The Official West Coast Bash 2012 Update Thread!

[powpigI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

Wow, amazing day yesterday! Went bell to bell, got 30 rides total, not a bad day's work. Night ERT left a smile on my face all day today, scored 4 awesome X2 rides then sat on Tatsu for 4 more without moving till they shut it down & kicked me off. My sisters ran outta gas and bailed at 8, bummer for them. Got to sleep in this AM before hitting the road, got back to my girl's place in time to walk the dog before dark.
Thanks to Robb, Elissa, the whole TPR crew & of course SFMM for a terrific Bash!

Looks like I chose the wrong day of West Coast Bash to attend! Kudos to KBF for pulling out all the stops for West Coast Bash and doing so many cool things! I think it really shows how much time and effort Robb, Elissa, and the park put into making the event kick A$$! Good to know there are still some passionate people at KBF.

Ever play tug o war with a Schwarzkopf shuttle loop? Anton wins!!!


ROBB!!! DO NOT EAT THE ROLLER COASTER CABLE!!! IT'S NOT A CHURRO!!!


This is how many ride cycles and hours in Montezoomas Revenge's life! Ride Cycles has turned over once, so that is actually 1.4 million!


TPR was taken back to Knott's locomotive roundhouse to get a REALLY close look at their trains!


Dominion of the Dead will return in a whole new form for Halloween Haunt 2012.


Some of the artwork from the new Dominion of the Dead coming to Knotts Haunt in 2012.


Jeff Tucker hosted another hilarious Q&A session!


Knotts produced a very professional group photo for TPR!


Moo.




At the controls of the Galloping Goose!


We even got to crawl inside a steam locomotive at Knotts roundhouse tour!


The only actual Boysenberries grown on Knott's property is behind the locomotive roundhouse!

[sfmmfreak101The best thing about TPR is the donkeys.]

I didn't know that any boysenberries were still growing at Knott's--do they fertilize them with catawumpus manure?

And beware the Curse of the Intamin Cable! It will have your souls for toying with it as you did!

[DRACHEN_FIRE_FAN-BOYI know more about donkeys than women!]

This is proof that I must go to WCB next year.

[KilosandwichI Love Donkeys!]

Nice update, i wish i were there. But i'm in Tampa! Cheetah Hunt was awesome, and i went to Knott's last year. i now have 60 credits! and i'm am heading back today for two more.

[Chris Benvenuto2012+Mayan=BS!]

This is proof that I must go to WCB next year.

Amen to that.

[dippindotsguy8Beware of the Magic Donkey at Lotte World!]

These updates are making me so jelous!

I'm moving to California this fall though, so maybe next year

Had an absolute blast both days at the bash!

I rode Green Lantern a total of around 15-20 times using the single rider line no one seemed to know exsisted and loved every ride. Unfortunately I also got stuck on the ride for around a half hour because of issues with the cars not being able to lock their unload position in the station. this must have happened 10+ times during the day.

I still don't understand the whining about Revolution. I had some absolutely spectacular night rides on it with only one quick instance of roughness.

Jeff Tucker's Q&A at Knotts was incredibly entertaining as usual ( I got the first Soy Joy Bar ) and Brooke's haunt presentation will definitely bring me back for haunt.

I also finally got my hands on a copy of Knotts Preserved and the Sixth Key and I'm loving both! Food from Knotts was incredible and the back stage tours got us unbelievably close to some of the attractions. However me and a friend actually got an exclusive look at the private train cars by coincidence. One of the train staff called out to us as we walked by and asked us if we wanted to see the cars.

I want to thank Robb, Elissa, Magic Mountian, and Knott's for putting on a Great Bash Weekend!
