- This video shows my first two laps on Santa Monica West Coaster, the family coaster manufactured by Morgan, located at Pacific Park. Easily one of the most photographed and filmed coasters in the world, this coaster has been in operation since 1996. Joining me on my ride is good friend Jeff Johnson.

i honestly can't imagine this coaster anything besides the iconic yellow, even the station hasn't been decorated yet. omg
To be honest, I had forgotten it was purple when it opened as the only time I had seen it that way in person was when I recorded this video. Every other time it's been that bright yellow.
This is literally the closest rollercoaster to where I live, and I pass through Santa Monica all the time, and yet I haven't been on it in nearly 20 years. 😂 It's iconic, but very much a one and done.
To be honest, I have been back to the pier since 2001, but I don't believe I have ridden it since this video was recorded.
I have family in Santa Monica. A lot of good memories on the West Coaster.
Since the 80's, I always wanted to visit Santa Monica Pier, even before the coaster was even an idea for the park. I was (and still am) a big fan of the old sitcom Three's Company. During the 80''s, the pier was the area where the opening and credits took place. The coaster was a bonus. :)
@@SeanFlaharty That’s awesome! I was 8 when it opened and wasn’t even aware of the pier pre-coaster. My Mom, however, visited P.O.P. Pacific Ocean Park, another pier in Santa Monica that had 5 creds at different times. It closed in 1967. I find it hilarious that Movie Park Germany has an entire area of the park themed to the SM Pier including the iconic sign you can walk under.
@@KentuckianaCoastersThe funny thing is I have visited that area at Movie Park Germany and knew it was beach themed but didn't realize the details of it being SM Pier themed until after I visited the park. We were only in the park for about an hour and went in just to get the credits.
Great choice with Pantera on the Blitz!
Hmmm. There must be another Sean Flaharty who loves Pantera and The Blitz as that wasn't me. Ronnie has given me a few shoutouts though. Perhaps I need to request Pantera.
I'm going to ride this in GTA 5. Lol
We always can’t forget this thing is in gta 5
I didn’t know the West Coaster used to be purple.
When it first opened.
@@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214 I figured.
Hey Sean hope you’re doing well! When are you doing another Kings Island video? I think I am going there this summer sometime! Let me know when you’re going !
I have some older videos to be released at a later time. I may only be able to visit Kings Island once this year when one of my friends from out of town will be there. I think in August. I don't visit the Ohio parks as much as I used to. Going to Japan soon to ride more coasters!
I rode this in 1998 and so do not remember it being purple
It has had a few different color schemes. I think it was red at one point. I can't remember if it was yellow when it opened.
We'll see which video gets more views, this or your GTA coaster POV lol.
In March of 2023 I was going to upload an "remastered" version of that same video, but in HDR, running off the PS5.Iit was also going to be more of a trip report/vlog style video using just the locations from the game. However, I wasn't able to successfully export a 60fps, HDR clip from what my PS5 recorded. It lowered the resolution and made it less than ideal for my project, so I scrapped it. It was going to be an April Fools joke.
