Well, I knew someone would leak it out.  Here's the first published video of the new Fire In The Hole ride, that I've seen.


What makes me mad is the park literally said “or just wait until we post an official one” and the idiots still go and do it to get “clout” (in their minds).  This is the very reason why the coaster community is seen as toxic

I would think they'd open FITH the same day the festival starts.  If not they will have to face the "Facebook wrath" of highly disappointed visitors.  Unless they make it clear that the ride won't, or at least probably won't, be open the first week of the Spring Break festival.

They have never once said it’ll be open on Opening Day, only that it will be open Spring 2024

I’d look for a March 30th Opening if I was a betting man

Will be interesting to see the impact of the Vinita park in the long term though... but I guess they will cross that bridge when they come to it seeing as the Vinita park still has a lot to prove.

There’s zero concern about the “Vinita park” within the ranks.  There’s little to zero chance that park ever gets built and especially not at the budget that they’re quoting.

“Fire District” is just the next step in the evolution of the park.  You will start to notice that each new area will be branded as a neighborhood.  This started with Midtown.  Then you have River Town.  I’m sure where the new Fried Fancies and Heartland Home Furnishings will get a name once that area is complete.

With the switch from “Volunteers Wanted” to “Heroes Wanted”, it just stresses the firefighter theme and all but throws out the Bald Knobbers.  After all the emphasis on the history in the closing announcements, I was holding out a modicum of hope, but not any more.

While the ride at Dollywood still holds a little off the same nostalgia, it’s not Fire in the Hole.  This will have the name and some similarities, but…

No need to worry.  Both the baldknobbers and Red Flanders will be part of the new ride.
See some of you in the morning at the Town Hall Meeting

I think this puts to rest that it will keep the same name as fire in the hole and use a new name.

They literally filed trademark for Fire in the Hole in February.  No, they’re going to keep the same name.

We were at the park yesterday and today and noticed many of the pressed penny machines were missing. Does anyone have any intel on why they are gone?

In the process of being replaced by ones that only take card.  Since the park is now cashless that makes sense.  Expect them to cost more though

I’ve been told it opened this afternoon to guests

(we have new shade structures going in over the queue area)

In Miss Mary's day, we called those "trees". ;)

No offense, but Miss Mary has been gone for decades
It’s time to retire that statement. It’s old, tired, and irrelevant.
