OVER 1 Million SERVED. Congrats TPR!!!!

Is there any place where we can see WHO actually posts the 1000000th post??? I mean, ROBB, is there an indicator of who's post is #1000000???

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow guys!!! Thanks a ton! We're so glad you enjoyed the TR! John, so sorry we missed you! You SHOULD HAVE butted in!!!!! And I can't believe we never crossed paths ALL DAY! How crazy! Big Mike, It was SO GOOD to see you again. I wish we would've hung out with you a little more! David, you and Hillary Duff ROCK! Can't wait to hang out again! SuperShawn, A pleasure. We had a decent time at the mountain last week, except for the bee sting I got while riding Revolution. It's still red and irritated! We'll definitely let you know if/when we go to a park. I'd suspect a Late May-June trip to SFMM for Green Lantern..... Caesar, You TOTALLY should be in this report. One of the most epics moments of our WCB ----> when CAESAR ditched US and rode the Goliath train that WASN'T manly, never to be seen again!!!! LOL!!!!

SATURDAY March 19, 2011 West Coast Bash : Six Flags Magic Mountain In 2010, the Bebes attended both days of WCB (SFMM & KBF). Day two, at Knotts, with only a few hours sleep, was very difficult. We spent a good amount of time resting at the lunch tables and sleeping through the presentation in the theater! This year, we had to work a long, late night just before WCB and then back to work early Monday morning. So, we opted to attend ONLY the SFMM day this year. 5:04AM The Bebes just got home from a long 13hr work day (night) and are ready for bed. WCB starts in about 3hrs. Ohhhh Nooooo! 7:46AM After a short nap, The Bebes AND Matt are up and ready to leave the house for WCB. Lady Bebe’s erratic driving gives Matt his first Ride of the day. WCB will be Matt’s first trip to SFMM 8:15AM We arrive at Six Flags Magic Mountain. WCB, Here come The Bebes!!!! And Matt. These people came all the way from KANSAS to attend WCB!!!! Gertrude came to WCB in her Jeep today Lady Bebe forgot something in the car, so Mr Bebe was checked in by Chuck and Big Mike. “Where’s Lady Bebe? “, Big Mike asked. Then, he spotted her through the crowd Lady Bebe came running to the Big Man Reunited and it feels so good We met up with our other cohort for the day, PulsarCA aka Tall Paul WCB coincided with an ACE event AND Physics Day this year. Physics day, much like buses, makes Mr Bebe’s blood boil. But before we can enter, Lady Bebe goes to the bathroom. Mini Robb Alvey predicts that today will be a very Manly Day To evade the crowds, we planned to go right to Riddler, at the back of the park, and work our way toward the front. No one in front of us, no one behind us. Yes!!! Except Gertrude. That crafty bird beat us to Riddler!!! And Riddler wasn’t open! BLAST! Off to Gotham City, Quick! Atom Smasher was also Closed. Green Lantern was Closed. But we managed 3 quick stay-on rides on Batman. This poor girl couldn’t even look us in the face to tell us that Goliath was also CLOSED. We headed to Scream and got screamed at by this old dinosaur We must’ve found the party here at Scream. C’mon Vogue. Let your body move to the music. Uhhhh, where’d the party go???? Morning ERT on Scream looked like THIS if you weren’t on the Robb Alvey Train. We met up with ILoveRides David and ILoveBunnies Hilary Duff (Brittney) who gave us a super duper Manly Pose. We went to X2 for a couple rides to finish off ERT, as the general public came running toward X2! Fast Pass: The Ride had a huge line. Can you use your Fast Pass to skip the line for Fast Pass? MANLY on Tatsu. This was one of the FREE photos we were able to get, thanks to SFMM and TPR!!!! This is one of the COOLEST Perks of the event!!!!!! We headed to the top of the hill for a ride on the newly renovated Superman: Escape from Krypton. It had all new paint, was running at full speed (over 100mph) AND goes backward now! AND running BOTH sides!!!! But which way do we go???? We chose the right side. We chose POORLY. The ride broke and we were stranded in the ice cave for over an hour. Apparently, you can only ride if your group consists of Man, Woman, Man, & Man with limp wrist. Man, Woman, Man, & Man with limp wrist. CHECK. Matt loves the cock! Stalkerazzi Dan - checking his e-mail. If you saw Dan checking his e-mail at WCB, you should e-mail him!!! We caught up with Calicoasters Cody, who had an audience as he told tales of lore and yesteryear OK, so Lady Bebe isn’t the only girl who uses the restroom 100 times a day! After lunch, we were treated to a backstage access tour of the Tatsu Service Road. Interesting new views of Tatsu and Revolution from back here. Tatsu is definitely in excess of the posted speed limit! I had to wait a long time in a peculiar position to get this AWESOME photo of Tatsu. Robb had to get into a peculiar position to get a photo of me taking that AWESOME Tatsu photo. Robb’s AWESOME photo of Mr Bebe’s junk. Thx Robb!!! I see you, Jeremy! And your little hoodie too!!!! Matt couldn’t get his hoodie over his hair! We finally met SuperShawn in person!!! TPR Afternoon Takeover on GoldRusher after the service road tour. Then it was time for the Group Photo. The Bebes are in the back row, just right of the center. Where were YOU when this photo was taken??? What we DO, reflects WHO we are. After the group photo, we left SFMM and went to Tall Paul’s house for a nap. He even set up a futon and blow up mattresses for us to crash on! THX Tall Paul!!!! We returned to the park about an hour before ERT and met up with David and Brittney for the most MANLY Goliath ride EVAR!!!! Night ERT on Scream was disappointing (couldn’t hear the music, didn’t notice any lighting effects, and the rain stung!), but Batman ERT kicked some major a$$!!!! The lighting & fog effects were amazing! We headed for a nighttime ride on Apocalypse. This thing is just amazing after dark!!! Then, on to X2. David and Mr Bebe Ro-Sham-Bo for the INSIDE seat in row 6. After a spin on X2, David and Brittney called it a day and left. Good-bye Manly friends!!!! Thanks for hanging with us and making WCB so fun again!!! Mr Bebe lost 2 photo vouchers, but SuperShawn was so SuperCool that he gave us his voucher!!! Thanks SuperShawn!!!! Before leaving, Lady Bebe had to go to the bathroom (Duh!) and emerged in this super manly pose. Success in the Bathroom!?! Hey guys, show me your MANLY pose! Uhhhhh, OK. 100% NOT Manly. Thanks William, Neal, Robb and everyone else at TPR & SFMM for another great (and Manly) WCB!!!

The Bebes have to postpone their SFMM appearance until WED, April 27. Sorry SuperShawn!!! And anybody else that might have thought to come hang with The Bebes on Tuesday. Hopefully, we'll see y'all on Wed instead!!!!

Without a doubt!!!! The BEST bumper cars by a mile, and scariest flyers ever. I also notices that their WIPEOUT program is waaaayyyy crazier than any other WIPEOUT program I've been on. AND Phoenix in the 3rd Row!!!! Yeah, Knoebel's ROCKS!!!!!!!!

The Bebes will be going to SFMM on Tuesday, April 26. If anyone wants to hang with us, hit us up! And, our WCB 2011 trip report should post by week's end!!!!

The Bebes are definitely Friends of Big Mike!!!

YESSSSSS!! The Bebes have made it into the Manly Pose Hall of Fame!!! I have never felt more proud... - Lady Bebe

EPIC as usual!!! I love it! That really was the manliest ERT in the history of the manly pose, and we are honored to have been a part of it!

Hey all! The Bebes will be making an appearance at West Coast Bash tomorrow at SFMM. We can't wait to see all of our TPR friends, and make some new ones, so be sure to say HI if you see us!!!! AND we will have our friend Matt with us, who has NEVER been to SFMM OR an enthusiast event, so make him feel REALLY welcome!!!!!! And, as always, we will post an epic Trip Report afterward. See Y'all in the A.M.!!!!!!

SEPTEMBER 17-19, 2010 The SECRET Trip 2010 Ever year Mr. Bebe and Lady Bebe alternate turns taking each other on SECRET trips. Sometimes the trip is completely random and unknown, such as the year that Mr. Bebe woke up Lady Bebe, blindfolded her, put her in the car, and drove to Las Vegas. Sometimes the dates are planned, but the details are unknown, such as the 2007 secret trip Lady Bebe took Mr. Bebe on to New Orleans. This was one of those such trips. We had already spent a large amount of money and took a trip to New Zealand, so a small secret trip was in order this year. We already had tickets to Uproar Fest in San Diego, so Mr. Bebe planned a few extra activities around the event that Lady Bebe didn’t know about. Mr. Bebe woke up Lady Bebe early Friday morning. “Let’s Go, Bebe! It’s secret trip time!” First, Mr. Bebe drove to the Burbank Airport, then veered off and kept driving to our First surprise: Chick-fil-A in Upland. Nom Nom Nom. Mr. Bebe then proceeded to drive to the Ontario Airport, then veered off and stopped at our second surprise: Scandia Park. This would be our first time at this small local park. We purchased our all-day pass and went inside, traveling through the arcade and directly to our first new credit: The Scandia Screamer. While climbing into the awkward seats, The Screamer bit Mr. Bebe. Lady Bebe thought it was funny. There’s the culprit. As for the ride, it wasn’t much to write about, but it was scary in the way that it might fall apart at any moment. Next up, Little Dipper. After these kids were done, The Bebes took three uninterrupted laps. We then rode their drop ride, Gravitron, and had a 10 minute uninterrupted spin on the Tilt-a-whirl. Mr. Bebe has blue balls. But that didn’t stop him from winning the first game of miniature golf by ONE point. Boobs. 100 Psycho Freaks from Waco, Texas??? I assumed they mean WACKO, but Waco was made famous in 1993 when cult leader David Koresh and his followers protected the Branch Davidian compound from ATF investigators. The siege lasted 50 days and ended with the compound being burned down and over 70 people left dead. So, maybe they are Psycho WACO freaks. Game #2, Mr. Bebe takes a HUGE lead early Lady Bebe doesn’t think it’s funny She tosses the scorecard into the lake Luckily, Mr Bebe was able to retrieve it with his club And proceeded to win BIG!!! Good-bye Scandia. We hit the road. Lady Bebe fell asleep in the car and woke up just as we pulled into the hotel. She assumed we were in San Diego. What she didn’t realize was that we were in Temecula. Mr. Bebe had gotten tickets to the First Annual Temecula Valley Wine and Culinary Showcase at the Monte de Oro Winery. There were over 30 wineries and a dozen restaurants represented, serving food and wine samples for four hours. We ate a lot and got pretty tipsy by the end of the night. It was great fun and I’d recommend it to others! The next morning we drove to San Diego and checked into our San Diego hotel. Exhausted, we took a nap. Upon waking up, we headed to the beach for Fish n Chips. We went to the Tin Fish at the end of the Pier at Ocean Beach. Wayyyyyy up there at the end. After stuffing our faces with fish, we headed to the Uproar Fest. We got there just before sunset, having missed the four day-time side stage acts. Halestorm (who?) was just about to take the main stage. Calicoasters said he was going to be there in the general admission section. I looked, but couldn’t find him. Where are you, Cody? Next up was Stone Sour, a decent side project of Slipknot front-man Corey Taylor. Hetfield next to us didn’t seem to be having a very good time, though. Co-headlining Uproar Fest was Avenged Sevenfold. At the time we bought our tickets, we were unfamiliar with Avenged Sevenfold. Mr. Bebe procured a set-list and all the songs that they would be playing. By the time the show was upon us, Mr. Bebe was a new fan of the band, maybe even more-so than headliners Disturbed, for whom we went to Uproar for. Avenged Sevenfold was pretty awesome, but so loud my ears were ringing for two days. Rounding out the night was one of Mr. Bebe’s all-time favorite bands, Disturbed. The show was pretty good, but singer David Draiman’s vocals were weak. We headed back to our room and crashed hard. The next morning we headed to Hash House-a-go-go for Sunday brunch. The wait was about an hour and a half. But they served us complimentary drinks such as this tasty watermelon-kiwi spritzer. Yum! Mr. Bebe got the famous Sage Fried Chicken and Waffle Tower. Please allow extra time. Lady Bebe got the Griddled French Toast. The portions were massive! Food Coma. The Bebes were destroyed. We left San Diego and took a detour to Bates Nut Farm, a general store type of outfit. This is the kind of place where you can take photos of people in the outhouse!!!! Fun!!! They also had a small petting zoo area. And a giant pumpkin field. We left the nut farm and hit the road, back to Los Angeles. But there was ONE MORE SURPRISE……… Castle Park in Riverside. Another local park that The Bebes have never been! Park Map Castle Park was actually a really cute little park with a pretty good arrangement of flat rides and three rollercoasters. Our 3rd credit of the trip: Screamin’ Demon, a spinning mouse coaster. Fun! Next up: The Cornerstone of Caste Park, Merlin’s Revenge rollercoaster. It’s a smaller family coaster, but it’s their big one! Also Fun! The Bebes love the spider! What’s this doing on the train tracks? I better move it so the train can get through. Bebe, Noooooooooooooo! Another Little Dipper kiddie coaster gave us our 5th new credit of the trip. Lady Bebe was upset that the Tilt-a-Whirl was closed. Mr. Bebe was upset that the Big Wheel was….. GONE??? We headed into the Arcade for the Ghost Blasters ride, a shoot-the-target dark ride where Lady Bebe always wins. But not this time! Mr. Bebe WINS 1140 – 0!!!! Lady Bebe is unimpressed. Sure, her laser gun was broken, but Mr Bebe still WON! Eat your heart out, Big Mike! Castle Park ROCKED! Uproar Fest ROCKED!!! And Secret Trip 2010 ROCKED!!!!!

Of the 950+ credits that the big man has, The Bebes have 3 others???!!!!!! Wow!!!!!

Awwwww...... Thanks guys!!!!

MONDAY May 29, 2010 New Zealand Rainbow’s End In 2008, Lady Bebe’s Mommy passed away. She had been to New Zealand and had always talked of returning some day and bungee jumping off the Auckland Harbour Bridge. So, in 2010, the Bebes planned a trip to the land of rainbows to honor Mommy by taking her ashes with us and spreading them into the harbour while bungee jumping. Mr. Bebe plugged his nose, as if he were jumping into a swimming pool. We also did a lot of other neat things, such as a trip to a Maori Village (native Polynesian New Zealanders) for a history lesson and a feast. We took a journey down to the city of Rotorua and the Wai-O-Tapu Geo-thermal preserve, an area of incredible volcanic activity. We went underground cave tubing through the Glow Worm caves of Waitomo. After negotiating the cave to the lair of the glow worm, we shut off our headlamps and calmly floated along the underground passage enjoying the light show on the cavern ceiling. INCREDIBLE! We took a trip to the West Coast and went Canyoning. We trekked about a mile into a rain forest and followed a small river, jumping off falls into pools below, and rappelling down 100ft waterfalls. We visited Rangitoto, New Zealands largest dormant Volcanic Island, and climbed to the summit. We also visited the Zoo, Aukland Museum, Goat Island Marine Preserve, and Tiri Tiri Matangi Island, an open bird sanctuary housing 12 species of bird and three reptiles that cannot be found anywhere else in the world!!!! And, of course, what kind of TPR people would we be if we traveled all the way to the Southern Hemisphere and didn’t visit New Zealands ONLY theme park (and three rare credits)! So, we grabbed a bus and headed to Manikau City Center (quite a ride from Downtown Auckland). What’s that off in the distance???!!!!! A drop ride!!!!! We must be close!!!! Rainbow’s End. That way! Right next to…… The Cemetery????!!!!! Whatever! We made it to our first Theme Park ever in the Southern Hemisphere!!! We went in and purchased our all-day ride wristbands. Park Map. Relatively small park, with some decent theming and an OK crop of rides. Since it was a very slow day, they were operating with an unusual schedule where half the rides would operate at a time, for about 45 minutes, and then the other half. Alternating throughout the day. This forced us to consider our route, to ensure we got the three credits we came for!!! Sooooooo, which way do we go? Which way do we go? We hit their newest ride, Invader. Good fun on these things, but I think the smaller versions actually provide a better ride. Smack dab in the center of Power Surge were plastic bins for personal items. I don’t know how safe it is to have these here, but it was nice to not be charged for fluffy fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo. Then it was on to the big coaster at Rainbow’s End! The aptly named: ROLLERCOASTER There has long been debate on the color Indigo in the Rainbow, and I believe it was removed from the colours of the rainbow in the 80’s. But Rainbow’s End chose to remove the Green Car and keep Indigo. Those Kiwi’s are such rebels!!!! The Rollercoaster has a loop…. …And a corkscrew. No Trip Report would be complete without a Lady Bebe pee-break. There was a nice looking log flume, but we passed on it, since it was a little bit chilly out. FYI: Late May in New Zealand is similar to Halloween in San Francisco, 60ish during the day and 50ish at night. We saw this Knott’s flyer on the back side of a western themed building! WTF! Does anybody know anything about this??? Credit #2 was Goldrush, a nicely themed indoor runaway mine-train ride. We rode it three times. Nice Ride!!! With theming!!!! What’s that?! We totally have to get some of those sweet looking fries!!! Hunger’s End (aptly named) has them!!!! EXCELLENT!!! But they are closed. BOGUS!!! Hunger continues… … But not for long. We went to a different, nearby eatery for some bacon cheese fries. The bacon in New Zealand is more like ham, and the cheese is always white. MMMMmmmmmmm. Use some Kiwi Style Tomato Sauce if you’d like. In the States we call it Ketchup. FYI - Kiwi has three meanings: a) slang for the People of New Zealand. b) an endangered bird of the ostrich family only found on the islands of New Zealand. c) A sub-tropical fruit native to New Zealand. So, if you ever say you want to “eat a Kiwi”, make sure everyone knows EXACLTY what you’re are talking about! Mr. Bebe crams the cheesy bacon fries into his head. Toooo much cheesy bacon fries!!!! Off to Cadbury land (kiddie land). Cadbury is the most common brand of chocolate in New Zealand, with many varieties that we don’t see in the States. Kid Tums approved?? Credit #3!!! Dragon’s Flight. Doh! The Bebes have encountered this rule before, and Mr. Bebe employs his charm to persuade parents to let their children ride with the Bebes. What’s Lady Bebe doing??? Did she find a kid to ride with her??? Yup. Mr. Bebe. The ride ops were very accommodating and told us that since it wasn’t busy, we could ride! SCORE! Remember kids, keep a look-out while stealing from the cookie jar. Lady Bebe loves ice cream! On her face. Mr. Bebe REALLY loves ice cream. On his face. Rainbow’s End is quite small, and doesn’t really have anything stand-out, but we managed to keep ourselves entertained. We finished up our icy treats and bid farewell to Rainbow’s End!!! The Bebes LOVED New Zealand (North Island) and look forward to returning to visit the South Island!!!! Ka Ora!

The Bebes will be at WCB SFMM!!!!!!
