jray21 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 So excited for the Montezuma tour! I absolutely love that ride and can't wait for the behind the scenes look!
rollin_n_coastin Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Montezuma to me is like a legend I've always heard talked about but never seen. I didn't even realize the it was at Knott's or that I'd ever have a chance a riding it, let alone get a sneak peak up close. Very cool stuff!
fatdaddy Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Doing both days, but Knott's is seriously sounding awesome!
galindoverhere Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Doing both days, but Knott's is seriously sounding awesome! Â Yes it is!!
noseldnik Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Oh, what's this? I have vacation time I need to use by March? Okay then  Event tickets are purchased - $140 Roundtrip flights have been bought - $305 Rental car was reserved - $92 Vacation time has been scheduled at work Still dawdling on the hotels - ~$300 Fiscal responsibility has been kicked in the nards  So I'm scheduled to land at LAX around 1pm Friday. Gonna have to hit up In n Out. Any recommendations for a first timer to LA?
dylanreich Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 ^Haha, I literally live 3 minutes from LAX. In fact, there is an In-N-Out right by the airport on Sepulveda Blvd., if you want to go there. Where are you staying? I would say to try to check out some of the touristy spots in Hollywood if you're into that, because Friday rush hour traffic is horrendous if you need to get on the freeway. Also be very careful of your surroundings while driving, we have many bad/crazy drivers here. Let us know if you have any specific questions you need answered!
Sir Clinksalot Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 ^^ There is also a credit at the Santa Monica Pier, not far from LAX. Could be a nice first stop.
PCW_Nut Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 ^^ There is also a credit at the Santa Monica Pier, not far from LAX. Could be a nice first stop. Â That is where I will be on the Friday. Unless of course Transformers happens to soft open early!
QueerRudie Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Hmmmm... I keep forgetting about the Arr... er... Morgan Hyp...er Junior coaster at Santa Monica... Perhaps that could be a side-trip before heading to LAX on Monday morning.
robbalvey Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 Just be sure to check the parks calendar, because when they are in "limited operation" that usually does NOT include the roller coaster. Â http://www.pacpark.com/calendar_english/index.php?
Sir Clinksalot Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 ^^ You will be safe going to Santa Monica. NO WAY Transformers soft opens 3 months prior to it's scheduled open date.
hauntguy Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Any recommendations for a first timer to LA? Â Um, if you're planning on ordering food while you're here, you might want to brush up on your Spanish.

SharkTums Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Just booked our Thursday night hotel... Â Flights - CHECK! Rental Car - CHECK! Hotels - CHECK! Â Totally ready!
galindoverhere Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 ^^ Lucky, I'm still trying to reserve a place at the Knott's hotel
Homeboy23 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Yes! I just purchased my ticket for both days! This will be my first west coast bash and third bash overall, I can't wait! Â Now just to book my flight, hotel and rental car tomorrow.
Sir Clinksalot Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Just got our tickets for SFMM ... still debating on Knott's.
DJeXeL Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 You get a backstage tour of Zoom. What's to debate?
QueerRudie Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Just got our tickets for SFMM ... still debating on Knott's. Â Let's see: Last remaining Anton Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop in the United States... up close and personal, the smell of refined axle grease and teflon dripping down the silky smooth rails. The ability to get close to the double-flywheel foot for a strong, forceful catapult, thrusting you hard and fast down a long, long, section of Anton's finest steel, then being thrown on your back and pushed firmly and quickly into the leathery seat... and then higher and higher up, up, up to the top... only to have Anton do it again in reverse. Â No, there's no reason to debate it (At least from my point of view...)
buckaroo234 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 i heard a mere rumor of this happening and bought my tickets the first day in case it was true. Praise be to Anton!
SuperShawn Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Not sure what'll be better, the backstage tour of Montezooma or watching QueerRudie during the tour.
galindoverhere Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Not sure what'll be better, the backstage tour of Montezooma or watching QueerRudie during the tour. Â The Montezooma backstage tour! Ahahaha just kidding, I'm going to be meeting QueerRudie for the first time at WCB so this might be interesting...
Homeboy23 Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I am now booked! Flight, hotel + car! Â And my plane arrives early enough Friday that a trip to Disneyland is in order!
johnychen Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Just bought my tickets for both days and booked my flight. Looks like its going to be a fun weekend. Â I'll be flying in early on Thursday and leaving late Monday. Should have enough time to go to Disneyland on Friday and universal on Monday. Â It be nice to see Montezooma. It's like meeting good old Greezed Lightnin from Astroworld. Edited January 20, 2012 by johnychen
SharkTums Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 My thinking is that we will all see lots of familiar faces at Disney on both that Friday and Monday!
