Fire in the Hole

Fire in the Hole is an indoor steel roller coaster at Silver Dollar City that winds through a five-story building with three track levels and fourteen theatrical scenes. The ride takes you through a town during a fire, with trains featuring built-in speakers that narrate the story of the town's residents.

The story is based on Marmaros, a real mining settlement near Marvel Cave that was destroyed by vigilantes known as Baldknobbers. These actual frontier events are dramatized throughout the ride and woven into local legends of the area.

The ride tells the story of three Baldknobbers named Patches, Bugs, and Wiley, whose misadventures unfold through theatrical scenes set in a mining town. These characters have become part of the park's storytelling tradition and are recognizable to many visitors from the region.

Riders must be at least 48 inches tall to ride alone, while children 36 inches or taller can ride with a supervising adult. Since the ride runs indoors, weather is never a concern during your visit.

One scene features a man named Red Flanders climbing a ladder while his wife scolds him through a window, creating a humorous moment that stands out to riders. This comedic interaction has become memorable for many who experience it.
