Mobile food ordering is coming to the City this season. Sadie's Pretzel Cafe is the only confirmed location so far, but it will be available at multiple locations.

Looks like the mural in the original Fire in the Hole has been saved. More info will be shared next Wednesday.

The SDC website shows Spring Break from March 9th - 24th but it shows the new Fire District (including FITH) opening March 16th.

It says March 16, 2022. That was the opening day for the 2022 season.

The other rides in the District that have ride pages show them opening on the 9th with the rest of the park.

Lots of photos being shared online from a media construction tour of the new Fire in the Hole. Personally, I think it is looking great. It does look a bit cleaner than the old one, but I think that is actually a good thing in the way they have done it.

It looks like they had all of the mannequins/animatronics covered up during the media tour.

If it won’t be demolished before the season opens, I could see an in between where the queue line is removed, all fireman theming is removed, and shutters placed over the broken glass windows on the facade. Maybe some other facade work on the dentist/barber facade to make it not burnt. Make it more of generic building so it’s not so obvious to most people that is the old Fire in the Hole.

We had the honor to be on the final train on the Original Fire in the Hole!

We were lucky enough to be on the first train of the season and on the last of the season!

A huge surprise was the handcrafted gifts that were made in the City! The first was a piece of the original track! Second was a handcrafted mug that has the final ride date.

It was a very special night that our family will never forget!

As for the highway stories, I think that the road changes on 76 have had a huge impact. We were there Monday and Wednesday this week, and Thanksgiving night and never hit traffic. We were really surprised.

Overall, we thought operations were great last night. It wasn't super packed, but very busy. We did enter through the side gate that goes down by the cave and enters the park by the candy shop. Lines looked long for food, but they all seemed to move quickly.

We've been down about 5 times so far for An Old Time Christmas and haven't had a bad experience! I tend to just post on Facebook and Instagram... never thinking to post a report here.

On Monday, SDC will announce how 36 of the final seats on Fire in the Hole will be given out. They are also going to randomly giveaway 12 seats in the park on December 30th.

The announcement will be on Facebook, Instagram, and TicTok.

The total seats being given out equals the last 4 trains on Fire in the Hole.

The traffic and parking lot upgrades seem to be doing a good job. We arrived just before 4 on Thanksgiving and were surprised to not hit traffic until the paid parking booths. It wasn't for lack of people arriving, the lots that you can see from the paid parking booths were already filling up.

There is a new crossing behind the fence behind the little swings. The little swings will move to their new home near the lake and the crossing will be opened up to the area that the swings are currently at.

REJOICE is back!

Now we know for sure what the foundations and outlets were added for.

New foundations in Lake Silver. Could these be for the return of REJOICE? They seem to be too spaced out for anything structural like a wider walkway so I’m am guessing decorative.

When looking at old photos on midwestinfoguide, the foundations are not there. Below is a cropped version of this photo: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sNaUlfFoAtw/XgAFpv5brTI/AAAAAAAA3gI/XJ3rYbiEuVYdLlL3vaJ8FGZcKZV3YK1DgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_7625.JPG
The foundations are not in the photo.

They have now added power outlets on the fence by the pillar foundations. The foundations are under water now, assuming that they are at a level to be above water in the winter. This could also explain why rust was seen on them.
I also attached my original photo to show that the outlets are new.

The new Baldknobbers look so realistic! In the video, the costume is still under construction.

Construction on the new Fireman’s Flyers area continues to move along.

Also, the new Gold & Diamond pass entrance is using self serve scanners for season passes. There are still hosts at the entrance to help and to supervise the entrance.
