BroncoBob Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I have been looking forward to this event since i heard about it. I did not think that X2 was going to be available. I'm not even that big a fan of of X to begin with. I just think that its great that Magic Mountain is going along with all of this, and is willing to go all out for such an event. I have been lurking around, and had not posted until now, but I can see that a lot of hard work is going into this. I, and my group that is coming up to the park, are really, really excited about Sunday. All i had to do to sell them was that just tell them about the ERT, both morning and night, and they were there. All the other stuff that is planned just seems like an extra added bonus. If anything, I have become fascinated with the opportunity to see backstage at the park. I think that is going to be a real highlight, especially after looking at all the pictures from the TPR coaster video premier. Anyway, that is just my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBob Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Count me among those who has not seen anything disappointing at all.....you guys are doing a lot for this event and I think it will definitely be one to remember! I completely agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PURE Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I just called to order tickets, and they told me that we'd have to get them on Sunday morning and they'd have them at the registration table. Sounds like typical SFMM operations (different answers for everything). So the tickets aren't going to be at will call? Robb I think you're worrying too much. All the stuff people are disappointed about will be mundane after the event because of everything that's going on. Tatsu media day was amazing and there was nothing more than that going on then. This is going to have so much more, the day will take care of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 In a rare serious moment, I just want to say that surprise or no surprise, we're getting one hell of an event. This will be a day to enjoy and remember for years to come. SFMM doesn't have to do this, but they are anyway. I really hope that Jay, Tim, and everyone else have to spend the entire week doing nothing but reading all of the e-mails thanking them that should come from each person who attends. Heck, even Robb and Chris deserve them, too, for putting this on. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelydr Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I really wish I could be in Valencia this weekend. It sounds like such an amazing time. It's great what you and the thrillride people help to put together, especially for only $20 . Hopefully WCB '09 I'll be there. I hope everyone has fun!

socalMAN123 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 ^^ I agree 100% with you there Eric. I wouldn't care if we got any surprises or not, this would be one hell of an event just because of the people attending! Seriously Robb, don't feel bad because people are complaining, I really do think they will forget everything they said and it will turn out to be a huge success. I can't wait for Sunday! ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 My family and I have been really excited ever since the first email that Robb sent out. Just ERT, meals and a t-shirt are worth WAY more than the $20 registration fee. The backstage tours, presentations, and the surprise(s) (whatever it/they may be) are icing on top of an already awesome looking cake. We have literally been counting the days this week, waiting for the weekend so we can be on our way. I can't even imagine how much work has gone into this event and we're very grateful for all of it from everyone involved. We're looking forward to a great event and some great fun.

UberBeavis Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 This would be a great event, even if there weren't any surprises. Thank you very much Chris, Robb, Elissa, everybody else who helped set this up, and a very big thanks to the team at SFMM for their support.

dino Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Me and my brother are excited about sunday, although I think I'm a bit more excited than him. It's the only reason that I would be willing to get up early on a weekend. I find it cool that I'll actually be there though, since I would typically read event trip reports on the site and never really thought I would attend one. see you sunday.

rcrider Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Gotta let out the Charlie Brown post-football "AAUGH!" First my "coaster convert" friends couldn't make it, which was still ok because it's an event worth going to even if solo, and now as of last night, with my ticket and registration in hand, BAM..... I have the FLU! Yes, the flu, complete with fever, chills, headaches, coughing, sneezing, and general grossness that comes with it (beware if someone you know has these symptoms!). Considering this would have been my first TPR event, it probably isn't a good idea I introduce myself as Sicky McCoughsalot, and spread the wealth. So I will, with great difficulty, have to pass on the bash. Of all weekends to get the flu it had to be this one! Robb/Elissa, any chance of still getting the T-shirt or something small for paying but missing the bash? Otherwise I suppose I'll wait until the next great TPR event for any perks to come along. I'd offer my ticket and registration to anyone interested but it's a little late and virus-ridden at the moment. Oh well, have fun guys. Will have to meet everyone next time. Drink lots of water, wash your hands often, get plenty of rest tonight (even with an hour lost), and try to stay healthy! And curse you, flu shot, for leading me on!

sfmmfreak101 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'm looking forward to meeting everyone tomorrow. I have officially been given the role of West Coast Correspondent over at coasterforce so I'll be sure to get many great pics. I hope to see everyone tomorrow!

RIP Psyclone Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I just called to order tickets, and they told me that we'd have to get them on Sunday morning and they'd have them at the registration table. So there's no way to pre order the $18.50 general admission tickets, we just have to buy them tomorrow, at a separate location from the WCB check in where we'll pay the $20.

PURE Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Alright, well I thought I'd be there before 8 to be able to pay for registration and the park tickets but it looks like that's not going to be happening, it may be after 9:15. Is there a way to just pay now, under my previously registered name? Because I know that I'm going to be late I have to pre-pay for the event, but I don't want to make another order under my name. Or should I just go to the store and make another registration and pay that way? This one was directed at Robb or Elissa, or if someone else knows a way lemme know. Also, will it be a problem if I pay tonight before eleven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 ^ Yes, you may pay now via paypal - account name "store@themeparkreview.com" ^^ Well, hopefully it's only a 24hr flu and you'll feel better later tonight or early tomorrow? If not, email me and if we still have the shrits left you may take your pick of what sized are remaining. Sorry you can't make it! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy88 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I'm so happy WCB is tomorrow! I can't wait to see everyone in 11 hours! ----Antonio P.S. Robb, I've already changed my clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
