Skycoastin Steve Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 ^Very cool design! I love the "Take the Tunnel" especially! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 NICE!!!! Can I assume we'll all be yelling take the tunnel during every ride during terminator ert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillgeek Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I'm totally loving the shirt! I have a quick general question about WCB. Will we be able to get the coaster credits (Canyon Blaster and Percy's) we normally would have a hard time getting if we werent with TPR? I'm just curious because I've seen all the credit whore pics and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Anyone can ride Canyon Blaster as far as I'm aware. Percy is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreditCrazy Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I guess Knott's Berry Farm's TAKE THE TUNNEL will have to be on Pony Express. Just isn't the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 ^ That is correct. You do not need a child to ride Canyon Blaster. Anyone can ride it. As for Percy, you MUST be under 54" to ride it. No exceptions. Not even during West Coast Bash, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 ^What if we hold the general manager hostage with squirting mustard bottles? Everyone knows those stains are hell to get out, I don't think he would want the hassle of buying a new shirt because he didn't let us get our kiddie credit. If all else fails, get a fake pistol and take John Candy hostage (even though he's dead), that seemed to work for the Griswolds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 That pistol wasn't fake. It was a BB pistol, and it could break the skin and cause a really bad infection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I have a quick general question about WCB. Will we be able to get the coaster credits (Canyon Blaster and Percy's) we normally would have a hard time getting if we werent with TPR? I'm just curious because I've seen all the credit whore pics and what not. That just reminded me of something. As far as I know, Knott's has a 69" maximum height restriction on Timberline Twister, but it is listed on the ERT schedule. Does this mean that they will not be enforcing this restriction during ERT, or will it only be for the shorter people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosscoe Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Robb, if I want the T-Shirt but due to distance unable to go to either bash. Will I be able to order one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgodsey Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 ^^In the past Solace events, it was open to everyone during ERT. So I assume it will be for WCB as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 If it makes you guys feel any better I can bring KT to the park and you can all watch her ride Percy OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!! Mwa ha ha!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillgeek Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Very funny Elissa. Actually it looks pretty rough from the vids I've seen. Poor KT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximum height restrictions make me break out in a rash and twitch uncontrollably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Since I'm 68" tall, I have only an inch to spare for riding Timberline Twister. But it's not really that much fun. I think I still have creases in my thighs from the lap bar. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublersides Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Awesome shirt design! Can't wait to get mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I'm so glad I rode both Percy's (when it was Clown Coaster) and Timberline Twister when I was younger. The last time I tried to fit in Timberline Twister at Solace was not pretty (I believe there are pictures floating around of that somewhere). EDIT: I found it. Trying for the back seat And the front seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 ^It should be an adventure for me if they let me try to squeeze on there. I was barely able to fit in Jr. Gemini last year, which was by far the tightest fit I've ever had on a coaster (well.....not including the love roller coaster ). I think I can manage though if they let me straddle the middle of the T bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinlee Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Last time I was at KBF in January I tried to ride Timberline Twister just because I had not been on it since my first visit to the park in 1983 and thought it might be fun to try it again. I was exactly at the maximum height but decided not to ride because when they tried to put down the lap bar I was completely squashed. The ride op said that if I straddled the T bar I would probably make it but I decided that the pain of being stapled like that in a tiny seat was not worth it on a kiddie coaster.

Skycoastin Steve Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 ^He blinded the ride ops with his shiny head? Edit: Woohoo 500th post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 ^ Please do not use Big Mike as an excuse to ride coasters you otherwise cannot ride. I was afraid something like this would eventually happen. Just be jealous of Mike and don't give the park a hard time!!!! Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
