West Coast Bash 2009 - Six Flags Magic Mountain

[Allison_KimbellI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

GREAT EVENT!! I HAD A BLAST!!!!

[jray21Challenge me at Donkey Kong...I dare ya!]

Wow, this event was incredible. Once again, the night ERT was the greatest. We rode most of the rides 2-4 times, and almost every single time we didn't even have to get off the ride. And at the very end we triple rode batman and riddler, and only saw people 2 out of the six times!

Ditto to everything else that's been said. This was my second bash and it still amazes me how great this event is. The only downside is that I am so sore! We drove 8 1/2 hours on Saturday, rode coasters from 8:30-10 yesterday, and then drove another 8 1/2 hours today. I will try to sleep standing up but I don't think it will work.

Rob, Elissa, and crew, you do an incredible job, and this is one of the highlights of my year. I have no clue how you do it, but just keep on doing it. I can't wait until I am able to go on a real TPR trip (This years timing won't work). Thanks to TPR and Ride World, and kudos to SFMM and the management team on a great park and event. Can't wait for next year!

My only question is: What were the wristbands for? I never once had to show it, just wondering.

Can't wait to see the pictures!

You may not have noticed, but they were used! They were a way for the group to be identified and get rid of people trying to crash the event! Lanyards are tucked away for rides, sometimes under clothes, and can also be transferred easily. We wanted to make sure the event stayed exclusive for you guys, so the wristbands were the way to go!

Would someone be able to post the team scores from the Scavenger Hunt? I was on team 30.

[rcroquesI just made a donkey in No Limits!]

Team 16 REPRESENT!

So, I officially cleared off the top of my TV and, from left to right, have my piece of wood from Ghostrider I got years ago, the wheel from Sierra Twist, and the piece of wood from Terminator.

I'm still in awe of how amazing yesterday was.

Sincerely,
R.C.

Possibly. Another Scavenger Hunt Coordinator cleaned up all of the supplies. I will ask the other Coordinator if we still have the score sheet. If we still have it, I will be sure to post it in this thread.

Like everyone else, I wanted to thank everyone that was involved in making this event possible. Despite the poor weather in the morning, we had a great day!! The scavenger hunt was awesome!

Go team 16!!

One of the craziest things happened to my group yesterday. We were riding Gold Rusher because is it's a pretty nice ride as always. Right before the train entered it's double helix, the laptop bar popped up and stayed up. Back in the station, we informed the crew of what happened. I guess they didn't care because some kids got on right after us and they sent the train off. Other than that tremendous bad call from the employee, the day was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
