Anyone else notice how they said Heartland multiple times? I have to assume that it was a conscious choice after the Oklahoma announcement.

"Fire District" is just the next step in the evolution of the park.  You will start to notice that each new area will be branded as a neighborhood.  This started with Midtown.  Then you have River Town.  I'm sure where the new Fried Fancies and Heartland Home Furnishings will get a name once that area is complete.

It would also be interesting if they were to do walk thru tours or something of the old ride before it is removed.

I am hoping this will happen for Coaster Christmas. Perhaps tours of both? Might be a stretch but if they were to do it I'd definitely attend and I bet they would have a pretty good turnout for it.

Are those the opening salvos of competitions we hear?

There were 'special edition' Pathfinder newspapers given out to everyone at the FITH 2.0 announcement event. I haven't seen these posted anywhere else and they contain quite a bit about the overall new narrative story and effects used within the ride.

Other parts of the announcement include Red Flander's Dry Goods (which I presume means FiTH souvenirs) and a new pretzel dog stand along the trail to Pumpkin Plaza (which will eventually link to Grand Exposition).  Did he say 300 seats for dining in the area?  That seems to be a lot for pretzel dogs

I believe they are moving the Fire Spotter Balloon ride to the empty pad near the water and the Pretzel Dog Stand will take its place. There is already a temporary food stand behind the Fire Spotter ride across from the Boat Works Theatre.

Thanks for posting those Underdog!

Us old timers remember when we had to download a bootleg MP3 version. I had it as my ring tone for a while.

Thankfully, the original version is posted, too.  The new performance lives up to the original, but the lyrics leave something to be desired, of course.

This time last week, I would have said that "updating" the song would be blasphemous. This new version just knocks it out of the park. I love it. I never, ever thought I would say that. The PTB really did a bang-up job with this entire "replacement" process. I can't wait to ride the new ride!

Still have to for the amazing covers playing on a near time traveler (or I haven't seen an official release).

I honestly looked for a CD of it in the shops for a while the first time I heard most of the music (hint hint SDC merch team).

They should go ahead and re-do the powderkeg theme song while they are at it, lol. Didn't the ride operators revolt because it was played too much? 

I think Riverblast used to have it's own theme song too. Haven't heard it in a long time. What other theme songs are/were around the park?

^ The American Plunge song (Americans ? together), the Flooded Mine song

The PTB have completly knocked this one out of the park. I cannot wait to see the new technology in the scenes and audio. Don't know what to say except bring on 2024 so I can experience it.
