Thanks I do enjoy it just wanted to see if it interested people enough.

Dear Readers, It is quite discouraging when this story often seems to be neglected. Should I go on with this park or is the interest level just not there. Please let me know. Thanks!!

I will always say Twisted Colossus and rarely TC. I mean typing I will write TC but talking always Twisted Colossus.

I think "TC" is the closet it got so far^^^

Saturday, May 4, 2002 Matt Kelott here. Just attended opening day 2002. Park was PACKED!!! Regarding High Voltage, it was closed all day with mechanics working on it. Rumor has it HV could be delayed close to three weeks or a month. Oy. Also, I am not crazy the park did say there was going to be a kid's ride, and to my understanding there is not so far. Here are some pics from today... High Voltage really stands out over the park. You can get really close to it. looking down HV. You can kind of see how crazy close HV gets to Stormchaser WOW This just shows how busy the park was HUGE Entrance looks nice. Exit of ride. You can see the really open station from here. Well thats all for today. I may go back to the park next week or the week after. FEEDBACK REALLY APPRECIATED!!!!!

Friday, November 30, 2001 The park sent out a statement this morning saying that the Fun House brilliantly named Fun House, will not return for the 2002 season. The building however, will not be removed for future purposes. My guess is that it will be used for mazes for future years during District of Fright. ALSO, The park said that District of Fright will have it's first ever "scare zone"!!!! No word on theme for that yet.

Wednesday November 7 Hey Matt Kelott here. Sorry for my absence I have had a lot going on, which resulted in my lack of ability to attend District of Fright. My friend told me it was slightly worse than last year. Oh well... Any who, the seasons over and now its the offseason slump, but in all goodness the park sent out a picture of the supposed logo for High Voltage. (It came out blurry for some reason. The park better have a high res one!)

More for me!

I was at the park yesterday, and on Falcons, One of the seats would not fold back. the entire night, they were running falcons fury furious with one of the seats not pulling back.

Monday, August 20, 2001 Park just announced next years attractions!!! NEW FOR 2002 IS.... HIGH VOLTAGE- An Intiman Inverted impulse coaster. Color Scheme: Blue/Blue Trains: 16 rows seat 32. Height: 208 ft Speed: 67 MPH One spine is straight and one is twisted. Located where mat slide used to be. It will pass under Storm Chaser at one point. SUPER EXCITED!!! Also, there will be a new family or kiddie ride. Type unknown.

URGENT* I will be going to BGT on the 22 and 23, a mon and tues. It is supposed to rain. DO rides close a lot for rain??? Also, hoe busy will it be?

Sunday, August 19, 2001 So the big announcement tomorrow and I have been thinking. Why would the track be there if they are not building in that spot. I have no clue what intimate roller coaster could fit there. PLEASE be an actually thrill ride. Also, I hear supports are on site and they are the same shade of blue. hmmm, blue on blue. Okay.......

Thursday, August 16, 2001 Matt Kelott here. Went to the park today and I saw some Blue track sitting on the old spot of the mat slide!!! Guess I have to wait to find out what it us until the 20th. Taken from the ferris wheel

Nice report^. Glad you had a good time!

I am probably going to the park from across the country. I may go next week. I have been there once before. I am wondering if christmas eve and day are busy, and which fast lane they require. Thanks!

Tuesday, August 1, 2000 The park sent out a teaser for when the new attraction will be announced. I see wood!!!!! You never know! Also, the park is going to do a thing next month called five nights of fright, where each night for five nights they will announce a maze for district of fright. ***First three suggestion/comments about the park will get to see layout/plans and the whole ordeal for the new ride. I will pm the person.***

Just had an idea... When the Wing rider comes out soon... A wing rider themed to christmas. Brown supports, Green track, top of track accented with red, red rails, brown trains (reindeer) maybe first train red (santa). It will be a launched wing rider so five car trains and the launch would go into a Stengel dive type thing. I also found the perfect soundtrack for it.

WOW!!!

I am SOOO excited and these photos are making me even more excited! I seriously cannot wait for the opening. I must be there when it opens. Also, In a photo awhile back in the thread with the postcard of the layout there was a blue train I think. So if I am correct, there will be purple, red, blue and maybe another?? Orange would be nice.

Monday, July 30, 2001 Hey Matt Kelott here. Just got back from Germany. Went to Heide park and had a FANTASTIC time. I was able to try their brand new ride, Colossus, the first Intiman pre-fab wooden coaster. It was the best roller coaster I have ever been on, steel or wood. SO MUCH airtime and such a smooth coaster. CRAZY! Boy if only they built one on the east coast. One can always dream! I mean, we haven't got a coaster since 1999 (UNLEASHED) so I am expecting one this year. You never know The park (District of Fun) is announcing their announcement day tomorrow. I hear there will also be a teaser . Very excited. Well, thats all for today. "Have a fun filled day"

^I thought that Full Throttle was 12 mil

^DO you mean just Blue side or both?

Thursday, June 14, 2001 Matt Kelott here. Nothing has changed since my last update, except Rotor was closed all day. There was maintenance working on it. I really hope this classic doesn't parish.

Sunday, June 3, 2001 Matt Kelott here. Went to the park today with a friend of mine visiting from New York. We also went to Kennywood the next day. He really enjoyed the park. We did not see any shows because we decided to do as many rides as we can while he's here. Lines were pretty long but we took advantage of the 30 minutes of early entry if you bring your receipt from seven-eleven. Notable max waits: -Simba: 50 minutes Fun Racer: 40 Minutes UNLEASHED: 100 Minutes Roaring Rapids: 35 Minutes Rush Hour: 45 Minutes. Park hours 8:30 (early) 9:00-9:00 Weather was very nice today, though at night the temp dropped like a QB getting sacked by Ray Lewis. It also rained for like an hour off and on from 3-4 Took some pictures. Empty during early entry. Blue side was open. Apparently it opens for the first time this season yesterday. I guess they fixed the chain. It was racing all day, but when I took the pic red was winning, it was at bottom of drop. Why is there a mix of fence. Strange. Must be replacement from damage maybe? Food court was PACKED latter in the day. Never seen it that busy idk why. Rain is bad, mkay? Don't rain, mkay? Right after rain Simba had NO line! niiiiccceeee Look better, please
