We went to the West Coast Bash at Six Flags Magic Mountain today and had a fabulous time. It was a completely new experience for us and we were so glad we went. This website called themeparkreview organizes trips and events for theme park and roller coaster enthusiasts all over the world. We were lucky to get to join in on an event because the park is only 25 mins from our apartment and we have season passes this year. Thanks Mom and Dad!
The first cool thing was they had something called ERT which means you get to ride the rides when the park isn't open. You basically just walk in and get on and ride. They had 4 rides operating so we went on Tatsu and Superman- my two favorites. yay! One thing I noticed is that these were some serious roller coaster people. We rode Tatsu and no one was screaming at all. Well, except me. It was like they were just taking it all in. Pretty interesting. It was soooo fun to not have to wait in line! When the park opened there still weren't very many people there and we were able to ride 7 roller coasters before lunch! That's like what one would hope to accomplish in a full day at a park. The only side effect we noticed from that though was that our bodies got a little tired out pretty fast so we had to rest a little bit. (We aren't teenagers anymore. )
We had lunch at the picnic pavillion with all the other theme park review peeps and we were so tired from the time change and getting up early, that we headed home after that. But we had gotten in all the fun rides already so we felt great. We came home and took naps. (Once again, we aren't teenagers anymore). :-) Next time we would love to stay the full day and take the backstage tours and do the evening ERT too. Thanks theme park review!
