-Mr Bebe

Omg!!!! That just reminded me:
Robb actually gave THE BEBES a T-shirt during lunch at Knotts WCB for bringing him a Starbucks the day before!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! ~

Awesome! That looks like so much fun!!!
As Big Mike crosses things off his bucket list, I'm adding more and more to mine that I never would have heard of without The Mighty Big Man's guidance!

YEA!!! I'm so glad to see that The Big Man will be here in CA in April!! If the Bebes are not working, we'd love to meet up and hang out with you!!
Also, I'd love to check out your spreadsheet! daniellegiannantonio@hotmail.com
Big Mike is such an inspiration to The Bebes!!!

Thank you for the time and effort you put into that.
Thanks for including me - that was totally cool.
Thanks for all the kind words, Tim. It's always a pleasure to see you at the events! I think you were the very first person to actually recognize us and come say HI BEBES (even if you mispronounced it as BEEEBS at the time, lol).
I remember logging our 100th coaster (Ravine Flyer II, PAGE 4 of this thread!!!!) and how exciting it was for us. It was an honor to chronicle your achievement and you ABSOLUTELY inspired the "coaster count" tattoo on MY forearm in the report. THANKS!!!!!

The sad part is...I can no longer have a normal Starbucks anymore. I always have to find some poor soul to lick the cup...and it's just never been quite the same.
*sad*
^Be careful what you wish for . . .*horny* -
MY GOSH!
Thank you all soooo very much for your praise!!!! We worked very long and hard on this report and are soooooo glad that so many people actually GET IT and ENJOY IT!!!!!!! We weren't too sure how well it would go over.
BEHIND THE SCENES (Pre-Production):
We thought back to our Termination Day report and how well it turned out. The story for that report came about during the assembly of the photos. It was never PRE-PLANNED. We hadn't had a real trip report since WCB 2011 and wanted to make this one special. We wondered what might happen if we hit the park with a PRE-PLANNED storyline in mind. We spent a few months trying to come up with something interesting to base our report around. After re-watching Memento, the concept was set. It took another month or so to iron out the inciting incidents and reasoning behind the "condition".
BEHIND THE SCENES (Production):
We made a list of about 7 photos that we HAD TO GET at the park. We found Robb early, gave him his coffee, and asked him to pose with his coffee for us. He didn't know WHY or WHAT he was posing for, but the poses were PERFECT!!!! We asked him to meet us after dark for another round of photos and had him pose for the punching bits. Again, he didn't have ANY idea WHY he was punching me, but didn't hesitate to accommodate. All of the other photos and rest of the day were organic shots from our WCB experience.
BEHIND THE SCENES (Post-Production)
I actually shaved my chest & leg for the tats (it's barely even started to grow back).
I spent 2 days alone on photo-shopping (There are probably 10-15 shots that were photo manipulated).
It took three days of photo shoots for the GIFS & Bloody face (Yeah, I checked to see what I wore to the park, but failed to check what I was wearing at the END of the day).
It took one whole day to write and assemble the story (Yeah, we got confused in the assembly as well)
And about three days on assembling the GIFS (Lady Bebe did ALL of the B&W GIFS, & I did the few within the report and the credits)
Gisco --- are you STILL a Starbucks Enthusiast???!!! I'll get your next one, free of charge!
-Mr Bebe

Your quick! You changed jackets from the time Robb hit you and you hit the ground!
SHUSH YOU! No one was supposed to notice that!
-
Congratulations on what has to be absolutely the best trip report I have ever seen anyone post on here; that took some serious thought, work and effort and was very entertaining.
Thanks John! And everyone else who's been showing this TR so much love! It was quite the undertaking, but so much fun to put together!! And we couldn't have done it without all our awesome TPR friends!!
-Lady Bebe

...I got the first ever denied manly pose.
Sorry ACE, Blame ILoveRides!!!!!! LOL!!!
Thank you so much for making my day a million times better..., and I'm looking forward to your report on Knott's.Awwwww, shucks !!!! KBF will take a little while to get online, but I think you'll be included more in that one. Thanks for hangin' wit The Bebes and helping to make our WCB 2012 AWESOME!!!!!!
There were a lot of double pictures on my end when I read it...
We were wondering how many people might NOT GET the concept of our report. It's just like the movie MEMENTO (if you've seen it, you'll understand the layout of the report better). It's told in reverse chronological order, starting with the end of the day and ending with the beginning of the day. Each "segment" ENDS with the same frame that the previous segment STARTED with. Each "segment" is separated by an expository / somewhat unrelated animated B&W frame.
I hope this explanation helps out those who didn't follow the report the first time through. Try it again.
If you were getting duplicate pics other than that, or if the animations didn't animate, you may be having a problem with your viewing device. I know a few people who tried viewing it through their phone lost out on some of the animations.
PS - I AM a valuable Big Mike Reader!!!!!
-Mr. BEBE (back at home, but still recovering)

Thanks guys!! And thanks for helping make our West Coast Bash unforgettable... well, for one of us anyway!

SATURDAY February 18, 2012
West Coast Bash
DAY 1 : Six Flags Magic Mountain
SOUVENIR : an EPIC West Coast Bash Trip Report by The Bebes
Souvenir: An Epic WCB 2012 Trip Report by The Bebes
Somebody punched me??? No, I don't remember anything. Ever since the incident, I'm unable to form new memories...
We tried to get one more spin on X2, but security stopped us in our tracks. "Sorry guys, ERT is OVER." Disappointed, we headed for the gates.
On our way, we ran into Robb. He was furious!!! Yelling at me....
He showed me a photo on his phone. "YOU did this to ME???!!!!"
"I don't think so, Robb. You see, I have this condition....."
WHACK!!!!
I woke up hurt, bloody. I didn't know why. I didn't know what happened to me. I didn't remember anything.
The key to dealing with the condition is to have a system. I began to add tattoos to my body help me remember
After a quick spin on Tatsu, we joined up with SuperShawn to finish our evening ERT on X2
SuperShawn was Super X2-cited about ERT
Mr. Bebe and ILoveRides David had a stare-down for the smoother inside seat on X2. Mr. Bebe won, avenging his Ro-sham-bo loss from WCB 2011.
The group grabbed 3 spins on X2 before, one by one, everybody slowly bailed out, leaving the Bebes riding alone until the very end. Security had to stop us. "Sorry, ERT is OVER." Disappointed, we headed for the gates.
What's the last thing I remember? The lift hill.
We all bundled up in our warmest winter gear and returned to the park for evening ERT
It was especially cold outside, so David & Spears grabbed some HOT beverages.
"Ooooohhhhh, we should grab a spin on Revolution!!!!", I exclaimed. Lady Bebe grabbed me by the elbow and ushered me toward Tatsu.
After a quick spin on Tatsu, we headed to X2 to finish up our evening ERT
Tattoos work better than notes. Notes can get damaged or lost.
After the presentation, Spears and The Bebes left the park and headed to Tomato Joes
David stayed behind at the park, since he had won an opportunity to partake in an ultra-special super-exclusive once-in-a-lifetime chance at a backstage tour of AN EMPTY ROOM.
Our pizzas were ready just minutes before David re-joined us. VEGAN PIZZAS!!! Eat your heart out Caesar!!!!
After enjoying our meal, we all bundled up in our warmest winter gear and returned to the park for evening ERT
Yeah, I remember everything prior to the incident. But I can't retain new thoughts for more than a couple minutes, then they're lost.
The HERD takes the tunnel toward the Magic Moments Theater
I swear I read the sign, but moments later, I found myself smoking right next to it.
Hmmmm, it sure looks like Gertrude, but I suspect it's an imposter goose
After taking a massive group photo, the crowd was allowed into the theater
SFMM executives Tim and Neil gave us a lengthy Q&A presentation about upcoming attractions including SHHH! - The Ride, which will occupy the former Log Jammer area as well as OFF THE RADAR, which will take place of the relocated Deja Vu
And details of this summer's Martin Luther: Drop of Doom were unveiled
After an entertaining Q&A, Spears and The Bebes left the park and headed to Tomato Joes
Gertrude hadn't been seen all day, and I was obsessed ever since the imposter sighting
Hmmmmm, I don't remember posing for photos
"Hey Bernard, have you seen Gertrude???"
"Give me back my goose!!!!!"
Fact 4: Wolves bite men who yell at them
Robb noticed The Bebes interacting with the wildlife and approached them
Unfortunately, a herd of drunken moose got in the way
The herd took the tunnel en route to the Magic Moments theater
I take photos as well as notes until I'm able to permanently tattoo the info on my body
After getting off the ride, David gathered his belongings from the fluffy fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo
Several attractions were closed, so we needed to find something else to keep us entertained for a while.
PackFanLV and young Shawn Reese suggest PHOTO PHUN TIME!!!
I primped my hair in anticipation of the photographs
Mr Bebe and Spears posed for manly photos with Wonder Woman and Aqua Man
David snapped some photos of the ladies acting like Asian superheroes
HY-YA!
"Hey, check out the picture I just took in this bathroom behind me!!!"
That's just plain creepy, Robb.
Hmmmmm, I don't remember posing for any photos
Maybe some of these photo trip reports will jog my memory
Spears gave David $14 for a fluffy fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo
The Mitch Hawker poll is in: 50% of TPR readers prefer The Voyage, while 25% prefer El Toro, and the rest prefer BOOZE
Apparently, we were stuck on the lift hill of Scream for quite a while, or so I'm told
I spotted a maintenance worker reattaching the broken track, so it must be true. I gotta write this down. Where's a pen? I need a pen. I need a pen.
David gathered his belongings from the fluffy fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo
....If you're enjoying this Trip Report
Hmmmmm, I should get breakfast while there's still time
Annoyed, Lady Bebe grabbed my by the elbow and ushered me to GoldRusher for a manly TPR takeover
I tried to explain my condition to the whole train. They seemed confused.
Apocalypse is being re-themed, yet again, as Old Western Whore House
And Jeff Johnson wants to play the Whore
David does NOT endorse AceOfSpades manly, errrrr MANLESS pose
We headed over to Scream where Spears gave David $14 for a fluffy fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo
After some great ERT on Goliath, we decided to hit breakfast
There were tons of donuts!!!
My favorites: Chocolate Frosted
And Chilled juice
We took our new friend TJ on the Orient Express. We thought it would make him feel at home.
Hmmmmm, I should get breakfast while there's still time
"Hey Lady Bebe, why don't we ride Revolution while we are right here next to it???" Confused, Lady Bebe grabbed my by my elbow and ushered me to Green Lantern
Timfar and his family logged coaster credit number 100 on Green Lantern during WCB ERT. Congrats Tim!!!!
These girls are sooooo girly! Rainbow!!!! Unicorn!!!!
And these guys are shaking like little girls
Lady Bebe contends that Green Lantern really beats you up
Sorry guys... Right era, wrong movie.
From Green Lantern we headed to Goliath for a some great ERT, then decided to hit breakfast
"Let's e-mail Robb this photo before we ride Revolution. Tee hee. I'd love to see his face when he gets this!!!!"
"WHAT THE EFFF!!!!!"
"Ohhh, I'm gonna punch that Mr. Bebe when I find him!!!"
The Over-The-Shoulder restraints really add to the Revolution experience
Lady Bebe was glad she decided to sit that one out!!! We left Revolution and headed toward Green Lantern.
"Hey Lady Bebe, why don't we ride Revolution while we are right here next to it???" Confused, Lady Bebe grabbed my by my elbow and ushered me to Green Lantern
The incident on Revolution left me with this condition. I can't form new memories. But I've already told you that, haven't I???
We gave Robb his favorite morning drink: a Cinnamon Dolce Latte from Starbucks
Robb eagerly drank the entire beverage. It was his third of the morning.
The President gave a heartfelt speech about some event happening On St. Patrick's Day
The gates opened and we ran toward Revolution to begin our ERT
"Let's e-mail Robb this photo before we ride Revolution. Tee hee. I'd love to see his face when he gets this!!!!"
We decided to stop at Starbucks on our way to West Coast Bash. We also decided to get Robb a Cinnamon Dolce Latte.
Upon arriving at Magic Mountain, we spotted Robb checking in WCB registrants. He looked parched.
We gave Robb his favorite morning drink
We'll e-mail this to Robb AFTER he drinks his coffee. It's gonna be sooooo funny.
...what's the worst that could happen ????
Now, where was I......

Just in under the wire... AGAIN! I'm going with 4 Duckies!! *fingers crossed*

^ I really like the way it's evolving!

First Attempt. I feel like it might be missing the theme park aspect at this point... but I figured I'd see if I was heading in the right direction.
Let me know what you think.

Oh yeah! An alpine slide is definitely on my bucket list too! That looks soooo fun!!!

It was great seeing Corey and Danielle as always, and it was cool just getting a chance to shake Robb's hand and thank him for organizing this event from Orlando this year.
Thanks Tim!!!! Always nice to see you. Keep an eye out for our trip report coming up this week /weekend, you'll be a part of it!!!!
