jdcoffeytime Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 This is going to be the event of the year! Im so excited to go to another event with TPR and friends! Thank you so much for all the great work you do!
TheRealTinkerbell Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Even though last years weather was quite weird it seriously didn't stop anyone from having a good time. We were all cold, and some of us soaked because we didn't bring an umbrella, but I'm sure that everyone had an amazing time! I know I did, even though when it started hailing, I looked up like an idiot and a huge piece of hail hit my eyeball! The good thing about rain in CA is that's it's usually not followed by or accompanied with thunder and lightning like Midwest storms. I remember working at Worlds of Fun and them closing almost all the rides because of the rain or lightning. Luckily I don't recall them closing a ride down at MM. Anyone know if they do that at SFMM??
Jhcbiinoc Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 ^WCB 2009 was great despite the weather; I remember how it looked when I headed over from the hotel to the park and wondering how it would all pan out. Everyone was still in good spirits, and Neal was even standing up there with the microphone in the pouring rain and I thought to myself, "Now that's dedication!" Â Just a few hours later, I was enjoying ERT on X2 and Tatsu as the sun came out, and it turned out to be a beautiful day (although I think I nearly got frostbite from some of those night rides on Goliath, Tatsu, Scream and Viper, it was still a blast!) Â In re the two parks this year-this is awesome news! After the nightmare day I had at work today (including finding out my paycheck bounced ), this announcement made my day. I was wondering how you were going to top WCB the past two years, and this definitely does it. Â Solace and WCB weekend has been my one weekend out of the year when I shut down the computer, get away from home, try not to think about work and have a great time both riding coasters and hanging out with a great group of people. The past few years Solace has been waning a bit, and to see a day at KBF become a part of what has already been a great event is a really good thing. Â Really looking forward to this one!
mcjaco 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.  It's about the same on American and United too.....if you're closer to O'Hare.
ShannonSomerville Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I told my boyfriend about it yesterday. At this point,we're still deciding about it. Thanks for the info.
Mechanic Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Awesome news! A second day at Knott's is some pretty sweet icing on the cake. Looking forward to all the details when they become available.
derwood Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 This is great! Â 2009 was a blast...2010 sounds like it will be over the top! Â Â Â daron
Moose Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Flights aren't bad, now I just need to look at hotels etc, but this event looks so epic, I may have to venture out to the left coast.
gisco Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 My wife is going to kill me. That will be the third weekend in a row I won't be home. Oh well!
Skycoastin Steve Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Although I know details for 2010 haven't been released yet, what's the usual price tag for WCB? Thinking pretty seriously about heading out there, found some ridiculously cheap flights.
robbalvey Posted December 10, 2009 Author Posted December 10, 2009 While I really hate to give away any pricing details before we have things set in stone, I do see that a lot of people are looking to come in from out of state so I'll give a ball park. Â West Coast Bash 2009 was $30 per person for Six Flags Magic Mountain. I have no idea if we'll be able to get the same price again this year. We are still working that out. Â I would like this event to come in at no more than $40 per park. It's a little bit more expensive than last year, but we are also doing more this year. Â Also If you do NOT have a season pass for the parks it might be a bit more. Â So I would say that $40 each park, with a Six Flags and Cedar Fair season pass is a good "worst case scenario", but please don't quote me on that. Â If it turns out to be more money, it's because we are getting more for the event. Â Hope this helps. Â --Robb
Skycoastin Steve Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 ^That's perfect. Just about what I was expecting, and I'll have season passes for both chains. Thanks!
disney4me2001 Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 YES! WCB (the SFMM day) is on my birthday! I've never been able to make it to a Bash, but I'll be there this year!
the ghost Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I am such a nerd. This is the first date added to my family 2010 calednar. Me and my two friends(one being rchpfan1 but he hardly posts here) are looking forward to the events.
COASTAH FREAK Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 ^ I already entered it in my iphone calendar
ebl Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I believe WCB was $30 if you had a Six Flags season pass. One heck of a deal considering what you got. And I expect that whatever the fee is this time will also be well worth what you get in return. Â Eric
CosmicJester Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 *gasps, clutches the pearls* Â Â Magic Mountain and Knott's? Count me in! I've always considered Knott's my home park despite it being over 300 miles away. Last year was some of the most fun I've had at a theme park. And as a bonus for me, it's close enough to my birthday that I'll count it as festivities. Might even do like I did last year and hit Disneyland for a couple days (oooo world of color). And while I'm over there I really should hit Tiki-Ti... and... and... and... Â I'm mildly curious, would any Arizonans care to caravan over there?
Mechanic Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 The experience you'll have at a TPR event will leave you feeling that you got WAY more than your money's worth. I don't usually avail myself to all the different things they have going on and I still feel that I get great value for the money spent. The ERT by itself is more than worth the price.
redfoot12 Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Woo-hoo! Can't wait to make it out there!
statchmoe Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 So, maybe this year, I will get a ticket like usual and NOT cancel it at the last moment... and then all of you can rejoice with much glee at seeing me again!!!! Ah!! Who I am I kidding, like any of you give a crap! Oh well, I can go many places where people don't give a crap if I am there or not, so no BIG LOSS! Â ...any of you remember Spidey? Maybe you'd rather he come instead... Â Ron
iZak Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Well, I think we'll actually come out for this one too...
The Bebes Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 This news makes me all tingly in my tummy! Â The Bebes will be there!!
SuperShawn Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 This is just another reason I'm ready for the 2009 to be over with. Can't wait for this event, something tells me this is going to be even better than WCB 2009.
