Hot Shots Fire Brigade was a very disappointing ride at Santas Village and shouldnt have been added. Located to the left side of the park near Rudys Rapid Transit Coaster, Hot Shots Fire Bridgade doesnt fit in with the Christmas theme. This ride doesnt look all that nice and looks like something you would find at a carnival. Generally, Hot Shots Fire Brigade is a walk-on due to its low popularity. When you get on the ride, you can choose to either ride on a rising and lowering plaform allowing you to use water guns to spray the targets, or you can ride in the small firetrucks supporting the platform. There are six trucks and platforms. It takes pretty long to load Hot Shots Fire Brigade. Once on, you get a horrendous 2 minute ride. All the guns do shoot and the platforms rise and fall, but the ride doesnt keep track of your score which is disappointing. You just shoot your water stream inside a little black hole. Overall, a unique ride concept that needs to get all the kinks out, like not keeping score. Also, Santas Village should have picked a ride that fit in with the Christmas theme. I recommend this ride to anyone who can look past your score not being kept. Children usually have a blast on this riding around in the firetrucks.
