So the splash itself doesn't really get anyone very wet?

[Coaster]

^Depends on the day and the car you sit in, in my opinion. I've rode it on days where I wondered if there was no water in the room and I've rode it on other days when I came off soaked.

[saladdays]

Yeah, me too.  I wonder why that is?

[History Buff]

Is it possible to raise of lower the water level based on the outside temp?

[Swoosh]

It is possible to turn off the water jets that spray up during the summer.

[Copper]

Swoosh is right. This time of year the water canons and sprinkler overheads are turned off. Yes, the lake is lowered to get the cars "less wet." The lake can't be empty because it is part of the breaking system.

Thanks for your help guys!  I knew there was something to it!

What exactly does the audio in the queque line say?  I know they are talking about brave firefighters and they play the "Fire in the hole" theme song. 

Also, Cooper.. Have you ever ridden the Blazing fury?

[Copper]

Sad to say, but the script for what is said on the exterior of the ride no longer exists. I plan on recording it and deciphering it one day. I do know the guys conversations are about what is going on within the ride. It goes something like this...

They talk about Catfish Carson who is the guy trying to put out the fire that has engulfed his cabin. He also is the owner of a TNT shack.

They talk about a lady who plays the organ at the funeral parlor and that they had to bust in and get her out.

A prisoner in the jail who ended up saving the warden.

Red Flanders escaping from the hotel.

One of the hottest fires they have ever known was in Mutton Hollow back in the eighteen eighties and they argue over dates.

The quartet inside the blazing saloon still belting out songs. They sing It’s a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight.


A guy at SDC had to listen to the theme song over and over again to decipher what is said during that. No one on park, that we can find even Jack Herschend remembers who recorded the song.

Yes, about four years ago I rode the Blazing Furry, loved the ride. Hope to get back to Dollywood soon.

[History Buff]

I guess I'll have to listen more carefully on the next trip.

[Fury Fire Chief]

I know they have a conversation audio outside of Blazing fury but the sound is SO bad it is almost impossible to understand it.  I do know the part that says:

come here Daughter, Come here son. Baldknobbers comin everybody run.

Grab your fiddle forget your bow.  No time now for playin cotton eyed joe.

AND IT REALLY SAYS BALDKNOBBERS OUTSIDE OF BLAZING FURY!! lol

[Copper]

I posted the song lirics here.

Funny that the Blazing Furry says Baldknobbers. Does the Fury's theme have anything to do with vigilantes burning the town down?

[Fury Fire Chief]

This hurts me to say this... lol

But the story line is kind of messed up.

There is actually no real story line.  There is not real reason for the fire to start.

People just make up the story while they go. (if you know what i mean)

Thanks Copper!  Some of this I've picked up on over the years, some I haven't.  I'll have to listen more closely the next time I ride FitH.

[Copper]

Ok, I have been asking around about what use to fill the missing sections of the ride and have found a few things out. I got to look through FITH's blueprints that were dated 1971. The name at that time for FITH was the Devil's Den. Funny; I never knew that that was going to be the name of the ride. That is Marvel Cave's original cave.

Old Guy and Baldknobber were right after the first dip you would turn right past a mini volcano and then your train traveled through a cave with Baldknobbers hiding out in it. After leaving the cave your train would turn right, you were then looking over the edge of a cliff above the burning cabin the tracks ahead looked like they were broken and that you were going to fall, just then the train would take a sharp right and then turn left into the train tunnel.

Also in front of the burning bridge the waterfall too was suppose to be a volcano. Look close at it and you could see that if they changed the green lights to red it would look like one. I don't know what volcanoes have to do with a Ozark's town, but they were on the blueprints.
