FitchCoaster Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'm typing this right now sick as a dog, thanks to a nonstop WCB weekend. Under any other circumstance, this would suck big time. However, WCB 2010 was so worth it, and I'd do it again at this very moment if it was possible. This was me and Jaclyn's (hauntme23) first WCB. Our first TPR event was Termination Day and we were thoroughly impressed. We knew at that instant, we had to go to the next WCB. Fast forward a year and we're back at SFMM, but this time for WCB. I had high expectations going into the event, after reading numerous trip reports about last year's WCB. Little did I know that my already-high expectations would be exceeded. From the morning ERT to the night ERT (highlight of the entire weekend!), the whole day was incredible. We were pretty much treated like VIP's, being let into backstage areas of the park and whatnot. We got the X2 backstage tour, and I loved it! It was really cool seeing the wheel maintenance room and seeing X2 from a different vantage point. The presentation was both informative and entertaining (as was the Knott's presentation), and I appreciated the honesty in each of the answers. Night ERT was incredible. Colossus racing was definitely my favorite part of the day, tied with the night rides on Terminator (which are always fun). The SFMM day was so much fun. I saw some familiar faces throughout the day, but I couldn't for the life of me attach them to a screen name! So if you saw me, let me know! Also, shout out to The Bebes! We didn't chat, but we shared some Terminator night rides and a high-five, hahaha. "We took the silence!" You guys rock. Without further delay, here's some pictures from the SFMM day. Knott's day pictures up later! After 4 hours of sleep, waking up at 5AM and enduring a 2 hour drive from Lake Elsinore to Valencia, we're finally here at WCB 2010! Who needs coffee when you have X2 ERT in the morning? Terminator morning ERT was delicious. As you can see here. After morning ERT, we were treated to a backstage tour, which allowed for sexy photos like this one. ...Buddha? Mr. Six Dance Coaster track! More sexy photos. Failed to get the train in this one, but it's still pretty sexy. The backstage tour made Jaclyn really happy. When else can you get photos from this angle? Very rarely. One of my favorite photos from today. Batman loopage! Me and Jaclyn have never noticed this before. If you ever wanted to see three pigs stacked on top of each other, here you go. Thank god for this sign, we almost forgot what event we were at. Jumping for joy! Metro... such a shame. My favorite inversion on Batman. This. Ride. Is. EVIL. ...Porky however, is not. This is what we did trying to get out of the sun and waiting for the presentation. This, along with Twitter and Facebook. We decided to go up to the sky tower. I was very, very proud of this picture. Just ask Jaclyn, hahaha. A look over at Arrow Corner. This view is awesome. ...Buddha! "Awwww, Magic Mountain used to be so cute!" Credit? A little later on in the day, we went for a backstage tour of the wheel maintenance area of X2. Very cool! No clue what half these parts were... but I had a nerdgasm. The supports are still painted yellow. In one door and out the other, we were lead into the area where the transfer tracks were. More nerdgasm. It was pretty high up so it was hard to get pictures of, but I cried tears of joy. Just kidding. But no, really. The backstage area of X2 allowed for some pretty neat shots of Viper. That mixed with the sunset was the perfect formula for great pictures! Another rare angle of Viper. I do NOT miss those colors on the right! The current paint scheme is very sexy. After some (AMAZING) night ERT on Colossus and Terminator, it was time to call it a night! SFMM day was incredible! Knott's photos up soon!
