Not until the seven day a week operation ceases. They have to replace a lot of wiring which would mean the ride would have to be closed for a couple of days. I would say next week they should be starting on the ride effects. It is a real bummer, I hate when things don't work. The swinging saloon door and the stars above the burning cabin all need fixed too. We have our work cut out for us. I did however get the station music playing once again and there are people singing "There will be a hot time in the old town tonight" in the saloon once more. The saloon has been out for a long time. There will also be a little here and there themeing fixer uppers going on soon.

At least they are fixing things.  Some parks would just remove it.

The stars are now fixed along with the gunshots on Main Street, breaking windows and leaking water tower. YAY!

How many trains total does Fire in the hole have? 

I know our Blazing Fury has 4 total with 3 cars per train.

[Copper]

Fire in the Hole has six trains with two cars to each train with a seating capacity of twelve per train. FITH can run five trains at one time.

The room you go in after the first drop always looks like it's full of water. Is this just my imagination? How big is that room and what's in it?

[Copper]

No it is not full of water. It is called the Baldknobber Camp and it is located on the third story of FITH. The location is up above the Burning Cabin, up on the left. It is a rather large room; you are not able to see just how large it is with the curtains lowered and the lights off. If you were to open the curtain behind the Baldknobbers you would be able to see the Burning Cabin and then below that the Waterfall that you pass when you first enter the ride.

shoot, i meant the room after the LAST drop.

[Fury Fire Chief]

I know on the blazing fury after the last drop it is a pretty good size room.  Very high ceilings.  There are also doors to go to mechanical areas too.  And there is alot of water!

But I can't say for sure for FITH.

[Copper]

Same with FITH.

why isn't there a bigger splash at the end?

The splash didn't get anyone wet in my car last Saturday when I was there.

I don't think they want you to come of really wet. Remember, FITH is a year round attraction, and it's not really supposed to be a water ride. I think it has just the perfect splash: enough to slow the train down and provide a little thrill, but not enough to leave you shivering for the rest of the day.

This post from earlier in the thread might help answer your questions about the splash on FITH:

There are a couple different water effects to FITH. The splash is used as a break and that is what they use if it is cool outside. Then there is a water drop from the ceiling that usually gets everyone wet, at least a little. Then there is a spray type gun that mostly gets the left side of the car wet. This is only used when it is HOT outside, but many times they don't turn this one on.

I'm not complaining, water rides are my least favorite. Just wondering why they didn't do it with FITH. Thanks!
