^I agree, it was harder than the wood that Chris tried to also eat!

^^I miss you too! You need to let me know if you need help with anything over the summer, I'd be there in a heartbeat!

Now I had 90% of the WCB photos up, but TPR froze so I have to start all over again. UGH!

Okay, lets try uploading these again!

West Coast Bash!!!

The day started early for me, like REALLY early! I was at the park to help set up and check people in at about 6:45am! If your last name was M-Z then I probably was the one who handed you your packet!

I just want to say THANK YOU to both TPR and SFMM for everything that day! It was fantastic, and I really really had a good time!

On to the pictures!

But first, a message sponsored by Puma.

X2 should so be sponsored by Puma, it could be called "X2=Puma Coaster".

That is one example why I don't have valued ideas.

 Description:
Tim explained to us a lot about X2. It should be testing with riders by the end of the week, but he did not gaurantee it to be any smoother. However, he did say it would be more reliable, which is a GREAT thing in this case.
 Viewed:  2124 Time(s)



IMG_3934.jpg

 Description:
These trains are going to be saved just in case X2 fails. If that is the case, a washer and dryer are going to be bolted to where the seats currently are. The track will be painted blue and orange and sponsored by Tide. So far, the name "X3 = Spin Cycle" has been rumored.

Just kidding.

^Probably! All I know is that I won one round, which does prove that everyone on the plane was a total moron!

I believe its actually a chain lift dog, what the train actually uses to attach to the lift chain. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

There was more than one Snorlax in that front seat. But I liked the term. Very Dr. Seuss.
