robbalvey Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 If you are coming from LAX on an early Sunday morning I would say you should leave your hotel by 6:30 to make it to the park between 7:30 & 7:45. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gisco Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 That is a Sunday. And a Sunday that just happens to be daylight savings time. All the families will be rushing out of the house thinking their late for church only to arrive an hour early. Best to err on the way of caution. Guy, you need a leason in telling time. It is spring forward in the Spring and fall back in the Fall. So people are not going to be early to church they are going to be late or they are going to miss ERT. If you don't set your clock ahead and show up at 8:15 it will really be 9:15 and your SOL. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 While I am not going to give away any details, I am told that there will be five, that's right *FIVE* behind the scenes tours for everyone doing the full day of West Coast Bash. See you on Sunday! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 I do want to squash a couple of rumors. While there will be an "ERT Suprise" announced at the Q&A session, that surprise is *NOT* X2 or Goliath Jr. Trust me, it will be a lot of fun! I'm really hoping that won't dissapoint anyone considering everything that the park is doing for the event. But X2 is not ready for public riders, and adults cannot ride Goliath Jr per the manufactuerer's spec. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking forward to riding an almost done X2. But I'm sure that whatever the surprise is, it'll definitely be worth it! Oh please let it be one of the new and fresh dirt piles!

Or Tatsu with the Batman trains. That would be cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 ^ I would not expect anything that is "outside" of the normal operations. ^^ I'm bummed that you would say it's 'too bad' because I think the park is doing quite a lot for us at the event. To expect a to ride something in March that won't be open to the public until the end of May I think is a bit unrealistic. They didn't have to go all out and do all this other cool stuff for us, but they are! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkymn Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I'm for whatever happens. It looks like it will be great and they are definitely giving us a lot! I think the people who are "too bad" maybe are like me, it's too bad that I'm coming from MN and won't get to ride X2, but that sure isn't stopping me from coming and being overjoyed at all that's going to happen! I don't think there's anyone that doesn't really appreciate and look forward to all that's going to happen. We all knew X2 wouldn't be ready for this up front.

PURE Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Anyone who's bummed that X2 isn't going to be open for WCB has nobody to blame but themselves, because thinking it'd be open just for us is just setting up for disappointment. Nobody who is in charge of the event mentioned or even brought up the chance that it'd be open. Think about it, even though we hear about theme park news before anyone else because this site is centralized towards the topic, we are still part of the GP. We will be, just like the GP, some of the last people to get on X2. I don't even care that X2 isn't going to be open, because I assumed before I even signed up that it wouldn't be. With all the sweet stuff that's going to be going on around the park during the day (FIVE behind the scenes tours?! Unheard of!), X2 really is the last thing on my mind. Or Tatsu with the Batman trains. That would be cool too. I would actually prefer that over Goliath with no MCBR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 ^ It's on the flyer: Q: How can I get the discounted $18.50 one-day park admission ticket?A: You may either call in advance to Magic Mountains group sales at 661-255-4500 or you may purchase a ticket the day of the event by arriving between 8:00am and 8:30am on Sunday, March 9th. --Robb "I just printed up your name badge!"

PeoplemoverMatt Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 If one of those backstage tours is about X2, that'll be better than riding it IMHO. I guess I'm just that much of a coaster junkie.

RIP Psyclone Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Stupid question: I registered for myself and two guests, but I didn't have to submit their names, did I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 ^ If you submitted their names, I will print their names on the badges, if not, they will have blank badges they can write them in on. It wasn't manadatory to give me their names, more of a 'cosmetic' thing. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
