Who noticed some pre-show audio while in the "green room" waiting to board Superman? If you missed it before, try keeping your ears open past all the random chatter echoing off the walls. You might be pleasantly surprised.

According to The Coaster Guy site, the former Percy’s Railway coaster in the renamed Thomas-free “Whistlestop Park” area, has been renamed Magic Flyer.

 

As interesting as that name sounds.... you know....

^ That was on Screamscape as well. I think "Magic Flyer" is the fifth name that ride has had...could be a record!

 

Eric

[Fire2box]

^ Totally agreed!

 

It's not only about riding rides with no lines, but knowing that everybody riding with you is also an enthusiast and just wants to have fun on the rides. One of the most fun rides I've had is on Gold Rusher with a whole train of screaming "hands in the air" freaks. Good times.

 

That sounds a lot better then a train full of random people going " borin... oh shit I thought our heads were gonna smack into the track." Granted that might of been me. <_>

If I remember from last year it was about 700 people who were there. So I'd say around the same, maybe more?

Why is everyone so concerned about how many tickets were sold to West Coast Bash? Why does it matter? Are you concerned about the lines during ERT? Well, don't be. You guys need to TRUST US that we wouldn't put on an event where people would have to wait in line.

 

Don't worry about how many tickets were sold. Worry about showing up to the event and having an excellent time!

 

I'm so glad to hear that. The "Coaster Enthusiast Day" factor had me a little worried.

 

Back to counting minutes...

The Magic Flyer sign was up on Wednesday as shown below:

I know you guys will see the hilarity in this!

 

Holy Crime Wave, Batman!

 

The guys in the real deputy uniforms caught a bad guy in a fake uniform driving a stolen getaway car Wednesday night at Magic Mountain.

 

Around 8 p.m., deputies from the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s station responded to a burglar alarm at the Magic Mountain sheriff’s substation near the front of the amusement park, and found a window smashed and the back door open.

 

While they were conducting their investigation, they saw a man dressed in a Magic Mountain Security uniform attempting to leave the area in a Six Flags maintenance truck. The deputies stopped him to ask him about the break-in and quickly discovered he was the suspect they were looking for.

 

Carl Banks, 27, told deputies he had stolen the uniform and the Six Flags vehicle. Deputies also learned that costumes for Batman and The Flash had been taken earlier in the day when someone broke into the park’s wardrobe department. Those costumes were found in Banks’ possession.

 

Banks is being held at the Santa Clarita Valley sheriff’s station in lieu of $25,000 bail. He faces felony charges of burglary and grand theft and is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.

18 Hours to go till actual park opening!

 

Thats 1115 minutes!

[DisneyPro]

The forecast calls for rain on Sunday. Wondering if it is worth a drive down; if the park will open or not... Is there a chance the park could close for the day? I'd hate to drive there then find out the park is closed.

[coasternut]

WCB, (Sat & Sun) all I can say is burr and possibly wet. Good luck..

[ebl]

^^ The last I heard, rain isn't supposed to show up till late Sunday. If that's the case, the Bash should be fine.

 

Eric

[EscapeFromKryptonBOI]

13 hours to go.

 

 

It sucks I could be asleep right now and wake up like no time passed by, but I need to stay up a little late... grrrr

[coasternut]

It'll still be "quite nippley" tomorrow - Saturday morning for ERT...

[Freefallbestrideever]

Socal doesn't even qualify as "chilly" or "nippley" The Bay area, now that you might call "a little cold"

[SuperShawn]

^ But for us wussy LA folk 60 degree highs are cause for coats and scarfs

 

See everyone at WCB in the am!

[EscapeFromKryptonBOI]

If you want to see me in 12 hours, look for a 16 year old wearing a thermal and shorts walking with a black kid.

 

Also if it helps, I just got a blemish on my cheek from my stressful school weeks.

 

Hope to see TPRtians there!

[robbalvey]

^ So we'll look for a freshly blemished kid wearing a thermal and a black guy?

[EscapeFromKryptonBOI]

^Yep.

Don't worry, Im going to look for a large, aged man with a receding hair line.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

I'm packed and ready to go. See you guys there...if you see this guy V

Feel free to say hi, or punch me in the nose, depending on what your experience is with me

[DefinitiveDetour]

Oh man its here!!!!

Sorry I ask here because I can not find suitable topic. So my question is: the application to the phone and the six flags officially dead?
