Sunday, April 30, 2000. My name is Matt Kelott, and I am a season pass holder to District of Fun, a Cedar Fair park. This is my current home park, as it has been the last two years. DoF is located near Petersburg Penn. The park first opened its doors in 1976. When it opened, it had 6 rides, two coasters, and three shows. In 1979, The Great American Fun Racer opened, and for many years, was the main attraction at the park. Through the years, DoF has expanded greatly. I first visited the park in 1996, two years before I moved here from Minnesota. Today I will be sharing my first ever photo TR! I am visiting on Sunday, April 30, opening weekend. The park opened Saturday but I was out of town the last two days. DoF always does a huge opening day, but I missed it . It was empty today, due to weather forecast, but it ended up being 60 degrees and clear! I did;t get the chance to go on ferris wheel or observation towers so no ariel shots. FYI, I took 0 pics of kids area. PARK HOURS APRIL: April 29/9:00am-10pm(NO season pass holder early entry) April 30/900am-9pm(NO season pass holder early entry) 2000 season is underway, for me, at least! Walking down the midway. same ole same ole. I See you! Ill talk about that beast later. Garden Grille Time for some coasters! My third favorite coaster in the park! It's not too rough and delivers great airtime. Almost always races. Beauty! Line gets LONG at opening cause it is right next to entrance. I chose my first ride of the season to be on the red side! I do prefer blue though. WOAH! What could this be?? I bet it's a new show. not too crowded. Weather was supposed to be bad maybe thats it. The big outdoor theater entrance. It hosts concerts. None today. Power Surge. Blue drops, red shoots. A wild mouse called wild mouse, unfortunately. My FAVORITE ride at the park, GREEN THUNDER. Its a Beemer sit down. Very smooth, forceful, and twisty. Just love it. Unfortunately, it's closed. Closed. Both of them. Oh well... Yeah we got one of those slide things. Its not opening till next week for reasons I do not know. It is literally the simplest ride I don't get how its down. New for 2000.........INSANE! Its a Chaos ride. INSANE! was awesome! Never been on anything like that! Best part, waited five minutes! This is a one of those fun houses. It's fun for younger people, I do it with friends, but today i'm alone. Log ride. Ill pass. Big Thunder! okay, before i talk about the ride, IT IS IN NO WAY ACCEPTABLE TO HAVE TO THUNDER COASTERS AT ONE PARK!!!!!! What were they thinking. ANywho, it is not too painful, and has a great layout. It is a real hit or miss. I rode it today, with a 0 minute wait. Great views of the ride! Really cool! Rush Hour. It is a Premier double chain lift coaster. It runs multiple trains, each on car, seating four. Its a really fun one. Okay, this is the third one I have seen. It must be bigger than a show. Well, I will find out June 2! No wait! AIRTIME! Really, crazy airtime on the little hills on this thing. Premier needs to make more. Oh, and the ride opened in 1997. This area looks like a dump. Uh WHAT??? This and that dark thing, this year is starting out weird. Toxic Twirl. I shall pass. Moving on... This grass area is free to run around in, nap, picnic, whatever you want? gives some great views of that invert. Why is there no one on the grass? I don't know actually. Normally busy. Speaking of invert, my second favorite ride at the park, UNLEASHED! it opened last year and is said to be the best invert in the world! Fear the unleashed! Waited 10 minutes. I LOVE EMPTY DAYS! LOVE IT. Time for the Schwarzkopf shuttle looper! Great ride. Its name.....STORM CHASER It is the best shuttle looper i have been on (4) cause of it's location. It is jammed in the middle of everything. Love the station. Cool shot. I see you Big Thunder Looking down a midway. Not today! ITS GOOD CAUSE ITS NEW! Power Surge open! Still not open. SPOKE TOO SOON! YES!! I must be the first in line! After 4 rides in a row on Green Thunder, I ate at Harvey's BBQ, located next to mine train, which I didn't take picture of. It located next to Big thunder and has a lake it's on. Beautiful coaster, really. Chinese Buffet. It's a hit or miss. REALLY GOOD, or horrible. Got two rides on Power Surge (drop). Launch was still not open. Three more rides on Green Thunder can't hurt right? Power Surge View from Storm Chaser queue. I see you unleashed! After a night ride on Unleashed in the back row, (front is fav), it was already 9:00. Time to go home! Bye bye. Had a great time. Be back soon! DONT FORGET TO COMMENT!!!!!!!!

Granted, but it comes with stand-up trains with tightening harnesses. I wish for a free trip to the florida theme parks -

Hey so here are some more pictures........ Comments are VERY appreciated. I cannot wait till the first story! Whoops, leaked one of the names. Oh well. I am working on this area right now. I intentionally have those holes in the queue line roof. They are for natural light and air. Entrance midway. Gonna work on that next. Any recommendations?
