i know this is super old but i got to looking through some of the links on this post and thought that swoosh would enjoy this (if he hasnt allready seen it)

 "Yes there is a section of the ride that has been removed, it happened in 82’. “Well that is incorrect. Once again proof that you cannot believe anything that is on wikipedia. The train has always turned left right after the burning bridge scene to go past the hold-up scene of the wagon into the railway tunnel. The three drops are boom-boom-boom.” This was posted by a guy who goes by Swoosh in many different forums. The guy is an idiot and always makes claims and ends up being wrong. He also likes to tell people he has inside connections to everything. The guy needs help"

Just wondering if you ever "got help" swoosh :-) jk

I was doing a little research on the Baldknobbers and happened to run across this article from the NY times from Dec 11, 1886. You may have to read it a line at a time, I thought it was really cool

Well besides wanting to bring this thread back to the surface (because its a good one).
What are Red Flanders final words????  I've always wondered & I'm sure its been answered before somewhere on here.
Btw has anyone noticed that the first Baldknobber shooting the window, his rifle is falling apart!
If I worked that ride I would at least change it out with another replica rifle. For goodness sake its not that hard, are employees/citizens not allowed to inspect the scenery or tell Maintenance ?

I never have heard all of that, but we always seem to be in the front.  BTW, the phrase is "sam hill" (not hell), which is roughly a euphemism for "Satan's Hell".

Are the photos posted of the behind-the-scenes FitH still available somewhere, as well as a lot of the other photos posted before the site redesign? All of the links to the in the forums are now dead.

Do they still play the fireman's conversation outside FITH?  Seems like I can't hear it anymore...maybe it's just turned down or I'm not paying attention?  ???
Also, is there still a place to download the theme song?  would like to have it for the road trip down this year  ;D
Small wonder our lives have so little of God in them, when we come in touch with so little that God has made.
