More Knott's Berry Farm pictures. Tug-O-War! TPR Versus Montezoomas! Anton wins!!! ROBB!!! DO NOT EAT THE ROLLER COASTER CABLE!!! IT'S NOT A CHURRO!!! Backstage they were cookin' up some awesome polyurethane wheel soup! You, know...just a Sierra Sidewinder car hanging around backstage.... The control room under the Montazooma's Station. 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! Lots-O-Buttons and things! Another look at one of the old-school panels. If the ride gets into trouble...this light goes on! TPR was taken back to Knott's locomotive roundhouse to get a REALLY close look at their trains! Checking out the locomotive recently re-named to the "Walter K." "My name is William, and I present to you...the train." These are words to live by! It's funny because it says "nipples!" Train geeks...be jealous! A shot of the backstage area where most of the work is done on the locomotives. More awesome locomotive pics. Engine #41 Train car connecter. Manly pose? At the controls of the Galloping Goose! Very disturbing! 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! Now THAT is an old sign! Barrels = theming! They let me hang out in the locomotives! There are only a couple of these "Galloping Goose" trains left in service, and Knott's is the only one left in regular operation. Inside the Galloping Goose are displayed history of the train in this fully restored car. There are about 8 of these frames telling the story of this historic vehicle. Here is what powers the Galloping Goose! Hello, baby, light my fire.... It was really cool to be able to climb and hang out all over the trains! Oh, yeah... Did I mention we had THREE HOURS of ERT on Xcelerator! Xcelerator is arguably the best steel coaster in SoCal. Aren't we a sexy bunch? NO!!! DO NOT KILL SPEARS!!! SHE NEEDS HER OWN SHOW ON MTV!!! We also had Timber Mountain Log Ride ERT! Nice to have ERT on more than just coasters! Sure, it's kind of old-school, but it is still amazing! One of the best themed log flumes at any park! We also had ERT on Supreme Scream! For some reason, we had lots of Supreme Scream virgins on this day! Even Dallas got in his first ride! Knotts produced a very professional group photo for TPR! Knott's even had some gangsters come out and do a show right in front of us! It's hard to tell who are the TPR members in this picture. "Please.... SHOOT!!!!" Snoopy showing off the awesome WCB shirt that Knotts made for us! Moo. Knott's still has all kinds of great atmosphere "talent", like this dude. Last time we saw something like this, Jaws got demolished. Get this guy out of the park now! Taking advantage of those Screamin' Swing discounts! "C'mon...not even for free????" "This would be less frustrating if I had an iPhone with Facebook." The real reason we came to West Coast Bash! Today's mystery meat was "Walrus!" I know, right? "I'll eat pretty much anything." I got nothing.... Love the event shirt! Thank you Knott's! Just a selection of some of the coaster parts that were prizes for TPR Quest! The winner of TPR Quest will take home this awesome side panel from GhostRider's train! Knott's also put together these awesome gift baskets! TPR Quest is about to begin! "Who wants to volunteer to be a contestant?" Shirley wants to play! TPR Quest is simple - Robb asks for an idea. Contestants have to go find it in the audience. The person who brings back the item the fastest, gets the most points! "Show me a picture of the white house." Robb, is this what you're looking for? "Bring me an iPhone with TPR on the browser!" "Bring me the only other female at WCB!" "Bring me Spears with her mouth wide open!" WOW!!! Run, Shirley! Run!!!! So yeah... This happened during TPR Quest! OM NOM NOM!!! I'm shocked that our members couldn't eat pie faster! ACE would have kicked our asses! Woah, dude! You don't have to eat the plate!!! OUR PIE EATING CONTEST WINNER!!!! (No one is surprised) Shirley! It's a human wheel barrow! STOP LOOKING THERE!!!! This will also be happening again later in the evening. We'll take a moment to do one "kids quest!" "Bring me back a woman's bra!" "I'm wearing a woman's bra! Does that count?" Hooray! We actually have women in the audience! Man-boobs competition! That's not even an A Cup! Once again, ACE would KILL US in this competition! Time for the Bohemian Rhapsody sing-off! PLEASE STOP!!!! You're killing one of the best songs ever made!!! The winners of the 2012 WCB TPR Quest! Shirley took home the grand prize! Coaster wheels made it back to Australia! And back to southern california! Gift baskets for the manly men! Congrats to our winners!!! And to our losers! "That's right...I'm taking home a basket of goodies!" Now all you need is the rest of the train! Not sure why people were complaining about the new Mine Train sign....we think it looks great! Ooooh....roller coaster photo! love...Love...LOVE the Domo store! Jeff Tucker hosted another hilarious Q&A session! A new Dominion of the Dead maze was announced at West Coast Bash for Knotts Haunt 2012. 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. Concept art from the new Dominion of the Dead replacing Lockdown at Knotts Haunt in 2012. More Concept art from the new Dominion of the Dead. Even More Concept art from the new Dominion of the Dead! Night ERT on Sierra Sidewinder! Nighttime ERT on Montezoomas Revenge = AWESOME! Windseeker sure is pretty at night! Oh, and we had ERT on it! Taking over Camp Snoopy! The chocolate bacon funnel cake was back for the TPR fattys! There is simply not enough bacon on that funnel cake for TPR members! Thank you Snoopy and Knott's Berry Farm for an awesome West Coast Bash! And a HUGE thank you from Theme Park Review!

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!!!

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!

New pictures from the GCI facebook source: http://www.facebook.com/GreatCoasters Exiting the Blue Fire curve and heading into Trench 2. Coming pretty close to Blue Fire! The lift hill and station area. The camelback after the first drop. A different view of the lift and first drop. Inside the "barrel structure".
