Introduction
Two weeks of bruises on the thighs, foot blisters, cauliflower ears, fractured ribs - and that's just obtaining the hotel room keys.
All the big names starred in West Coaster Story. B&M, Intamin, Arrow, CCI, Vekoma, Premier, all shot on location in
New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and California.
This was my biggest journey to date. Not only the distance away from home (the 8-hour time difference gave me the most severe jet-lag to date on arriving home!) but also the distances travelled while on the trip. Bus journeys of several hours across deserts were not uncommon. But hey, it's all in the name of fun!
