IronWolfman Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Good that you are adding a large water ride and renaming/rethemeing Green Thunder to Simba, it gives a better theme to that area of our park. Also, new theaters and complexes are good, especially for events and other non-ride related things. Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercoaster5 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Saturday, December 30, 2000 Â Hey Matt Kelott here. It's another offseason, but not all is bad! DoF sent out the logo for Simba today! Pretty nice new years present. Â From the pic, I am guessing that one of the colors is orange, probably the track. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THE LOGO?? Â I like it a lot to be honest. Â NOTE: Park said this was subject to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekomakid Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 The logo looks really good! One thing I hope would be at district of fright next year is scare zones. It would complete the event a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercoaster5 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Satrurday, April 28, 2001 Â Hey! Matt Kelott here. Today was the opening day for DoF and I had to be there! Deep in the Jungle opened with some new additions. Â Read more to find out whats going on at DoF in 2001! (rhyme not intended) Â I only took photos of new stuff so it's a small report. Â Other news not addressed in pics: Â -Fun racer only running red side. Did not see blue trains at all. Â -Stormchaser closed all day. I hear its a mechanical issue. The new hotness of the year. AMAZING. Simba>>>>>>>Green thunder. The pain is amazing. Jungle Rapids. I don't know why there was no permanent sign yet but there were temporary ones. Didn't ride it yet cause it was pretty cold today. Not that popular on this chilly day. Â NOTE: Ride op on Simba said those little face statue things will have speakers that will talk to guests. She said it is supposed to be funny. Apparently they tested the on the employees but they are not ready for public use. I guess there will be a camera to see what to say to guests. SUPER COOL! Nice seating area over path. I smell expansion going under tunnel to big area of grass behind. Sweet views from upstairs seating. The new dining experience was REALLY excellent. It was a mix of BBQ and sandwiches and salads. I got the BBQ chicken sandwich with beans mixed with pork. Really awesome. SIMBA! new paint on station and they FINALLY added a queue cover. Mat slide is gone. hhhmmmm. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE ADDITIONS?!?!?!?! Edited December 11, 2014 by coastercoaster5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baileybrucem Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 This is a really cool park, I liked that it opened its first year and had a halloween event. I would look into custom ride supports (Steelworx, Moby's Jungle) to make your coasters look more realistic. Love the layout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercoaster5 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks! Unfortunately, my computer does not respond well to CS. The park could be a lot better with it but whatever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercoaster5 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Friday, May 4, 2001 Matt Kelott here. The park was open this friday for some event, but was open to public as well. It was empty cause it was a friday while kids were in school, and it was cold. Â The hours were 9-8 today. The entrance for the new entertainment complex.(see announcement). It is not open yet. I heard this first shows are memorial weekend. There is still work to be done to the entrance, I hope. Definitely a sign. Blue side of fun racer is still closed. Ride ops said something was damaged with chairlift and they are awaiting a part.No word one how long that could take. Red side line is much longer now unfortunately. Line today was about 30 minutes. Yeah I did! Simba looking great! Still haven't tried out rapids. Queue for mat slide still there. Big Thunder was running great today! Had no line all day. WHAT DO YA THINK OF THE PARK?

coastercoaster5 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Sunday, May 6, 2001 Â Matt Kelott here. I am VERY excited. I have just been invited to Germany in late July for work related reasons, and I will have the chance to visit Heide Park! I know that they opened the first Intiman Pre-fab this past August, And I am stoked to try it out. I won't do a TR on this thread, but maybe on the Heide thread. Â On another note, I headed to the park today and the Blue side of The Great American Fun Racer is still closed. Stormchaser is also still closed. Â I will probably visit the park again on the first weekend after memorial cause I am busy right now. When I go the entertainment complex should be open. Â See ya soon!

coastercoaster5 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercoaster5 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercoaster5 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercoaster5 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Tuesday, August 1, 2000 The park sent out a teaser for when the new attraction will be announced. I see wood!!!!! You never know! Â Â 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. Â ***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.*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharman19 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'd like to see an Impulse coaster. In case you want to use a CT Or whatever floats your boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercoaster5 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thursday, August 16, 2001 Â Matt Kelott here. Â Went to the park today and I saw some Blue track sitting on the old spot of the mat slide!!! Â Guess I have to wait to find out what it us until the 20th.

coastercoaster5 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Sunday, August 19, 2001 Â 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. Â Also, I hear supports are on site and they are the same shade of blue. hmmm, blue on blue. Okay....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Password121 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Sorry this park hasn't gotten more feedback. Voltage looks like a good fit. Looking forward to the next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercoaster5 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Wednesday November 7 Â 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... Â 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. Â (It came out blurry for some reason. The park better have a high res one!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercoaster5 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 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. Â My guess is that it will be used for mazes for future years during District of Fright. Â ALSO, Â The park said that District of Fright will have it's first ever "scare zone"!!!! Â No word on theme for that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 High Voltage sounds interesting. At 208' & 67 mph, High Voltage is the world's; 2nd tallest, and tied for 2nd fastest (with Alpengeist), Inverted Roller Coaster. An Intamin is surely going to be a crowd pleaser.

coastercoaster5 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Saturday, May 4, 2002 Â Matt Kelott here. Just attended opening day 2002. Park was PACKED!!! Â 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. Â 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. Â 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!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercoaster5 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Dear Readers, Â 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. Â Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 If you're enjoying building the park and the storyline, keep going. That's what it comes down to- it's ultimately your choice. If you're that discouraged by the lack of comments and it means that much to you, then don't continue. It's not worth your time/effort if you're not enjoying yourself.m I always enjoy reading through park timelines, but I won't always comment. Hope this helps your decision.
