I still can't believe it's still going! I rode this the first year it opened in 1968 when I was nine. I was completely facinated with the new animation. This ride really shows kids these days how technology has changed in the last 55 years.

I used to go to Silver Dollar City with my mom and sister growing up, multiple times a year, bc my granddad was a volunteer woodcarver there for 27 years so we would always get season passes and go visit him while we were visiting them and he was working. The best days of my life, honestly. The flooded mine, fire in the hole, and grandfathers mansion were always our favorite rides/attractions there. We would wait in line for hours in the snow to watch A Christmas Carol and the Christmas tree lighting every winter. Wish I could go back to him being being alive and spending my favorite days with my favorite people😭 if you’re ever there, go to the swinging bridge. After 25 years of work there they allow you to name something after yourself. My granddad chose the swinging bridge, however when they repainted they didn’t give him the bridge again, but he still has a box right next to the bridge that says “Bill’s keg powder” or something to that affect (it’s been about 10 years since we have gone last haha) but that’s my granddad😍😍😍😍 ask about Bill Carroll and Raymond in the woodcarving shop and I’m sure they’ll know who you’re talking about! He was 80 and still carving there with shakey hands! Always wanted him to teach me how but he got too shakey and weak by the time I was old enough. Still have all of his hand carved wooden ornaments and boxes he made for me though❤️🥰

I can remember that ride before it was a shooting gallery,,, and it was still fun!

Kept expecting to hear pirate music and "Dead men tell no tales" :)

I went to SDC in 1968 I was 6 my pops didn’t pay for us to visit which was accepted practice you just couldn’t ride the rides. I was really wanting to ride that thing. Then my wife & went in about 1989 or so & they had the guns which I thought was cool but my wife absolutely loved it. Later we came back with my little boy I made sure he rode up with her cause she was so much fun on it. They both had more points than me. She is deceased now & im taking him back at 20 yrs old. We’re going at the end of July 2019.

Was just telling my six yr old about this ride, but Dollywood has replaced it. Was so nice to show her what my fav ride was like. Thank you!

What is fun about that ride and a little "secret" is that the person that is in that booth above you catches you shooting someone with the gun before the ride starts is that they will shoot you with water and make a joke about how that is not nice. I found out the hard way but had a good laugh about it.

I love that ride my baby sister was so scared 😅

When I went on that with my cousins and my aunt and uncle and my mom and dad I was screaming my head off even tho I've been on this so many times 😂😂😂

The guns actually make this look kind of awesome. Who hasn't ridden on "It's a small world" and wished that they had had some guns? lol

That looks like a treat! Thank you for sharing this.

This is my favorite ride at Silver Dollar city

My favorite ride in the world ❤️

this ride scared the shit out of me. i was 13 with a fear of animatronics in water

This ride was scary that I was crying before I got on

Omg....this looks fun. We are planning a trip to Branson and I definitely plan to do silver dollar city

This brings back good memories

Thanks for posting Dolly didn't keep ours and I forgot everything about it until your video and it all came was 100% like ours 👍👍🤟🤟🤜🤛 thanks for the stroll down memory lane it was great! Please never take down

Welcome to the mine days Welcome to the toil Welcome to the trouble beneath the earth and soil You'll sweat a little water You'll sweat a little blood And you might get out if the mine don't flood

I went on that ride with my Big Sis,Mom,Uncle,Aunt and my two cousins i was crying after the ride it was so scary Edit: I was about 7 or 8 years old

This creeped the heck out of me as a kid

I can imagine the smell of that ride

I kept thinking there would be a little drop somewhere. That would've been neat.

This is a fun ride, well maybe not ride, but attraction idk.

Man, I miss the version of this at Dollywood.

I love that ride

This was always my favorite ride. But I rode it three times when I was there last summer and none of the guns worked.

Dollywood really lost something when they took this out. Everyone could ride it, and everyone enjoyed it.

I always thought that the guy on top of the other guy’s shoulders looked just like Moe from Three Stooges. So every time I pass by him I say “Hey Moe!!” And people laugh all the time!!

Have you ever been on thunderation? It's pretty cool ride you should check it out. Also powder keg, but powder keg is more intense.

4:43 I remember when this section was more spooky. Had ghosts all over.

Too bad one at Dollywood had snakes. And my props to Silver Dollar for keeping they log flume ride. Dollywood took theirs out too.

Just rode this a few months back and it needs some serious work. Most of the guns didn't work and even if they did the targets didn't do anything when you shoot them. I know it wasn't a gun ride when it first opened 50 something years ago but I grew up with the target shooting and without it just wasn't the same. Still fun for nostalgia though.

Great video! You have an awesome light on your camera! What kind of camera did you use?

we love silver dollar city

" I'll get outta here, no matter what!"

Hmmmm never seen this ride at SDC. And I have been to SDC many times, the ride that reminds me of this is fire in the hole. Now fire in the hole is pretty fun!

That ride was so fun

I liked it better before it was a shoot out..

got on the one at dollywood was a little girl luved it

I was that annoying kid in the 90s whose grandpa worked at SDC so I practically lived there and got bored so I would find lost people and literally guide them where they wanted to go. Lol My grandpa was so mischievous that he tried to get Dolly Parton (who was visiting Branson that day to promote her Dixie Stampede or something) to stand in a certain spot near the Lost River ride where she most certainly would get soaked but she didn't fall for it. Lol

Originally, before the guns were added, the figures had motion picture faces projected onto their blank heads. Most of them were singing the words to a song.

I thought there was more torturing prisoners in this ...I guess it's changed a lot . I also remember more strobe lights.

Needs to be gutted, re-themed and updated.

A question for those who were fortunate enough to go on both before the one at Dollywood was removed: When the guy triggers the "explosion " with the tnt, I seem to remember the Dollywood version having a much bigger water splash, possibly behind a plexiglass shield. Was that really the case, or was my (at the time) 7 year old mind just playing tricks on me?

Love those old dark rides--hate they closed it.

At least the guns worked in this video

i have bine on this ride before

I went there

this is how i remember it from being little kid. i went yesterday. half the stuff is gone. no saw blade comming at you. now dynamit blowing up scene. no prisoners in mine (guess they all found their way out and escaped or were caught). no skunk. no cannon ball water shooting up. I mean no sign breaking apart. I mean literally half was gone. and half what was left didnt work no more. no more train on fire in the hole either. if i go back im skipping those 2 rides so i can remember how they used to be. lots changed in 30 years. even new stuff from 15 years ago is gone.

I've been there 14 times and I have never heard of this ride??

i don't remember the targets being there when I was a kid. have they always had that?

I think you should of turned off the light? well like some people I think would like it if you turned off the light on you're phone if that is what is causing it cuz it is more fun. Just pointing out

So is this pretty much the same thing as Dollywood's now defunct Flooded Mine ride? That is minus the gun shooters and targets.

Where do u guys live

The ride was way better back in the 80's long before they added the stupid guns and toned the ride down to be more PC.

Where's the signature music?

Am I the only person who didn’t know this ride ever existed is it still open?

Lol at someone who said this was better than Outlaw Run

I liked the ride better as a kid before they put the guns in.

That’s literally creepy as hell

Mannequin challenge: The Ride

We took my cousins from Ohio to SDC -it was like 103 degrees with 100% humidity that day-that ride was a godsend, but rather boring.

I've been there 14 times and I have never heard of this ride??
