SanDiegoAl Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Lol! Awesome news! My son was just asking me if any information was posted yet. Had a super time last year, and look forward again to this terrific event this year! Thanks again to both sites for putting this together as well as Magic Mountain for their awesome hospitality.
Crazy4Coasters! Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Great to know the date has been set. Thanks for keeping us up to date Robb
wildmouser Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Wow - must've been a bit psychic today! - I was thinking just when this event's date would be announced for sure. Thanks Robb. Just hope Knott's Winter Solace event is the day before this (Saturday, March 21). Anyone know when/if they set their date in stone? (I've heard they sometimes alter it without much notice) I did both these events a few years ago and loved them, despite the rather cold weather. It's freezing (for a change, actually) in England at the moment, so maybe Spring on the SoCal side will be warmer this year. I hope to attend both these events this year and will probably book a nine day trip to cover two weekends, just in case Knott's move their weekend suddenly. Martin
Cameron Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Wow .. how did you know that I was already planing to be in CA that weekend, on my way back to Australia?! Cameron.
gisco Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Solace is on Knott's calendar for the 20-21 of March. According to an e-mail from ACE this is a change. They originally planned for earlier in March but there was a conflict.
Rockabilly1990 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Sweet! I'm in San Diego for business the week before, and LA the week after! I guess I know what I'll be doing between the two!
cgodsey Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 http://www.knotts.com/park/calendar/index.asp Solace is definitely the Friday and Saturday before.. See you guys at the bash! Chris
nagro5 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Well, I most likely won't be going. I'm looking forward to the TR to see what I missed though. By the way, HAPPY B-DAY ROBB! It may suck to get older, but at least you're not as old as Jeff Johnson.
X2coasterfreak Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Yes! Finally West Coast Bash I have been really excited about it since I saw the last TR.Definetly plan on going. By the way Happy B-day Robb!
Ewan Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH !!!!! I am sure that someone is out to get me. My partner and I always try and schedule a trip to California in March and I have missed the West coast Bash every time!!!!! Hope fully next year I will get there. Hope every one has a great time from a very jealous scotsman.
Mechanic Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Thanks for the announcement. I can't wait to get back to SFMM for WCB '09.
ebl Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Most likely, I'll be there. Except for losing my camera, I had a good time last year. This was a great event and I regret not going to earlier ones. Eric
sixflagsmagicmountain Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Sweet, WCB has gotten better and better every year. I can't wait, I've been looking forward to it for a year. Definitely my favorite event of the year. Can't wait to see everyone there again!
UberBeavis Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Absolutely awesome news! Last year was far beyond what I expected it would be.
JoshAbelsonXiii Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Yay! I've been looking forward to this since last year!! I can't wait!
ukpete Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 right now i have to look for flights and accomodation sharpish then! hopefully will make it out there and meets some TPR peeps for the first time.
dino Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 WCB date announced... * Does a little happy dance *
eBen Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 right now i have to look for flights and accomodation sharpish then! For you or anyone else considering coming from the UK, British airways has flights from London to Los Angeles for £170 each way, but these price will go up after 27th January. Tempting isn't it..... Is there a link to Knotts do as well to help justify the lengthy travel? (although looking at last years MM WCB that could be enough)
ukpete Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 that is mighty cheap on the flights front. think i'd try to work in winter solace as well if I can. have to find car hire and accomodation too. last time I went to LA used public transport to everywhere.
Aughra Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I think I am finally going to be able to make this one. I haven;t been to six flags in so long I am looking forward to it!
rolercstrluvr Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 ^ Same here, i've always wanted to go to this. Looks like my friend and i could just do a road trip down there from San Jose.
joojoo09 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Im looking forward to WCB this year, last year was amazing! Cant wait!!
ShannonSomerville Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 My boyfriend and his two buddies always go to WCB. This will be my first one ever. Looking forward to see what's happening. We're planning to come out there in March,anyway.
