| At Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri, this year, they are debuting the new version of the classic, Fire in the Hole. The whole ride has been rebuilt in a new way, while retaining the charm and unique theme of the original. The new ride doesn't have the homemade feel that the old one did, but all of the scenes have been kept and remade, in many cases using new technology such as fiber optics and projection screens. The track is much smoother, and the three drops in the ride are milder than the original. There's a lot to see in the new $30 million attraction, and hopefully it will attract many visitors beyond its premier year. |
Still, there are other things to see in the City, and we were happy to get in on the making of some pecan brittle in the candy shop. They made 95 percent of the candy in the store here (most of it downstairs in a non-public area), and we're always happy to take in craft demonstrations of all kinds whenever we spot them. In the past, we've enjoyed watching the blacksmith, the glass blowers, the knife maker, the lye soap maker, the log cabin builder, and more. This year, we've also discovered that we could walk all the way around Lake Silver. On the back end of the small lake, we've spotted huge bullfrogs sitting in the water along the banks - something most people won't notice unless they are pointed out.
