OMG- Fire in the Hole was my first and favorite rollercoaster as a kid and then I grew up and thought about it years later and was like “people were wearing sheets with hoods and burning people’s houses down and I once rode that thing 13 times in a row because I could.”

I’ve since done more research on the Baldknobbers and it’s fascinating, but for a minute I was concerned about what my fuzzy kid-brained memories had witnessed repeatedly.

I grew up going to Dogpatch, USA as well, so you never know. 😂

I remember as a kid being afraid to ride Fire in the Hole after it accidentally went down a service track and decapitated someone.

Fortunately I read about that happened WAY after the fact or nobody would’ve ever talked me into riding it in the first place.

It's real, I remember when it happened. Everyone was freaking out about it.
