Thanks to everyone that answered my question about crowds. If anyone is still wondering, my school district (CUSD in Orange County) gets out on June 23rd for our last day. The only days we off of between now and then are May 28th, June 1st, June 11th, and the obvious Memorial Day. I do live about an hour away from the park, though, so I don't know if my school district would influence crowds as much as LA does. Knott's and Disney are much closer to us, which are both only around a 25-30 minute drive.

My friends and I are currently planning a trip out to the park on either Tuesday, June 1st or Friday, June 11th. Both days the park closes at 6, but I was wondering which day would be less crowded. I'm assuming June 1st, because everyone will be back to work and back to school after Memorial Day. What do you guys think?

That was an awesome photo TR! Very creative, and you had some great shots of Riddler and Batman in there.
-
This was a really fun photo TR, Chuck! Seeing your photos of Disneyland makes me want to go back there sooner than later. I'm glad you enjoyed your first WCB, too!

A Transformers themed 4D coaster with fire and on-ride audio!

Very nice Photo TR that really shows off how great the event was! Those Scream photos are amazing, and now I'm wishing even more that I had gone on those extra backstage tours. I saw you guys throughout the day, too, but never came by to say hi. Hopefully I can meet you guys and some other TPR members at WCB 2011. Thanks for sharing the awesome photos!

Thank you so much for such an amazing day on Saturday at SFMM! It was my first coaster event in general, and I will definitely try to make any future TPR events that are within my reach, and will definitely be back for WCB 2011! Some things I thought were awesome were:
-Morning ERT on X2 was great. I got 3 rides in and all 3 times we just walked back around the station and got on again. My friends and I rode every coaster open for morning ERT, but unfortunately missed the expedition excursion. We want to try and do all the extra WCB stuff next year, instead of just focusing on rides.
-The backstage tour from Deja to Batman was awesome. William was there waiting with us before we started and he was a really cool guy! Alex was our tour guide and I think he did a great job.
-The lunch was excellent. I got some of everything and it was all great. The unlimited refills on drinks was the best part, though!
-The Q&A and presentation was awesome! I had no idea the management was such a chill group of guys, and I really felt welcomed at the park with how much of a fun attitude they all had. The whole day there were employees smiling and asking us how our days going, even Jay Thomas himself! I love how the park president can take time out of his busy day to walk around the park, picking up trash and interacting with guests. The staff at Magic Mountain did an excellent job making my friends and I feel welcome!
-Night ERT was the highlight of the day. Racing Colossus was amazing, and I couldn't believe how much fun it actually was! I wasn't expecting much but it was awesome how the ride seemed really competitive! The audio remix on Terminator was hilarious, and that was the best night ride I've ever had in the park! Terminator is blazing fast at night! The only other rides we went on during night ERT were Batman and Goliath, and both were excellent.
Overall, we had an awesome time at SFMM and I'm looking forward to attending next year's WCB, too! Thank you to Robb and everyone at SFMM who worked so hard to put on such an awesome event!
I just have one more question. When were the backstage tours for X2, Scream, and Colossus? If those were during the morning expeditions, I wish I could have made it! Oh well, I'm already looking forward to next year!
-
Yesterday at SFMM was my first TPR event ever, and my friends and I were very impressed! We had a great time, and I'm wishing I could have gone to the Knott's portion today, too. Hopefully if it's two parks next year, I'll be able to make it for both days. Thanks to Robb and everyone at SFMM that put on such a great event yesterday, and I'll definitely make sure to attend WCB 2011 next year, too!

The only categories I care about are Best Picture and Best Director. The Best Picture noms I've seen are Inglorious Basterds, Up, The Hurt Lockr, Avatar, and District 9. I think Inglorious Basterds should win Best Picture, because it was all around the most entertaining movie out of the five that I saw, and the entire cast worked great together. But I'm guessing The Hurt Lockr will be the one to win. I'm also guessing Katherine Bigelow will win Best Director, and I'm completely fine with that. I will be very disappointed if Avatar wins Best Picture, though. VERY disappointed...
-
That T-shirt design is great! My friends and I are really excited for WCB! Only two weeks left!
And don't worry, Robb, we'll be following the rules. As long as X2 doesn't have a max height restriction of 54".
-
I usually don't bring my camera to theme parks anymore, but I definitely want to take advantage of this awesome perk and get some behind the scenes shots of the rides! Thanks for the update, Robb!
-
^ If you want to make changes just email me and we can figure that out.
I sent an email about changing the T-shirt sizes for two of the people in my group a few days ago. If it's not too much trouble, would that be possible?
-
I don't think a half-pipe coaster would work with Superman, since the back-half would run straight through the only path (to my knowledge) leading to the ride. I think if they just give it some fresh paint and some cooler stuff in the queue, that'd be enough for it. I want SFMM to do something with Scream! if they're going to alter any rides.
-
Will those who have already registered be getting another confirmation or reminder email as it gets closer to the event? Or is it just that one we got when we made our purchase/registration?
-
I just registered one more of my friends. We're all set and ready for March!
-
I just registered for the SFMM day right now. I'm excited now!
-
Would I be able to buy a ticket for a guest separately, probably next week, if I were to buy myself and some other guests tickets this weekend?
-
Well would it still cost $57 for the event and $54 for a season pass? Wouldn't it be cheaper if you were upgrading to a pass with your WCB ticket? I remember they used to say you could buy a general admission ticket, and upgrade to a season pass for $10 more. I'm not exactly sure, though...
-
If I were attending the SFMM part of the event, how much would it cost, in addition to the $57, to ugrade to a season pass that day?

1. X2
2. Tatsu
3. The Riddler's Revenge
4. Batman: The Ride
5. Goliath
6. Scream!
7. Terminator Salvation: The Ride
8. Viper
9. Déjà vu
10. Goldrusher
11. Colossus
12. Ninja
13. Superman: The Escape
14. Revolution
I don't care how long the wait for X2 is, I will ALWAYS ride it at least once every visit. At night, it's the best experience I've ever had on a theme park attraction.
Tatsu I love so much, because it was the first coaster I ever rode at SFMM. I remember being really excited to finally be at the park and riding my first flying coaster. The pretzel loop is just insane, and the rest of the ride is really relaxing and fun.
Riddler and Batman are kind of tied for me. I love Batman because it's really fast and never slows down, but I like Riddler because you get hang time and some nice g's. Both rides are about the same, but Riddler's station music, longer track length, and stand-up position give it the upper hand.
Goliath's first drop and helix of death are both awesome. This is probably the only ride in the park where I've kept my hands up the entire ride. It's REALLY powerful at the bottom of the first drop, too. I felt it last time when I accidentally leaned forward a little. haha
Scream, Terminator, Viper, Déjà Vu, Goldrusher, and Colossus are all fun and enjoyable rides to me. I make the effort to ride each of them at least once a visit, but my top 5 is what gets priority.
I don't care much for Ninja, Superman, or Revolution. Ninja's too slow and shaky for me, Superman is too short, and Revolution hurts. I can go to the park without riding these three and I wouldn't really mind.
-
Sorry if this has already been asked, but can you come without a parent/guardian if you are 16 or 17?
-
Okay. Thank you everyone for the information.
-
Alright. Thanks for the fast reply, and I'll make sure to plan ahead for crowds!
Also: Would you happen to know which rides close in the rain? And if the fireworks still go on? That would really help in planning my trip accordingly.
-
Hey everyone! I was just wondering what Disneyland in CA is like when it rains. I've heard that the park isn't very crowded at all. But what attractions close in the rain? Do the fireworks still go on at night? And if you've been in the rain before, how was your trip compared to a visit on a sunny day? The reason being, I'll be visiting the park on Tuesday, and the forecast says "few showers."
EDIT: This is the forecast I'm following.

I remember the Screamin' Swing passholder deal being there last year. But I guess it wasn't being advertised until now, because all I'd see signs for is the deal for two-for-one rides before noon. I would just go up and either they'd ask me if I had a pass, or I would ask them if I could use my pass for a discount. The answer was always yes.
