taking the cave tour 🤩 it was marvelous and amazing 🌟🌟💖 I don't think I am capable of all those steps but I am glad that You are 💪🤩 I also love the train ride 🚂 it's one of my favorite things to do in amusement parks... second to the carousel 🎠💗 As always, Thank You for bringing Us along with You Jacob 🙏💝😻
Hi Jacob.🙋🏽 The weather is beautiful for traveling. I hope you are having fun.‼️👋🏽
I really enjoyed your review of the revised Fire in the Hole ride and even more your walk through of Marvel Cave. We made numerous trips to Disney World with our kids years ago but viisitng much closer Silver Dollar City was also a favorite. We also liked Dollywood and I enjoyed its running steam train locomotive I guess still there. . You got me to read up on who were the Baldnobbers as I see it was all part of the violent past resulting from neighbor versus neighbor fighting in Missouri being a border state during the Civil War. Your video brought back great memories.
I am guessing the reason they did it was it was more cost effective to rebuild it completely then to continue to try and maintain the aging old version. Could of also needed to update the safey of it as well. i am glad everything was mostly the same and you enjoyed it.
Never been to Branson, but we've really enjoyed the Dollywood version of this attraction. Hope this upgrade happens there.
I really appreciate all that you do especially driving five hours to be able to do this and share it with us. I know that’s a lot of work. What I do for work is a lot of work too, but it’s great to work for oneself. There’s a lot of freedom. You’re definitely an inspiration for me to keep going every day thank you.
Loved This Video! Used To Go Here Many many Times Years Ago!
This was a great video. It brought back fun times I’ve had at SDC.
free parking isn't super far away and there's a free tram that takes you directly to the park. we've never used paid parking because it's kind of a waste of money when there's a free tram.
So glad you did the cave. It's amazing. Missouri has tons of caves. You should do the Bonne Terre Mine Cave near St. Louis. As a kid, I actually preferred the Flooded Mine to Fire in the Hole.
my mom and aunt took me there when i was a kid and i remember the drinks in shapes of oranges, grapes etc,
Do they still have the jail where you can stand next to a "convict" and take a picture?
That penny machine takes all the fun out of doing it yourself
Well Jacob I am very pleased to see that they’ve basically kept it the same and kept the same spirit. Hats off to the creative team that worked on it I can imagine it’s not easy to do what they did and to keep it so close to the original. Kudos to them!
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. 👍😀
Oh my gosh, this was so much fun. Thanks for taking us along. The cave tour was the best part, but the Baldknobber's dark ride was amazing.
I love the original fire in the hole. The new one doesn’t cut it for me. It wasn’t dark enough and the old one moved faster.
