Hey Phil! Great photos! Thank you for posting these and I'm looking forward to more. Hopefully there is a few of these we could use in the park index! --Robb

^ Um, no. These two threads are exactly the same. LOCKED!

While by all means not a good picture, this is the view from my office in Valencia. See if you notice anything in the background.

I can tell you all that the pricing for this years event will be very different from last years so if you start basing this years event on last years pricing you're going to have to re-do your information once it's released. Please, PLEASE, *PLEASE* just be patient and wait for the information. I will be coming very soon, I promise. Keep this thread on topic. This is about "West Coast Bash 2009" NOT 2008. Thank you! --Robb

Caption #1 - sent in by jedimaster1227 - he will recieve a TPR Bag-o-Crap! If you want to get your bag of crap, read the update and follow the instructions! The ghost of Togo past haunts Yokohama with a vengeance. The locals tell a little rhyme about her: Beware the curse of Togo Train, She had no inverts, Only pain. And if you see her at the parks, Run the hell out before she barks.

^ Cool! Thanks for posting this. --Robb

^ I would respond to your post, but TPR is closed. Sorry!

Next stop was Yokohama Cosmoworld which I still feel is one of the "prettiest" parks in the world. There is no denying this place has an AWESOME setting! Especially at night. Have a look.... Today it was KidTums turn to get us to our next park! She's got the directions, she's ready to lead us! Wait! She wants us to do morning calisthenics before we hit up the next park??? "STEP ON THE BUG!!! STEP ON THE BIG BUG!!!! Before it gets to the children...." See Comoworld during the day is nice... ...and the setting right in the middle of the city is fantastic... ...but it's at night when this park REALLY comes alive! The park is located on both sides of the bay. The Ferris wheel and "Diving Coaster" is located on one side... ...and there are some flat rides and the kiddie coaster are located on the other. It's a short walk between the two. Enough pretty lights talk...let's ride a roller coaster! Yes, Diving Coaster is pink...very pink... You guys all ready for the pink diving coaster? "Dive! Dive! Take her down easy!" And there they go! Pink and diving! Even the trains have glowey lights! Diving coaster is ICE BAT APPROVED! I'm not even sure what this is, but damn it looks awesome! Why do we keep bringing these maniacs on our trips with us? (Except Lauren...she's cool.) Seriously though, while Diving Coaster isn't the greatest coaster in the world, the park really is amazing! Everywhere you look everything glows! This place must have been a lighting designers wet dream! And in addition to the awesome lights, Cosmoworld is also home to some REALLY wacky dark rides! You guys ready? This one they almost didn't want us to ride because it's all in Japanese and they were afraid we wouldn't understand the story... Who needs to speak Japanese to understand "BOOBS!!!!" This dark ride is "Dolphin Safe" There is even something for our gay contingent to look at! But most importantly...BOOBS!!!! "So you guys ready to go on the ride with boobs and half naked dudes while holding a phallic object?" CAPTION CONTEST!!!! EMAIL DAN YOUR CAPTION!!! mrt0ad13@aol.com The first 10 people to have their caption posted will get a TPR Bag-O-Crap! Be sure to email him your mailing address too! Why are these dudes in every Japanese shooting dark ride? Even KidTums got to play this one! Cosmoworld is also one of the homes to the original "Meat Animals" and especially "Meat Cow." No, Dave is not dead. Although he looks dead. He is actually overwhelmed with joy and happiness that he has found Meat Cow. You just can't tell because joy and happiness in Dave looks the same as death. These "Meat Animals" tell you what meat parts are included. There is Meat Cow, Meat Pig, Meat Fish, Meat Chicken, Mean Human (yes, that's right), and now the brand new Meat Holstein which is a descendant of Meat Cow. Ok time to head over to the other side of the park! Get your jet packs ready to FLY!!! (Yes, they have Jet Packs in Japan because they are so advanced.) The other side of the park looks just as awesome! Lots of lights and dizzy stuff. You guys ready for your "Family Banana Coaster" credit? (I don't make up the names of these rides I swear!!!) Yay! Banana credit! See! Even the Banana Coaster has more theming that most US parks! And what does every TPR member do after a day of coasters? That's right! Close one eye and stick your tongue out! Thanks for reading!!! One of the most bizarre parks EVER is up next! --Robb

^ I'm actually in the process of getting CE Vol 12 done now and then I'm going to go through all the footage that I have for Raw 3 and what people have sent me and I'll make a list of what I have and what I need. The list is looking pretty good right now! Being realistic I think both Vol 12 and Raw 3 will be a March release. --Robb
