Photo TR: West Coast Bash 2007

[sixflagsmagicmountain]

Well, here's my really long Trip Report. I had a great time hanging out with everyone from Theme Park Review. Okay, here's the pictures:

 

Robb was running. I don't remember why.

 

I was very happy to see Deja Vu, and ONLY Deja Vu.

 

Apparently, so was Robb.

 

This is the last little reminder of Psyclone.

 

And Robb's still happy as ever.

 

I'm really glad that Thrill Shot is operating again. Maybe I'll actually ride it someday.

 

So, we all walked over to Riddler's, where Jahan and Ryan decided to bust a move to the music in the queue.

 

We all walked up the hill, because SOMEONE just HAD to get their left side of superman credit.

 

Robb took Ryan's hat again. This time he put it down his pants!

 

Ryan decided to bite him, and from the looks of it, grab his crotch as well.

 

Everyone waiting for Superman.

 

Time to ride.

 

So we went on Superman, but upon returning to the station, our train became misaligned, we had to wait for maintenance to come fix it and release us from the train. So to pass the time, we played some coaster trivia. I don't really remember how long we were stuck, but I think it was just like 6 or 7 minutes, maybe less.

 

After Superman, we decided to check out Ninja, only to find that it wouldn't open for another 20 minutes, so we decided to take Orient Express, and hit Revolution.

 

On the way to Revolution, Robb decided Ryan's hat needed a good cleaning in the Revolution water.

 

We decided against going on Revolution, for obvious reasons.

 

We decided to make our way over to Goliath.

 

They seem to be doing a LOT to Log Jammer.

 

Yeah, um, not much to say here.

 

Robb decided to call Lou.

 

Robb, on the phone with Lou, and posing next to the, well, you get the idea.

 

We made it to Goliath, Ryan and Jahan decided they didn't want to hang out with us in the back.

 

So, we sat in line without moving for a good 8-10 minutes, they were doing something to the train, so we went to eat lunch at the Mooseburger.

 

Ryan pointed out that for some reason, they use Hunt's Ketchup, and they use Heinz mustard. This confused him.

 

Jahan looks kinda like he just pooped his pants.

 

Ryan bent his antlers.

 

Ryan compares his to Jahan's. Poor Jahan just can't catch a break.

 

They decided to get creative with the pickles.

 

After lunch, Robb left to go get ready for the party. The rest of us decided to go hit Colossus, and SCREAM!.

 

Don't look so excited.

 

So after SCREAM!, Ryan and Jahan decided to leave so they could help set up for the party. There were only like 4 of us left now. So I decided I wanted to go in the arcade for a little while.

And I found this:

It's a little dark, but there was an employee actually SLEEPING on the job, right in the middle of the arcade, he was all propped up against the arcade machine just snoozing away. Amazing.

 

We headed up the hill to get on the freshly painted Ninja, since it was closed earlier. It looks SO nice!!!

 

So we were pretty tired by this point, so we decided to leave. I'll end the Magic Mountain section of the TR with this nice picture of Tatsu.

 

So I had more pictures from the party, but I don't know what happened to them, I only have a few now, So I'll post them.

 

Theme Park Review CAKE!!!

 

Dan schools everyone in how to play pool.

 

So they had these little rice crispy treat bear shaped things to celebrate Kidtums.

 

Some of the entries for the photo contest.

 

Robb modeled the new and improved TPR Bag-o-Crap for everyone, which is now, technically, a TPR Backpack-o-Crap.

 

Well, that wraps up my Photo TR. Thanks for reading. I know, it was pretty long, I took more pictures than I thought I did. Anyway Thanks To Robb and Elissa, and all the people from Ride World that put this event together, I had a great time and I can't wait for the next TPR meet. And congratulations again on Kidtums!

LOL at the Ryan's hat over the fence photo. And "staged" as that picture was, it was still so funny as a reminder of events that once occured!

 

Great TR!

^Jahan, look at it this way, you now have a new 'low' to aspire to!

 

Great TR!

[kennywood!007]

Haha, great TR! Kept me laughing the whole time!

[dino]

Nice TR. That picture of the employee sleeping just had me bawling..!

[towerhill]

Man that is not right!!!

Josh you should have at least given me credit for that pic of the guy sleeping on the machine in the corner, because if it wasn't for me pointing it out, then you would have never had it!!

[sixflagsmagicmountain]

I'm sure I would've noticed anyway. I walked back there before we left.

So, no credit for you.

[towerhill]

Yeah but he had left by then remember!!

You wanted a better pic but he was gone!

So pooy() on you!! I do get the credit!!
