I stumbled across this video of FITH behind the scenes and wondered of any of you had seen it yet.  It's kinda herky-jerky at times but you get the flavor of some of the maintenance area.  There are links to a lot of other SDC rides there as well.

I hope I don't offend anyone here who may have been involved in the making of the video, but... wow. That was terrible!

The behind-the-scenes crew were incredibly patient. Kudos to them for putting up with fan events like this.

This is not as much a question as something I had to share. My son who is 3 has gone on fire in the hole each time we are at the park which probably puts it at 4-5 times. Well yesterday we were on the way home from preschool and out of no where started to recite the Red Flanders dialogue. I have to admit as a father and person who has been going to the city since I was little was a very proud.

That was a pretty awesome father-son moment!

It's times like those when you know everything is going be okay. Fire in the Hole has been creating memories for so many generations.

KB-
Every night after bath I tell the kids to put their pants on and at least one of them if not both tells me that "they aint got no pants", then I ask why and "the baldknobbers got em".

I love it. 

It make me realize that every tank of gas we burn is creating memories of our family being together and having fun. Memories that I hope they will keep for a long time.

your'e all right!!  the city makes memories. I agree with all of you when your littles ones do cute things like that..

You know if you tried to "teach" them that..  no way that would work!

But for them to pick it up on there own.........

Priceless................

OK, am I just missing something?  When a cannon is lit, some soldier shouts, "Fire in the Hole!" to warn the others of the impending explosion.  Is that last drop supposed to be an explosion?  If so or if not, where did the ride get its name?  Or is it a firefighting term, as well?

I was thinking, maybe when they yell "Fire in the Hole!!", you are ducking, so going down the hill really fast is like you are dropping to the ground to avoid getting hurt by the explosion.

That sounds like a good explanation. I never thought of it like that.
