Happy Birthday, Fire in the Hole!
The only thing I can recall of changes made over the years was that when you're coming up to the burning bridge, they used to have a contraption that made it look as though the ceiling of the bridge was collapsing, just as you are pulled into the drop.... That isn't there anymore.
You know, interestingly enough, I THINK there was a reference to FitH in an episode of Emperor's New School.... I was watching an episode late the other night, and the characters go to some theme park that's based around a historical ancient Mayan ruins... At one point, one of the characters says they want to ride "Fireants in the Hole".
Now, that show has a tendency to do parodies of real-life things and other stuff (one episode title was "Prisoner of Kuzcoban", about a man wrongly imprisoned... ring any bells?), and I don't think there's any other well-known rides out there with the name "Fire in the Hole", so I really had to wonder if perhaps they were taking off of SDC's ride for that name.
