robbalvey Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 Check it out! Here is this year's event shirt!
Skycoastin Steve Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 ^Very cool design! I love the "Take the Tunnel" especially!
the ghost Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 NICE!!!! Can I assume we'll all be yelling take the tunnel during every ride during terminator ert!
thrillgeek Posted March 5, 2010 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.
Mechanic Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Anyone can ride Canyon Blaster as far as I'm aware. Percy is a different story.
CreditCrazy Posted March 5, 2010 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.
robbalvey Posted March 5, 2010 Author 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.
Skycoastin Steve Posted March 5, 2010 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.
Mechanic Posted March 5, 2010 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.
rcdude Posted March 5, 2010 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?
rosscoe Posted March 5, 2010 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?
cgodsey Posted March 5, 2010 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.
SharkTums Posted March 5, 2010 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!!!!
thrillgeek Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Very funny Elissa. Actually it looks pretty rough from the vids I've seen. Poor KT.
robbalvey Posted March 5, 2010 Author 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? No, sorry. The T-Shirt is only for people attending the event. --Robb
Skycoastin Steve Posted March 5, 2010 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. That's promising news. Maximum height restrictions make me break out in a rash and twitch uncontrollably.
ebl Posted March 5, 2010 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
Sir Clinksalot Posted March 5, 2010 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
Skycoastin Steve Posted March 5, 2010 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.
austinlee Posted March 5, 2010 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.
CreditCrazy Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 As for Percy, you MUST be under 54" to ride it. No exceptions. Not even during West Coast Bash, sorry. Wait... http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=41995&start=2430 (scroll down)
ebl Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 ^ No offense to Big Mike, but how was he able to ride Percy's Railway Eric
Skycoastin Steve Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 ^He blinded the ride ops with his shiny head? Edit: Woohoo 500th post!
WFChris Posted March 5, 2010 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.
