flooded mine question

[marolinesdad]

I thought all of the targets used to be lit though.  Maybe I have lost my mind.

[History Buff]

^Nope, just the ones in the darker area near the end.

[DocSpeleo]

I did see the lit targets this morning.  I did a walk-thru... wearing waders and slowly checking the ride for any problems....

only one light-up target is out...
yeah! lol

so I do know where the lit up ones are now.

[sdcforever]

^It'd be cool to do some walkthroughs.  I think it'd be worth it to get a job at SDC just to be able to do that at FiTH and the Flooded Mine.

Glad you know where the lit up targets are now!

One time I was in there and the ride stopped, and a worker had to come help us out of the cars on the embankment and we went out through a side exit somewhere. Kind of weird being stuck in one spot for a few minutes.

[DocSpeleo]

well there are two plans for when the pumps are turned off in the Flooded Mine..

one includes the dock convict walking through the channel and pushing the boats back to the dock.... YEAH!

the second one is finding an evac door and pushing the boats to a door where you are exited from the ride..

that's a big part of the training although i was told that evacs happen at a rate of .5 per year.... lol in 4 years its been evacuated 2 times.

[sdcforever]

^If I was a worker, I'd definitely look for the nearest evac door.

[History Buff]

Isn't FM supposed to have a spray at the exit (where you float to the outside) that shuts off when the oar cart triggers the electric eye?  If so, it wasn't working last wknd.  I thought I saw the cavity from which it should spray.

Does AP have a similar effect?

[sdcforever]

^Unless it's changed in the last year or two, FM and AP have the water spray effect.

I would like to see the guns re-worked... They don't work very well at all. would be nice to use technology similar to the of SDSS at SFSL...

[History Buff]

Yes, they could be lighter with better triggers, but I'm sure their rigid construction is less apt to break down.

[shavethewhales]

The guns were working very well when I was there last month. In fact, it's obvious that they're really done a lot of work on the whole ride recently, as we've probably talked about before. I was really surprised by how much stuff worked when you shot at it, it was a lot of fun just to ride through and take it all in.

Does anyone know the lyrics to the Flooded mine theme song? The one they're always singing as you go through.

[Swoosh]

Welcome to the mine hey, welcome to our toil
___ ___ deep beneath the soil
You sweat a little water, you sweat a little blood
and you might get out if the mine don't flood.

[betamike]

I dug up my old "Sounds of Silver Dollar City" vinyl that has this song on it!

It goes:

Welcome to the mine (yeah), welcome to the toil,
Welcome to the trouble 'neath the earth and soil,
You'll sweat a little water, you'll sweat a little blood,
And you might get out if the mine don't flood!
