RCFreak Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 This already sounds WAY better then the DVD Release party last weekend. And I can guarantee this will be so freaking awesome, I can't wait!!
BeatleBen Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Hmmm, I might have to rethink attending this event. It's starting to grab my interest!
24 Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 I'll be there for sure. Looks much better than last week.
tigerxeyez Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Lookin forward to it! Will we be having "Breakfast with Bugs"?! lol
Zen Coaster Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 I wanted a US visit this year (even just to West Coast) so this sounds like a great time to head over there... plus, I miss Tatsu
jdthomas Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 My entire team and I are looking forward to hosting West Coast Bash on Sunday, March 9th! See you there! Jay
coasterjunkie91350 Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Hey R&E I registered last night but have not got my email for the print out im guessing you guys have not gone thru them yet
robbalvey Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 ^ I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about. The email is automatically generated through the store. I see that your registration came in. The only reason why you didn't get the email is if it either: 1. Went to your spam folder or 2. You made a typo in your email address. PM me what your email address should be and I'll let you know if that was correct or not. --Robb
PURE Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 My entire team and I are looking forward to hosting West Coast Bash on Sunday, March 9th! See you there! Jay Okay Manic Monte already said it in the MM thread, but I wanted to reitorate. Jay, Its freakin AWESOME that you're coming to the TPR threads and filling us in and settling questions about the park that may arise here or there. Its really an honor to know that you're scanning the threads and reading our ideas about all things theme parks. I'm sure as more people on here find out about your presence, they're gonna be stoked as well. Above all, I hope everyone on here treats you with the utmost respect when it comes to asking questions or providing input. This is a great having you around! I'll be at West Coast Bash, ERT sounds booomb!
coasterjunkie91350 Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 I got one ? ''Is anyone showing up early''? we can meet up for breakfest at wendys just pm me and let me know so we can all walk up to the park together.
tigerxeyez Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Do you we have an estimated time for breakfast?
SharkTums Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 ^Breakfast will be available during Morning ERT.
Erik Johnson Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Yeah this is going to be a great event. Last year was a lot of fun, and that was just the regular normal morning ERT session. This is going to be the event of the year. See you all in a little over a month.
sixflagsguy5 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 This event sounds awesome. Six Flags Magic Mountain has really stepped it up with these events. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend this one.
rider-x Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Ill be making my first trip out to Cali for this one. Does anyone know of any good hotels to stay at. Im really looking forward to meeting everyone.
SharkTums Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Hotels at the SFMM Exit: (From most to least expensive) Hyatt Hilton Garden Inn Holiday Inn Express Best Western There are also several hotels at the Lyons/Pico Canyon exit about 4 miles south. Do NOT stay in Sylmar. If you need something cheaper than these two exits you can try Castaic (about 10 miles north of SFMM) but you will get what you pay for. Our friends and family have always had good luck with priceline and hotwire.
rider-x Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Thanks for the 411. My company has discounts at some of these Hotels.
costa425 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 since I am 14 is their an age limit... Is it also ok if i bring some of my friends or do we need a parent to come (so would that mean it would be $40 if a parent has to come)
Aaronkv Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Me and a friend will be attending, my first enthusiast event other than the Xcelerator and Silver bullet auctions I participated at Knott's in if you count those. Very excited about this event, cant wait to meet some people from here. *first post from me*
robbalvey Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 since I am 14 is their an age limit... Is it also ok if i bring some of my friends or do we need a parent to come (so would that mean it would be $40 if a parent has to come) There isn't an age limit. If you are a responsible 14 year old and your parents trust you will be ok at the park on your own, then you are more than welcome to attend the event! --Robb
