Six Flags Enthuseast Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Wow! I REALLY hope I can get to WCB; night ERT looks awesome! I hope I can shoot for it next year if I can't attend this year.
Rcp123190 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Looking forward for this event again....Last years WCB was tight
Freefallbestrideever Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I'm game, rollercoasters at night are WAY better than during the day.
krazekiddd Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I've got the dates off for WCB! Now I just need to make sure I can get the flight. Â So far, round trip is $199 which isn't bad at all from all the way out east.
georgeriley15 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Last year, while my 3 year old daughter was waiting below at "Rapids Camp", Some Jack A.. who was on Tatsu with us decided to allow his teenage kids to cuss up a storm whilst riding Tatsu with us - Mom and Dad of the underlying Daughter mentioned above - and this was extremely disappointing. We "tailed" the "DAD" of these one or two deviant kids for a few minutes after riding to see if they got reprimanded at all for their extreme potty-mouth whilst on the ride. (They got nothing less than ENCOURAGEMENT afterwards - I might add...) Anyway, I hope that all the adult chaperones out there who plan on attending this year will discourage their kids from screaming obscenities at the tops of their lungs while cruising through the gee forces that are supposed to be enjoyable on the rides this year... You people with teenagers riding with you really need to jerk the choke collars once in a while... Okay, now that that's out of the way, kudos to the other 99.999% of the TPR'rs who behave appropriately on the annual outing. Thank you all for your mature and responsible behaviour. I just hope that some day it will become socially acceptable to publicly reprimand the 0.0001% of the public who make no attempt to repair the trash caused by the extreme few. Sorry for the crap talk but I just had to let it fly - in much the same way as the inconsiderate family that I had the displeasure of riding Tatsu with last year...may they not attend this year. ... On to the next poster and forget I ever said anything at all... (downer posts suck, you know)
ajinaz Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Last year, while my 3 year old daughter was waiting below at "Rapids Camp", Some Jack A.. who was on Tatsu with us decided to allow his teenage kids to cuss up a storm whilst riding Tatsu  Was this during ERT? If so, I'm really surprised that this happened with the group that attended the event last year. It really is a great family atmosphere. What a bummer that you found the one bad apple.

If he was a TPR member he should be banned from future TPR events. I personally would have said something to him like "I'll bet your really proud of your son using foul language around kids" and have told Robb also.

I personally would have said something to him like "I'll bet your really proud of your son using foul language around kids" and have told Robb also. Â Exactly. If you were able to follow them you could have at least got a look at their badges and posted a "review" of the behavior when you got home.
darklingscribe Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 I just checked my college schedule and it looks like this will be the first west coast bash I can attend. Looking forward to it and I'll see how many people from the bay area I can rope into driving down to LA with me. Â I just hope nothing will come up at work that will stop me from going.
georgeriley15 Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Yeah, I should've gotten a better look at their badges. We figured my daughter was too young to copycat their language yet, so we let 'em go after the bottom of the ramp. (Oh, and it was during morning ERT, about 20-30 min before general public came in.) Still though, you can't isolate your kids from the real world forever... especially at a place like SFMM where everybody's jaded to the entertainment industry's continuous portrayals of sex, drugs, smoking, intolerance, violence, selfishness, destruction, and yes—cursing.  Looking forward to this year's event, and next year's when the new "woodie" should be up and running.
SharkTums Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 ^Yeah I totally understand where you're coming from on all accounts. Â It sucks hearing stuff like that, but you also can't expect your children to be sheltered forever. KT is almost two and quite the talker, when Robb trips over something and says 'dammit' she repeats it. We then sit down and try to explain to her that it was wrong to say that and she shouldn't repeat it. Â We hang out at Theme Parks and with younger adults quite often so it's really going to be up to us personally to make sure she understands what's right and wrong...kind of like the parents of those kids cursing should have taught them at a young age!
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 ^How many credits has KT had? I know she had her first official credit on Orient Express, but what else has she gone on at SFMM? Just wondering...
SharkTums Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 She's actually been on 10 'true' coasters plus 3 Jeff Johnson Credits. (powereds, alpine coasters, etc.) Â She's currently allowed on two credits at SFMM, but I haven't put her on them yet. I'm waiting on Percy since she would have to ride by herself and that freaks me out a bit, and the other kiddie would be her biggest kiddie yet, so maybe we'll try it out at West Coast Bash!
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Soon enough, she'll be riding Riddlers @ X2 and loving them! (hopefully)
Rideslover Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Wow, I will be there but first i have to ask my friends to come with me. Â See you at the Six Flags Magic Mountain
BkkMan13 Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Cool, West Coast Bash is here! I live in So Cal so hopefully I can make it. Can I bring people with me though? Because, my mom is the only way I can get there.
ajinaz Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Cool, West Coast Bash is here! I live in So Cal so hopefully I can make it. Can I bring people with me though? This event is open to anyone I believe. (unless you have been banned I guess)
Wes Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 How much would this cost? Â We are still working out the details with the park
cgodsey Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 We are hoping to get the details finalized with the park this week.
Zoomerang Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Does anyone think that this years WCB will be better than last years?
Mechanic Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 It would be difficult to top last year's event, but we can certainly hope they try. If it's even half as good as last year, it'd still be awesome.
Incognito Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Well shoot! I was looking forward to going this year. Unfortunately, Uncle Sam calls. And I will be answering the call of duty by the time WCB takes place. Enjoy a couple of rides on Tatsu and X2 for me.
