The Bebes

Congrats on #300!!!!!

Nice TR. Reminds me of a reverse version of our Theme Park Tour:Pt 2 from last year (sans i305, but including BBW). Check out our TR if you want some info or opinions of Knoebels, Kennywood, and Waldameer.

Whew!! If it weren't for Gertrude, I would have never lived to see that awesome Trip Report!! Thanks Gertrude! I love it! If anyone gets a chance to hang out with David and Hilary at an event, DO IT! They're awesome and you'll have a blast!! - Lady Bebe

Hey Everyone, If you like The Bebes' trip reports, you will LOVE "ILoveRides" David's Trip Report. You MUST check it out! SOOOO FUNNY!!! http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=54658

OH. MY. GOD. That was the funniest TR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm still crying. Gertrude and her manly pose had me on the floor. That was AMAZING and I am sooooo honored to have been a part of the greatest Trip Report EVAR!! - Lady "Manly Pose Enthusiast" Bebe

^Ghost, I assume you're talking about Collosus from several frames up. Your single up arrow indicates that the line was for the back of Awesome Shawn, while the rest of Awesom Shawn was a walk-on.

First park was Knotts on Jan 31, 2010. First ride was GhostRider. First overpriced meal was a Super Yummy Chili Dog with a Super Yummy overpriced Boysenberry Punch. First NEW ride of 2010: Yet to Come!!! And no solid plans as of now. First EVENT: West Coast Bash First On-Ride Photo: X2

Awesome TR Chuck. I LOVE your captions! Advice on X2 (next time you ride): The inner seat rattles far less than the outter seat. I've had my best (smoothest) rides in the second to last row of the train, and generally the back seems to be a better ride than the front. Also, I think the left side delivers a more interesting ride, in my opinion. -Mr. Bebe

Robb, I was actually going to vote for SFDK V2, but it wasn't available. I LOVE the sorta horizontal spinning spike more than the verticals. Oh well, Silver Bullet, then.

^ Thank YOU, Shawn!! You are AWESOME and we had a great time hanging with you! Hopefully it won't be too long before we get to do it again!

^^^ Sue, We lined up at Colossus just before 10pm. When they opened the RED side, it was ALL TPR people against the last GP train of the night. Then we rode twice more, TPR against TPR. The second ride was the best, with both trains jockeying back and forth for position! The third ride, with The Bebes taking on their friends was weird. They let the black train loose like 10 full seconds before us. They were half way up the lift before we ever left. They were so far ahead for the entire ride that I couldn't even see them anymore. Then, as we rounded in toward the station, they braked hard and we coasted in in front of them! WTF!? By 10:20, we were headed toward Terminator. ^Homeboy, Thanks. Maybe if the timing works out, we can meet you at SFMM during your upcoming trip. ^^Big Mike, We Miss you too!!!! Hope you are doing better.

SATURDAY March 20, 2010 West Coast Bash DAY 1 : Six Flags Magic Mountain It’s finally here! The Bebes missed WCB 2009 due to a poorly timed surgical procedure and were eager to participate in the 2010 festivities! Two long days with a very short turnaround lie ahead, but The Bebes tread on. 6:30am Time to get up and get ready. Season Pass. Check. TPR shirt. Check. Camera. Check. And we’re on our way! 7:30am We hit the freeway with our Starbucks. Mr Bebe: “Should we get Robb a Cinnamon Dolce Latte?” Lady Bebe “Do you know how many of those things he’s gonna get!!!??” We would later find out the answer was ONE. Sorry Robb. 7:45am We meet Justin in the parking lot. Justin says that some guy in the parking lot found a wallet and is looking for the owner. Justin suggests that The Bebes claim it so we can all party on somebody else’s dime. Of course, The Bebes would never do such a thing, and we head into the park. After going through the metal detector, Justin realizes that he is missing his wallet. “Yeah, it was MY wallet.” The TPR gang shows off the WCB T-shirts. I can’t wait to get mine!!! “Here’s your T-Shirt!” We met Chuck “CFC” at the check in. He had a really nice orange marker. Where can The Bebes get a really nice orange marker like that? “Here’s a really nice orange marker!” 8:25am Magic Mountain Director of Operations, Neal Thurman, welcomes the crowd and announces that for one day only, during WCB, the over-the-shoulder restraints will be removed from Revolution. HOLY CRAP!!!! Then he says “Just Kidding.” GRRRRRR! Neal!!!! Just to clarify: Lady Bebe has boobs. Mr. Bebe does not. 8:30am Since Magic Mountain is our home park and X2 and Déjà vu are the ONLY rides that ALWAYS have a line, we headed straight for X2 for our morning ERT. We spent the entire 2 hours there, logging a lucky 13 rides. Is this supposed to come undone? This is the 2nd straight TPR event at Magic Mountain where one of our very own “Enthusiasts” puked on the platform (see Termination Day trip report). How could such a calm, peaceful ride like X2 elicit vomit? Ahhh, memories of our 2009 summer Theme Park Tour: Part Deux. 10:45am Justin wasn’t feeling too well after 13 laps on X2, so he sat out while The Bebes grabbed a quick ride on Tatsu before heading to our morning excursion tour, a walk behind the scenes from Déjà vu to Batman. Justin claimed he was at 3% functionality. Later he would admit that he puked somewhere near the X2 photo booth while The Bebes purchased that Zen Photo. And then again just before lunch! 11:15am Dan took pictures of dirt. If YOU also took pictures of dirt, email… Lady Bebe took a picture of herself in the road safety mirror behind Déjà vu. Justin took a picture of Mr. Bebe taking a picture of Robb taking a picture of Mr. Six Dance Coaster Track. Robb and Mr. Bebe stood side-by-side waiting for Batman and Riddler to line up for a great photo. Robb’s shot is on the left, Mr. Bebe’s on the right. Darn camera delay! “Me love you long time. ” We met up with “ILoveRides” David and his girlfriend, Hillary Duff. David and the gang show off the MANLY POSE. 12:00pm Time for lunch! Nom nom nom. I hope we have enough napkins. “Here are napkins!” Jeff’s been in such a giving mood today. What will he give us next? Time for the scavenger hunt, and we are team #36. Here’s the team: The Bebes, JustinJJ, “IloveRides” David and “Hillary Duff” Brittany, “PackfanLV” Shawn, young Austin (didn’t get his screen name) and his dad Jim (ditto). Despite the rantings of team #38, team #36 ruled! We finished 6th. 2:40pm After the Scavenger hunt, it was time for our Super Secret Afternoon Excursion. What would it be?! The Metro Rail Graveyard! Sweet!!! These old trains haven’t run in like 8 years. And they never will again. If this lady has an accident, by no means should the doctors operate! The Bebes chill UNDER the metro. Our tour group converges in the old Flashback queue building. Our guide informs us of many things including: The proper manner in which water dummies should be stored: 69. Mr. Bebe tries taking Lady Bebe on his own Special Secret Excursion. The Bebes are such rule Breakers. Ummm… 3:30pm Everyone gathers for a group photo in front of the Magic Moments Theater and then the afternoon presentation. 5:30pm Justin and The Bebes leave campus for a cheap meal at Wahoos Fish Tacos. 8:00pm After wasting tons of time at Wahoos, we return to Magic Mountain. We decided to get a ride on Goliath. NOPE. The line was like 2hrs long. So we headed to Scream, where there is never a line. The Bebes ride with “Top Thrill Dragster” Ryan and strike the MANLY POSE for “ILoveRides” David. 10:00pm. It’s time for evening ERT. And first thing on the agenda: Collossus. Racing. Only for WCB ERT! Amazing! The Bebes grabbed the newly tracked red train while Justin, Shawn, David and Brittany challenged us from the black train. They had their eyes on US! In case you didn’t get over there, zombies with glowing eyes raced on Collossus at West Coast Bash. Evil Alvey, secret leader of the Colossus zombies was stalking us, so we headed toward Terminator: Salvation: The Ride. Justin is a cock licker. We stopped off at Goldrusher on our way to Terminator: Salvation: The Ride. Lady Bebe has been assimilated, and Shawn can’t believe it. William was Super Duper Excited to see The Bebes and Friends at Terminator: Salvation: The Ride. Robb wasn’t. Magic Mountain replaced the on-board audio with a custom TPR soundtrack that referenced the Scavenger Hunt quiz, Christian Bale’s movie set tirade, and tons of “Take the Tunnel”. Because “That’s how West Coast Bash rolls. We take the tunnel.” Usually. Sometimes “We took the silence!!!” 12:15am Magic Mountain staff was on hand at the exit to high five WCB attendees as they exited. What a great day!!! Thanks TPR, RideWorld, and Magic Mountain for a seriously awesome day!!! Now, off to bed for 4hours so we can do it all over again at Knott’s Berry Farm! To Be Continued……

^TPR members DO bite! AND Lady Bebe bites hard. REAL HARD! Mr. Bebe bites JustinJJ HARD

Nice WCB TR Steve! There were some seriously kick-ass pix in there!!! And Congrats to Jen on her #100! The Bebe's hit #100 on Ravine Flyer2 last year. I'm glad to see so many people loving on GhostRider after WCB. It was my favorite woodie for a long time and I still love it (albeit a bit rougher than it used to be). Also, I agree that Silver Bullet is way underrated. I think there is a world of difference between the front and back of the train though. I have some advice for your trip to Knoebels later this year: 1. It's much larger than you think it's gonna be. 2. It has more flat rides than any place I've ever been (and some really great nostalgic ones). Don't miss the Flyers, Haunted House, Carousel (brass ring style) and (i can't remember the name of the ride) Orange Roller Ride. Their Wipeout program is great too! 3. BUMPER CARS! OMG! DON'T SKIP THE BUMPER CARS! 4. Sit in the 3RD ROW of Phoenix for the best airtime EVAR! 3rd ROW!!!! 5. Did I mention the BUMPER CARS?! -Mr Bebe

Well HI THERE ghost! Weird as it may seem, The Bebes are kinda shy too! We saw J Kohrs all over and wanted to make some sort of hoodie reference, but didn't. Also, it's hard to put faces to screen names unless the person attaches their face as an avatar. I see some of these reports and I'm like, "OH, THAT was so-n-so!!!!!" Like you said, next year.... -The Bebes

Awesome TR Chuck! It was great to meet you at WCB. Hope to see ya at another event soon!

Great TR! We saw you guys all over the place at SFMM! I wish we could put face to screen name! See ya at the next one! -The Bebes

You were right!!!!! It was my 5th lap, and it's verified in the pic!!!!! Ride #5 of 13 on x2 during WCB 2010 A.M. ERT, with ChickenBowl (Jeremy)

Were you wearing red/black checker shoes?

^^Thanks William! Ours too!!!! The Bebes took 12 laps on Terminator (3 or 4 sans audio) and couldn't get enough of it! Lady Bebe still keeps saying "That's how we roll at WCB. We take the tunnel". ^Jeremy, I remember talking with you on x2! Great meeting you and maybe we can share a ride again at the next one! -Corey "Mr. Bebe"

What's your name chickenbowl? Did we talk?

What an amazing time this weekend at West Coast bash!!!! I wanted to thank everybody who had a shout-out to the Bebes! It's always great to meet the people behind the screen names (even if you mis-pronounce it! Some people we met, we didn't even get names (The couple from Milwaukee that we talked with on Sierra Sidewinder during ERT). Or we got their name "Martin", "Jim & Austin" but not their screen name to put it with. SO, if anybody met the Bebes this weekend, let us know who you are!!!! And don't be too shy to come say "hi" at the next event (Austin T.!!!) and get a ride and/or a pic with the Bebes!!!! I'll be posting the WCB trip report this week so keep an eye out for it!!!!!!

^^You're welcome!!!! Thanks for following the Bebe's Amusement Adventures!!!!

We are so sorry the hear of your loss. You are in our thoughts, Big Mike!

Awesome TR Big Mike!! I'm so excited to see the rest of the Scandi Trip! But, what I'm more excited about is the fact that I get to see the Big Man in TWO WEEKS!!! I am sooooo looking forward to WCB!! <3 Lady Bebe
