TPR taking advantage of SFMM's new liquor license! Popsicles and roller coasters... What combo is better? More random WCB fun! Sportin a shirt designed by the coolest guy ever. A guy so cool that he gets at least 10 chicks EVERY DAY! A guy so amazing that Lady Gaga is designing her next costume to be the shape of his penis. A guy so awesome they have a parade in his honor on the moon, and Richard Branson flies the entire cast of Arrested Development to the moon to join in in the festivities. Seriously, the guy is just really effing cool. That's one lucky bear! Now those are some happy X2 riders! Get a room you two! Anyone know which ride used to be here?

Hhappy Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Here are a few more pictures from WCB at SFMM. Remember: Throughout the weekend, we will provide you with updates as the event progresses. So, keep an eye on this thread as well as the TPR Facebook and Twitter pages! http://www.facebook.com/themeparkreview http://twitter.com/#!/ThemeParkReview A piece of Log Jammer to a lucky winner! Another piece of Log Jammer winner!!! Next time we are here, this is going to look VERY different! Some of the Q&A winners were taken on a private tour of something new! Does anyone know where we are? Willoughbys Mansion has been totally gutted for a new maze coming to Fright Fest in 2012. Some of you old folks may remember this as the Magic Pagoda. It's all been gutted for a new Fright Fest maze! A few TPR members who won at the Q&A session got to do this private tour! Any old school SFMM fans remember what this was? Dinner time at West Coast Bash includes BEER! "Are you sure this is beer and not cups of urine?" Beer makes any TPR event even better!!! Night time is a great time for credit whoring! Already prepared for X2 night ERT! Hooray! The sign has been updated since last WCB! What are these pandas doing??? You know you want to be that pole! Tatsu ERT! Don't you wish you were here? Tatsu riders getting their crazy on for night ERT! Tatsu line has totally cleared out for night ERT! Zero train wait for Tatsu was pretty awesome! My favorite moment of West Coast Bash! ERT on an Arrow classic! "Look, just smile for the picture, and I'll go away, I promise!" X2 ERT!!! New timers in the loading docks help with dispatch times. Holy crap! X2 is running AMAZING! Some X2 insanity! Bethany & Dallas getting another ride in on X2! Picking up coaster chicks tip #69 "Always let the girl ride the inside seat on X2!" (unless of course if she likes it rough and in the rear, then the adventure is all on your own!) X2 ERT was extended! GET EXCITED!!! Another great West Coast Bash at Six Flags Magic Mountain! Thank you Six Flags Magic Mountain! See you at West Coast Bash in 2013! Edited June 7, 2013 by ernierocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) It's time for another West Coast Bash day !!! It's Knott's Berry Farm time Remember: Throughout the weekend, we will provide you with updates as the event progresses. So, keep an eye on this thread as well as the TPR Facebook and Twitter pages! http://www.facebook.com/themeparkreview http://twitter.com/#!/ThemeParkReview Index: More Knott's Berry Farm Good morning Knott's Berry Farm! Are you ready for TPR? Say what you want about GhostRider, but damn... Sure still is pretty! Be sure to check into WCB on Facebook! TPR has our own park maps for West Coast Bash! Tickets for the West Coast Bash backstage tours! TPR is ready to rock Knotts Berry Farm! "Lots of West Coast Bash stuff!" Our first backstage tour is Silver Bullet! See that funky looking thing on the track up there? That's where we're going! We all got the opportunity to sit in Silver Bullet's "maintenance ball!" Two of the maintenance crew sits in this device to inspect the track of Silver Bullet. Note: This is NOT two of the maintenance crew! Here's a few coaster nerd shots. And another nerdy shot! There are only a handful of B&M coasters that have one of these. So it was very cool to be able to get a backstage tour of this. "Oh, no.... not again!" We put the Australians in the cage where they belong! Bethany & Dallas will be here for the remainder of the day! Here's a view of Silver Bullet you don't normally get to see. Yes, more nerdy coaster shots! Sometimes...I feel like I could really use some of these... Backstage in Silver Bullet's control room. In Silver Bullet's maintenance room, you can see how they keep track of train inspections. "Gotta get the wheel credit in!" Manly pose in the maintenance ball! Next up was Montezoomas Revenge backstage tour! Kent, one of the maintenance team at Knott's knows a lot about Schwarzkopf shuttle loops as he used to maintain the one at Six Flags Astroworld! We got VERY up close and personal with Monty! We even got to stroke Montys cable! Launch cable POV!!! Edited June 7, 2013 by ernierocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
