Photo TR: Westcoast Bash 2011

Postby XII » Wed Mar 30, 2011 8:58 pm

Well, about 2 weeks ago was a wonderful event that comes to Six Flags Magic Mountain every year for hundreds of roller coaster enthusiasts around the world to enjoy. Last year, this awesomeness spread over to Knotts Berry Farm and also returned there this year. While I have never experienced the awesomeness over at Knotts, I still managed to soak up all the awesomeness that was here at Six Flags Magic Mountain. I am of course talking about the wonderful event known as Westcoast Bash and am here to give you photographic evidence of just how awesome this day is. So take a look at the photos. They'll explain the awesomeness in full detail.

ADMIN EDIT: I went ahead and moved the "Photo TR:" to the front of the thread's title as opposed to the back. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Well, the day has finally come. Westcoast Bash is finally here, and in typical Westcoast Bash fashion, it totally kicked A$$.

While it isn't one of my favorite Fright Fest mazes, I'm just glad to see it behind the scenes instead of seeing it in maze forms like I saw in Fright Fest.

Just because yours is smaller doesn't make you less of a man. Unless we're talking about your brain.

There seems to be some debate over which photo is the REAL photo, so I went back to the memory card and got it directly off that. Here it is, the 100% real, unedited photo:

That ride with Jessica Alba, Megan Fox, and Brittney was pretty awesome! Good thing Caesar and his boyfriend weren't allowed to tag along!
