Mechanic Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Goldrusher in the dark is definitely a must-do. The relatively tame helix is a completely different experience when done at night. All the coasters at the mountain are great at night, but for me at least, there's just something about Goldrusher that really sets it apart from the others compared to a daytime ride.

ebl Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 As I mentioned on the SFMM thread, I took two preview rides on Superman--Escape From Krypton a couple of weeks ago. Wait till you see the view from almost 400 feet up...at night. Â Eric
robbalvey Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Â THIS JUST IN!!! Â Knott's Berry Farm will give West Coast Bash a "sneak peek" at Halloween Haunt 2011! If you're a fan of Haunt, you won't want to miss this presentation! Â Tickets for West Coast Bash can be purchased here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/store/index.php?categoryID=22
jray21 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Awesome news! It was really cool last year when they introduced the fallout shelter and we were able to see the results at the Halloween event. Can't wait to see what it is!
silentabomb Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 so i got a question if I have an incentive ticket from knotts that i got for working an undisclosed event in October can i use that for WCB??
cfc Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Yay for more Haunt stuff! It was interesting getting a look at how Knott's goes about designing Haunt mazes last year.
Sir Clinksalot Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Giggedy!!! Â WCB is going to be awesome (like that's a surprise).
robbalvey Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 so i got a question if I have an incentive ticket from knotts that i got for working an undisclosed event in October can i use that for WCB?? I think you'd be able to use that, but you'd still have to buy the "Season Pass" rate WCB ticket. Your incentive ticket should cover your admission for the day, but not the added perks of WCB. Â Does that make sense?
Chrisrad Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I'm so glad I'm going to the Knott's day! I didn't go last year because I figured - "Knott's never has lines, and I've ridden everything there, how amazing can a WCB day be?" Then I saw the TRs.. Still kicking myself for missing it. Â Â If any of you are doubting your decision to go to WCB, just go. It's like a theme park visit on steroids, but good steroids.
jdcoffeytime Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Hey guys, I just saw that SFMM is promoting a same event on the same day as WCB? Just saw it on FB and was wondering how that is going to work? Check it out. SFMM Coaster Event or am I trippin?
robbalvey Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Hey guys, I just saw that SFMM is promoting a same event on the same day as WCB? Just saw it on FB and was wondering how that is going to work? Check it out. SFMM Coaster Event or am I trippin? I posted this a few pages back...  On the subject of SFMM opening up a "coaster enthusiast" event for ACE members, let me clear one thing up for all of you...It's actually not an ACE event. The park has decided to open up *some* features of WCB to more people, not just ACE members, to help off-set the cost. There wasn't much we can do about it, but we have been told by the park that WCB members will get special perks, our own lanyard, our own Q&A/presentation, etc, etc. I kind of equate it to when more than one school has "physics day" on the same day and each of them have their own activities. But bottom line is, there are two events going on this day - "The SFMM Enthusaist Day" and "West Coast Bash." Some of the group will be combined for some features of both events, but I've been told that WCB will have exclusive things just for our event. Based on what SFMM has done for us in the past, do you see any reason why we should doubt them?
jdcoffeytime Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks Robb, Didnt realize you posted about it already. Sorry.
Cole H Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Ooohhhh This List Looks SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Hope They Put Superman And Roadrunners on the list also Apocalypse would be cool for Morning ERT. God I keep calling Gold Rusher, Gold Digger. Do You Think There Will be More Morning ERT rides?
robbalvey Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 ^^ No worries, it was quite a few pages ago....
skaunit Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Oh man, 2 and a half weeks.... I am anxious.... Â Looking forward to the full schedule, or "big bad west coast bash email" as it typically is titled....
Chrisrad Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Does anyone know if the coaster event sponsored by SFMM has nighttime ERT? Just curious.. I can't seem to find any info on their Facebook post.
Xcoaster Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 ^ Yes, both morning and nighttime ERT, 2 meals, and "surprises": http://www.sixflags.com/magicMountain/events/CoasterEnthusiastDay2011.aspx  Back to WCB: I want a shirt, but I probably won't know by Friday that I'll definitely be able to make it to WCB. Is there any chance I could reserve a shirt and just pay extra for the shipping if it turns out I can't make it to the event? I'll probably be there, but I've been warned to keep my schedule open.
6flagsbrad Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 God I keep calling Gold Rusher, Gold Digger. Haha, I like it.
robbalvey Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Even MORE ERT Announced!!! Â Here is the ERT line-up for Knott's Berry Farm on Sunday!

Â Buy your tickets here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/store/index.php?categoryID=22 Edited March 2, 2011 by robbalvey
Chrisrad Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 ^Awesome! I've only been on Sierra Sidewinder twice because the line is long when I'm there.. I guess I'll be riding it quite a bit now! Â I don't see Pony Express on there. Perhaps as a special WCB perk, they'll run the ride backwards for us. Â Â Oh wait.. they already do that. Â Â As always, thanks for putting these events together!
Gmaster562 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Starting to regret my decision only signing up for SFMM and not KBF! Sounds fun!
ebl Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Wow! I haven't seen that logo since the '70s. Oh, the memories that brings back! Â Hopefully I can do the Knott's day. It looks like fun. Â Eric
robbalvey Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 Starting to regret my decision only signing up for SFMM and not KBF! Sounds fun! You can still buy tickets for the Knott's day, you know!
