FitchCoaster Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Yay, I've been waiting for this to be announced! After hearing how last year's event was so great, and finally experiencing a TPR event for myself for the first time (Termination Day), I knew I'd have to make it out to WCB 2010. I'll be there for sure!
Jojo19799 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Awesome news! I'll be looking into this if I can drag someone along. You can drag me along! I've been wanting to attend WCB and now I have my chance.
Scream162 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Hopefully this means the end of Winter Coaster Solace! Nope! This is a different event than Solace. From what I understand Solace is still happening in April of this year, but I think it's also in conjunction with an annual ACE conference. IMO, Solace is more geared to a "roller coaster event" and West Coast Bash is more of a "theme park event." We are hoping to offer some things that have never been done at Solace before. --Robb What I meant was, hopefully this event will be so awesome that Knotts will no longer have WCS after 2010.
atem122 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I was wondering how you'd manage to improve WCB this year, little did I know those plans would involve adding a whole other park!
cgodsey Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Knotts moving Solace really opened up the opportunity to add it to the event. I really like having the event in March so those in very cold areas can enjoy some ERT to help beat the winter blues and we honestly didn't want to link it with what ACE is doing in April.
socalMAN123 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 With a TPR event being held at Knott's, I actually have an excuse to go back there! The lineup sounds great this year, I'm super duper stoked. ---Brent
Crazy4Coasters! Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 ^ It will be good seeing you again Brent! By the way I think you just made Snoopy cry after that stingy remark!
metrock Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Every year Bash gets better for sure. I mean, you can't beat having an entire park open for night ERT. The only downside of back to back days - I'll be dead on Monday. ^ You're 18 years old! If I were you, I'd get new parents! LMAO!! Truth! Sadly ....
TheRealTinkerbell Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Bahaha Brent, I heart thee! I like that you guys are still keeping it in March. I know that last year and I believe the year before Solace was the day before WCB(right?). Kind of separating the events dates should turn out really nicely! Rain or Shine, I can't wait!
ZeroG001 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I've been waiting for this announcement since the last WCB. WCB 2010 will be my first one, and I'm so stoked that SFMM is on a Saturday this year instead of Sunday! Now I'll be able to stay for the night ERT if I go, too!
cgodsey Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I've been waiting for this announcement since the last WCB. WCB 2010 will be my first one, and I'm so stoked that SFMM is on a Saturday this year instead of Sunday! Now I'll be able to stay for the night ERT if I go, too! This is the central reason why we moved MM to Saturday. So many people miss out on the night ERT and its awesomeness!
rcdude Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 This sounds like a pretty fun event, and I really hope I'll be able to go to one, if not both days. It mainly depends on the price and whether or not Xcelerator will be open since I'll have school that Monday and don't want to be too tired. If one day is an option, there is a 90% chance I'll be going on the Six Flags Magic Mountain day.
rolercstrluvr Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Seeing this just made my day. I'll be driving myself down there to stay for both days.
RCFreak Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Awesome news, this is great that you guys are expanding this every year it seems. I'm glad TPR got involved with this event and it's grown so much. Can't wait to see how much of a deal this will end up being when final pricing comes out.
Scarecrow513 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Round trip air fare from Chicago to LAX on Southwest $333.20 per person tax included. A get-away to sunny California in March should be worth it! Unless tragedy strikes before then, count me in.
stingrock23 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Finally I'll be able to hit Magic Mountain. I've been waiting a long time for this.
TheRealTinkerbell Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 ^^ I would like to point out that at this point California's weather is completely unpredictable. WCB 2008 was sunny and quite hot, and then WCB 2009 was raining and at a point there was HAIL! I wouldn't be surprised if this year there's like...wait...I'm not even going to finish because I don't want to jix it! But yeah, not ALWAYS sunny!
robbalvey Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 ^ Fortunately the rain let up before ERT even began! We did have our 5 minute surprise hail storm later in the day though. That was kind of creepy! --Robb
larrygator Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 ^^I'm pretty sure someone from the Midwest can handle the harsh weather conditions in California in March. Even during a storm it is sunnier in Southern California than a typical day in the Midwest or Northeast at this time in the year. I know you were only pointing out that it may not be sunny (at least to a Californian) but I like mocking the weakness of Californians regarding weather.
Calicoasters Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 This is the best news I've read all year!
X2coasterfreak Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 WCB is became a tradition for me back in March. Now it continues to 2010 with an even beter line up! I am stoked for this event, it is going to be great!
cedarpointfangirl Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Wow. I am really excited. I have never been to Knotts. This is such good news!!
Hercules Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I know you were only pointing out that it may not be sunny (at least to a Californian) but I like mocking the weakness of Californians regarding weather. Show me March California weather all year and I am one happy little boy!
SharkTums Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I remember last year pulling into the park with KT for lunch and it just started hailing...we sat in the car for about 5 minutes, I called Robb, we both laughed and then the sun came out and it was beautiful the rest of the day! March has always been 'odd' weather in SoCal, but SoCal is an odd place so it kind of makes sense! I'm sure we'll have a great time this year whether it be rain, sleet, snow, or sun!
ebl Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 It's great that Knott's was added to the lineup, and makes for a complete weekend of great theme park fun. This may be the best Bash yet. Eric
