This year, the West Coast Thunder Parade offers two choices. Riders have the option of going to either the Riverside National Cemetery or directly to Soboba Casino via a closed, police-escorted route. Once the riders enter Van Buren Boulevard, those that wish to go to the cemetery will proceed to the right lane and will turn right on Village West Drive and enter the cemetery via a private entrance.

Those wanting to ride directly to Soboba Casino will move to the left lane once on Van Buren Boulevard and enter the 215 North. The California Highway Patrol will escort this group of riders from the 215 North to the 60 East to Gilman Springs Road to Soboba Road.
