Sidra Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I don't use priceline when I know I'll be arriving late (like on saturday night after SFMM). I booked Courtyard on Beach for $89 with AAA discount. I'm still debating staying in Valencia on Friday....
Sir Clinksalot Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 ^ Yeah, I'm thinking that's the way I'm going to go as well. With as late as we are going to be there Saturday Night/Sunday Morning the extra $40-$50 will be worth it.
robbalvey Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 I have been alerted of an ERT schedule change from SFMM. Turns out, they won't have Colossus or Deja Vu open due to scheduled maintenance.  8:30-10:30: Riddler’s Revenge, Batman The Ride, Scream, and Goliath 9:30-10:30: Tatsu and X2  The evening ERT will now consist the following attractions:  9:00-11:00: Gold Rusher, Revolution, Ninja, Viper, Riddler’s Revenge, Goliath, Apocalypse, Tatsu 9:30-11:00: Batman The Ride, Scream, X2
chadster Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 This is sad news, was looking forward to some Colossus, oh well, plenty other things to ride.
carbonfibreguy Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Hey guise, I have a few questions about the ordering process for WBC. Â 1. Now that I've ordered two tickets separately, I've wanted to know if I have to have one of the tickets under my friends' name, as both are currently under my name so I could buy them. Â 2. Do I have to print out the tickets? Will they be shipped to me? What happens if they get lost in the mail? Â 3. Where do I go when I get there? Â Sorry if these questions have already been answered, but I'll be scouring this thread for the answers. Thanks in advance... Â -CFG
Chrisrad Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 What do you all recommend for Friday night: Â Stay at my sister's place (in Costa Mesa/Newport area)? (con: Getting up super early at my sister's place to get to SFMM.) or Find a CHEAP (is that possible ) hotel room in Valencia? (pro: Driving a car that gets decent mileage and paying for a room.) or Bring the RV and stay close to SFMM? (con: Or bringing the RV which gets 10mpg (130 miles one-way).) Â Â Decisions, decisions.. Â Am I taking a gamble by trying to leave OC so early on Saturday morning? Â Anyone want a roommate? I'll pay for half the room. I stayed at Extended stay with my brother last year, but he won't be attending this year.

Sir Clinksalot Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 ^^ There is an RV park about 2 miles from SFMM (at the 5/126 interchange). Doing a quick search it looks like it's about $48 a night for a spot. Would probably be cheaper driving your car and getting a hotel. Â You most likely aren't going to find a "cheap" hotel in Valencia, but you can probably find something closer to SFMM than Newport. Maybe around Burbank Airport? I wouldn't recommend too many places in the Valley, and most places I would recommend would probably cost as much as a hotel room in Valencia. Â You should be ok with traffic that early on a Saturday though, it will still take you 60-90 minutes so I'd leave Newport no later than 7:00am.

Â You should be ok with traffic that early on a Saturday though, it will still take you 60-90 minutes so I'd leave Newport no later than 7:00am. Â Yeah, I'm thinking that the price of fuel will eliminate the possibility of taking an RV.. (300 miles round trip +/-, 10 mpg, diesel at $4.10/gal = $123 - just for the fuel). Wow. That's probably going to be a no. Â I think I'm just going to start looking at hotel rooms. I will definitely be staying at my sister's on Saturday night so there won't be a need for the RV. Â Â We shall see. Thanks for the tip though on that RV park!
ebl Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 ^ Actually, that RV park is a bit west of the interchange. In the photo below, I've indicated where it is in relation to SFMM. Â Hope it helps. Â Eric
ILoveRides Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I'm happy Ninja was added to the SFMM night ERT, especially since if I recall correctly it was down last year. Â Ninja doesn't get too much attention anymore, but it's still one of my favorites. I'm looking forward to a bunch of rides on it.

There isn't any traffic on the weekend if you take the 55, 405 605, to the 5. You can get there in 59minutes. The drive back will hurt though ha ha ha ha... Good luck.
Sir Clinksalot Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 ^ Why wouldn't you just take the 405 all the way up?

Gmaster562 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Woo nice line up! I think colossus and deja vu or not, this event will be amazing!
DefinitiveDetour Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 ^ Why wouldn't you just take the 405 all the way up? Â Â I've always had bad luck that route and simply avoid it but yes you could go that route.
robbalvey Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 Remember, today is the LAST DAY to order a West Coast Bash T-Shirt! After today, we will still sell WCB tickets until they sell out (and they are selling out FAST), but you will NOT be able to get a T-Shirt. Â The WCB T-Shirt looks like this: Â And you can order your tickets here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/store/index.php?categoryID=22 Â --Robb

the ghost Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!! M'y baby's open now for morning ERT!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT! Â The Riddle me this, Riddle me that Ghost
robbalvey Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 West Coast Bash is less than two weeks away! I'll be honest...there aren't that many tickets left. I'd order them now if you're planning on attending: http://www.themeparkreview.com/store/index.php?categoryID=22
CharlieT. Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 ^Do you have any estimate of when they may sell out? I'm currently trying to arrange to go, but won't know until tomorrow or possibly Wednesday. Do you think they will be sold out by then?
robbalvey Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 I'd say you probably have until this weekend.
CharlieT. Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Phew! Thank you so much! This sounds like such a great event! I hope to be able to go!
disneyland255 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Congratulations in advance on selling out Robb! I can't believe this event is less than 2 weeks away! Â Am I able to look in past WCB pictorials to see what has come in those "Bags O Crap?" Edited March 9, 2011 by disneyland255
