Author	West Coast Bash - SFMM - Big Photo TR!
robbalvey Posts: 111 Registered: 10/19/2000 Rank: Bronze Critic	3/14/2008 8:31:20 PM So it's that time of year again...West Coast Bash 2008. This year though, things are a little different from the past. Traditionally, West Coast Bash was a morning of ERT, then hanging out with friends and enjoying a day in the park. But earlier this year, we pitched the guys at Magic Mountain an idea for an event that we thought could be a "Solace Killer." We wanted Magic Mountain to be THE day of the weekend and the park wanted to showcase all the changes that have been going on this past year. We added more coasters to the morning ERT session, added multiple backstage tours, added presentations and guest speakers, and then the big surprise of the day was that ALL of the parks operating coasters would be running for night ERT. I don't think in theme park event history that there has ever been an ERT session with THIRTEEN rides running at a time. Overall the event was a huge success. It was truly a showcase for the "new" Magic Mountain. Now onto the photos of the event.... I will post as many as I can here, but the full update is about 150 photos. I'll post a link to the full update at the bottom of the page. [IMG]http://www.themeparkreview.com/wcb2008/wcb_robb_03.jpg[/IMG] "I'm looking for an "Al"--last name "Coholic."

mrceagle Posts: 13804 Registered: 6/9/2001 Rank: TPC News Minister	3/15/2008 4:23:42 PM The images don't show up. The image tags need to be changed form uppercase to lower case to get them to show. I normally uses Words find and replace function to do it on my trip reports.
Canobie Coaster Posts: 2694 Registered: 7/26/2005 Rank: Platinum Critic	3/21/2008 5:30:45 PM I saw the images on your site. Great trip report and excellent photos as usual. The Sky Tower museum definitely looks cooler than I thought it would be.
