Our First Visit to Silver Dollar City 

This video was shot back in July.. so it's been a few months. I just haven't had the time to really edit it. There's a few times we mention Fire in the Hole and that the new one hadn't been announced officially yet. But at the time.. it hadn't. Anyway. enjoy the footage from the park. I'll have another video up soon of the full train robbery. As well as a second video featuring what we ate while there. If you enjoyed the video.. make sure to give it a thumbs up. And if you want to see more from us.. make sure to subscribe

I love the present SDC, but I was a kid in the 70s when I experienced 'Fire in the Hole' for the first time as a total surprise. At that time, SDC was not a 'ride park' as it is today. It focused on the theme..so when my dad and I boarded 'Fire in the Hole' in '72, we expected a calm ride...there were no roller coasters at SDC. My dad took me to SDC from KCMO each summer to look at the craftsmen practicing their arts. In the 70s, rides were secondary, the atmosphere and the craftsmen were primary. I still like SDC, but it is a 'ride park' now...not what it was.

It's called Mystic RIVER Falls, as it says on the sign! You might have heard on the news about one of the many big, bad things that happened at SDC right before you came. One of those was an accidental grease fire that sent the entire block up in smoke, which is where that construction site is. It started in the Pork Rind stand, it continued to burn Heartland Home Furnishings (both the store and the furniture making demonstration area), and Flossie's Fried Fancies (restaurant). It also got a bit of the Duplicating Lathe, which is across the road, but Firefighters were able to put it out before anything happened to that. So, the construction is for a new Heartland Home Furnishings, a new restaurant, updating the road to Wildfire, and updating the waterfall dining area behind The Lumberjack Camp. It doesn't sound like the Pork Rind stand will return (which I hated anyway, but some people liked). Also, I feel like this is the pre-construction stage for the American Plunge area, but mainly the roads leading up to that area. It's been bad ever since the downgrade of 2008 and somehow seems to be getting worse. It's one of two rides that me and others feel like they are going to let it live the last few years of it's life with very little maintenance so that when it does go, people will be begging for an upgrade. Technically, Outlaw Run is the first RMC Topper Track coaster, plus they built the entire thing by themselves. RMC normally just retracks old coasters with Topper Track or I-Box track, instead of building or rebuilding the entire coaster.

So glad you enjoyed Mystic! This ride is my baby! Long lines on hot days!! But totally worth it! Pro tip... YOu have a decent enough following to record legally, the right way. Just contact marketing departments before wyou start pulling out recording devices. A decent following can set you up with a SAFE recording scenario in the future.

Technically, Outlaw Run is the first RMC Topper Track coaster and they built the entire thing by themselves. RMC normally just retracks coasters with Topper Track or I-Box track, instead of building or rebuilding a coaster. Outlaw Run was also the steepest drop on a coaster made partially of wood at 87° and it was the first coaster made partially of wood (since it is technically a hybrid) to go upside down. Riverblast is a much better water ride than American Plunge and Riverblast rarely ever has anyone riding it. But of course, Mystic River Falls is the best water ride. You didn't ride the Grand Exposition Coaster. It considered coasters too. Plus, flat rides, Marvel Cave, Grandfathers Mansion, train, and Giant Barn Swing. There is a HUGE difference between a Premier Rides Water Coaster and a Log Ride!!! Daredevil Falls is CLEARLY a Premier Rides Water Coaster, NOT a "log ride"!!! PowderKeg used to be the same as well. The lift hill and the track leading up to it, which you can tell is different than the rest, is the same track that BuzzSaw Falls used, which was the old Premier Rides Water Coaster. Currently, you can see an old BuzzSaw Falls car on top of the roof of the queue, if you look from the exit ramp. It's okay that Blazing Fury and Fire In The Hole are rough, only because they are both slow. That way, you rarely even notice it. Top speed on Fire In The Hole is 25 mph. The rough parts add to the charm and wouldn't be the same without it. It is also the most reliable coaster in the park. It doesn't even close for weather, unless it gets below freezing. The only time it actually closed was 3 years ago when a belt snapped and it was down for about a week. Marvel Cave tells you every detail of the history, which is the same story that Fire In The Hole tells you, but much shorter.
