rcdude Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 ^^^If you're travelling from out of state for the event, you really should attend both days. Each has its pros and cons. SFMM has a great coaster collection with lots of ERT and tends to offer more surprise activities, but their 2012 event was relatively lackluster compared to previous years. Knott's may not have as impressive of a lineup for ERT sessions, but they've offered some excellent backstage tours and usually have a much more interesting presentation than SFMM (plus the lunch at Knott's is typically better than the lunch at SFMM, although SFMM also provided breakfast). In my opinion, SFMM is the better day if you just want to ride coasters, but Knott's tends to beat it in every other area of the event. I had more fun at SFMM in 2010, in 2011 both days were about equal, but last year Knott's blew SFMM away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laqueefa Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Dont make the same mistake I did my first WCB! I wore crappy shoes, ended up getting shin splints, and couldn't make the Knotts day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Coleman Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I also would like to chime in support for doing both days. I did both last year and thought that knotts put sfmm to shame with all of the extras and extra fun that we had. Tpr quest was worth the trip all by itself. If you can manage it, I would also reccomend a trip to disneyland while you are at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.C. Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 In my opinion, SFMM is the better day if you just want to ride coasters, but Knott's tends to beat it in every other area of the event. I had more fun at SFMM in 2010, in 2011 both days were about equal, but last year Knott's blew SFMM away. Also realize that it rained during the Knott's WCB day in both 2011 and 2012. Even with poor weather Knott's put on an amazing day for us. Now that the event is in September we should have a better chance of having nice weather both days!

jray21 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Riding Sierra Sidewinder in the pouring rain was so much fun! Definitely do both days, it's absolutely worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I had planned on doing both days but looks like it will only be SFMM this year. I have a race on that Sunday. I didn't even put the two together. It's possible I could make it down to Knott's later in the day though and just miss Morning ERT/Tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
805Andrew Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I will most likely attend West Coast Bash this year. I'm gonna try to convince a couple of friends to come down with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Yeah, all I've heard is how Knotts is far better (and really is this a shocker) just Im trying to balance being a coaster nut, with seeing other people and Cali itself, ya know? Only got so much time and $$! I made the painful choice of just SFMM for the sake of coasters but well see! Plenty of time still, kinda, maybe I'll run into a bucket of money and can do it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnastyGnoric7 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'll be there as long as I do not have to replace any PS3 controllers, doing this as a side quest from my Las Vegas trip this September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Must one register for the WCB to attend if so how can I register? Yes, you have to register and buy tickets before the event, we do NOT sell tickets the day of. The event should go on sale soon so keep an eye out!

robbalvey Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 There should be enough event tickets to go around, don't worry! I've actually been getting the final pricing information from the parks this week so look for tickets to go on sale in the next week or so! (crosses fingers!)

pilotgirl21 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I was going to try and do the bash, but it looks like it will have to wait until next year. Just booked a flight to Chicago to visit my family in September. I will hopefully be going to Six Flags Great America while I'm there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJLehto Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 The suspence is killing me. Indeed! Especially with plane tix and rental car being well within my budget, surprisingly cheap. I was 99% on this trip, waiting on Robb for prices but now that I see how cheap it is overall, Im a definite. I cant imagine the WCB being terribly expensive Stoked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrojack Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I was checking flights from Pittsburgh, 9/6-9/10 and Delta is only 250 roundtrip. Might have to book this trip today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
