Photo TR: West Coast Bash 2007!

[GMAN962]

We weren't able to make it to the party, but we had a sort of "party" of our own, the night before.

 

Okay, onto the photos!

Note: the faces with the yellow smiles were because they didn't want to be on the internet. Thus, they are censored.

 

Part I: The Party

 

What did we do? We played the drums, played computer games,

 

Played the Wii and Xbox 360

 

And....

 

Guitar Hero!

 

We ended up going to bed pretty late...and we had to get up at 5:30 in the morning...that's not a good thing.

 

Part II: West Coast Bash!

 

Yeah...we left pretty early! It was almost like night when we left! Nobody was on the road, too! (Yes, that's a good thing)

 

Then we get to SFMM. (No pictures of registration)

 

We rode Tatsu two or three times, first.

 

Then we rode Viper...(No pictures)

 

Then, I FINALLY got to ride X!

 

Overall, I loved the ride. The only real problem with the ride, IMO is that it slams your head into the back of the seat over and over. I rode four or five times. Not sure exactly, but I got a few rides on each side. It's now one of my favorites! I saw Mike there, but he left right when I went to the side that he was on.

 

Group Photo at X! I'm the guy in the white TPR shirt, all the way to the left. My brother is the one in the TPR hoodie. A lot of you probably saw us a lot throughout the park.

 

Then we rode Tatsu a few more times, and ran over to Riddler.

 

Ninja's looking great! We went over to ride it later in the day...but it wasn't open, so we sadly did not ride.

 

Thrill shot was actually running today!

 

GO GO GO GO GO!!!! GET TO RIDDLER!

 

We rode Riddler's first train of the day. still that great ride that it's always been! I got my first front row ride on that ride, too!

 

I...AM...BATMAN!

 

Psyclone's trains are going to have an autopsy...it may lead to the cause of death for Psyclone!

 

M&M vending machines!

 

Then we rode Sparta! I mean Goliath...

 

Goliath was stopped on the lift when we came...Ryan and Jahan were somewhere in front of us in line. The next train...unlike us...we had about a 3 train wait...I think.

 

OMG GEEKY COASTER SHOT! (Like the rest of them...)

 

We rode what? SUPERMAN!

 

*Insert launch sounds here* "Are you okay in there?"

 

"OMG...look at me; the super cool Sky Tower, you're not allowed to ride me!"

 

Okay SFMM, see you next time! (We're waiting to get picked up...)

 

 

All on all, I had a GREAT time. I hope we can go again next year. Next time, we'll have to travel with Robb, and the group!

 

A giant thanks to Robb, Elissa, Chris, and anybody else who participated in the event! You guys are awesome.

 

Hopefully see you guys again sometime!

 

Thanks for reading!

Cool TR, looks like it was a great time. I am so going to go next time, no excuses.

^You should come! It's really worth it. The three most popular rides were open with little to NO line for 2 hours. They also grow in line size a lot, fast. So once you're done, you just go to the back of the park, and get everything else. It's perfect! Plus, $22.50 tickets are a steal if you don't have a season pass!

Robb, I was the guy that said "Hey Robb." as you were walking in to the registration area. (If you remember me)

Jahan, I was the guy that said "Jahan! Hey!" as you were walking out of X.

Ryan, I was the guy running through the exit for Tatsu, put my fist out, and you pounded it.

I saw coasterjunkie, and Token Yankee guy.

I think I saw Brent, not sure.

 

No offense dude, but all the people you listed above are just the same as you and me. Were just people that post on the boards and enjoy just about everything we read and see. Stop and just say "Hi" Introduce your yourself. The better we ALL get to know each other; stronger communities were forming here.

 

STOP THE ENTIRE FAN BOY BS!!!

 

Thanks!!! And Hi!

[GMAN962]

^I personally don't think I'm being a "fanboy". I didn't have time to stop, introduce myself, and talk to them. They were on their way somewhere, and I was on my way somewhere. Others were obviously busy, and I wasn't sure if they were the people that I thought they were. I'm not being shy about it. I never said they were super special either. They're just people that I recognized.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's ANYTHING fanboyish, or wrong with what I said. I'm just saying who I saw, and recognized.

Yeah, West Coast Bash was awesome!

 

X is now my favorite coaster of all-time, and the whole trip was just plain fun... I'll definitely try to go again next time!
