The Disneylander Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Excellent TR. Terminator really does run better at night. But I have to point out...you know that you're supposed to store stuff INSIDE the l.o.c.k.e.r.s, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 What a great TR, I'm glad Justin got his creds. I know I had a similar experience at GL a few years back, where Head Spin made me green, but I had to keep on riding, as all the coasters there were creds for me. How is the pretzel loop compared to the vertical loop on the Vekoma Flyers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bebes Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Disneylander- LOL! Yeah, we're too cheap to pony up a buck for a locker everytime we go on a ride. We thought we found a great hiding place for them while we rode Tatsu, but a park monitor must have seen us stash them and disposed of them! As for the Tatsu vs S:UF pretzel loop - NO CONTEST. S:UF's pretzel loop is like a kiddie coaster compared to Tatsu. Haven't ridden Manta, but it looks about the same as Tatsu. As for the Tatsu vs Vekoma Flyer - NO CONTEST. Replace S:UF with Vekoma Flyer above and read out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoasters Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 That's funny, I too don't like the pay for the ride lockers and have lost a few souvenir bottles in the process. I don't want to bring a bunch singles like I'm going to a strip club everytime I go to a Six Flags park. I probably have lost more money in missing souvenir bottles than I would have if I paid for lockers regularly. We did use a locker for the first time on Batman our last visit, I thought it was a waste of money and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itnotfair Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hello, Bebes! I'm glad you guys have crowned Tatsu as the king of flyers! I always enjoy its intensity, but I haven't ridden any others to compare it to. As for that type "A" guy in the X2 line...that's my Dad. Not really. Looking forward to your next TR!

The Bebes Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) TPR Termination Day June 28, 2009 This isn’t the trip report your mother warned you about….. . 2AM. Lady Bebe can rest now that the future of mankind is secure. Or is it…….. Justin shows his remorse for scoring his 15th lap, while Lady Cyborg rubs it in!!! Mission complete. 11:30PM. After a ride together, Mr. Bebe and PackfanLV stepped off the train. There was nobody lined up in the row that Lady Cyborg and Justin were in, so they stayed on. There was nobody lined up in the row that Shawn Reece and Jasmine were in, so THEY stayed on. Shawn and I franticly looked for an empty seat. Nope. The train was COMPLETELY full. Last train of the night. Goodbye family and friends!!! Enjoy your extra lap without us!!!!! The audio was broken in one of the trains, so every time the Bebes rode it, Mr. Bebe took it upon himself to recreate the audio for the entire train: “This is our war…Dah dah daht dah-daht….Here They Come!….Take the Tunnel! This is our salvation. OOOOO Heeyeah OOOO OOOOO Heeyah…” OK. Time out. A TPR member (or guest) actually puked on T:S and we had to suspend our ERT to clean it up. I’m Seriously. 10PM. We infiltrate the wooden structure for the last time. Victory would be ours. Unless Lady Bebe turned out to be a Lady Cyborg in our presence!!!! Miles Bennett Dyson selects a seat near the sexbox We headed toward X2 again, hoping to gain some insight. From afar, we noticed Mechanic and his group had barely escaped capture on X2. Finally we made it to the platform. We noticed remnants of X (or just a mistake on the sign) Transport full of renegades departing Empty transport toward the entrance 8PM. Time to return to the compound Should we continue with the Wood references? … then gets mad when he smacks her across the face with it. Like usual, Lady Bebe gives Mr. Bebe wood…. Thanks for the shelter, great party and super event, Alveys!!!! Robb gave Mr. Bebe and Justin wood Stalkerazzi photo Robb passed out nifty TPR pens for a special Terminator: Salvation version of TPR Trivia. There were videos in the awesome theater, billiards and suicide hot wings! There was shuffleboard, swimming, and pizza!!! 3PM. We reached the Alvey shelter, where there just-so-happened to be a TPR party. The Bebes scored a brand new credit on this kiddie coaster. Does Jeff Johnson count this? Justin scaled the Wall, AND no up-charge for this one!!!! A quick spin on Escalator: The Ride Lady Bebe Takes The Tunnel So it was off to the mall to kill some time before heading to the Alvey shelter. Unsure if the mall was secure, Lady Bebe camouflaged herself amongst the scenery. After determining that the coast was clear, we set out to see if the Mall could ever compare to SFMM???? “I’ll Be Back. And stronger than EVAR” The Bebes spotted IloveRides David and Hillary Duff errr Brittany leaving the compound. 1PM. As we left the lunch area, Mr. Bebe peeked through an open “employees only” gate to see this: A Skynet spy perhaps? Doh! Lady Bebe put an end to the shenanigans Mr. Bebe used the Popsicle sticks for all sort of shenanigans Justin got served Eat your heart out, Big Mike! We also ate dessert!!!! Popsicles and Ice Cream sandwiches We ate Chicken, BBQ brisket, rolls, salad, potato salad, corn, and mashed potatoes. Tweety bird joined the resistance. It was clear that we could finally relax. 12PM. The resistance regrouped and refueled. Our orders: Protect Yourselves. A shelter would be made available at 3PM. A second attack would commence at 10PM. Good luck soldiers. In order to gather a better look at the machines that had overrun the wooden structure, we ascended the nearby Déjà Vu structure. We ascended the nearby Déjà Vu structure. Word had come across the loudspeaker that there might be a mole among us. JustinJJ spotted it on Mr. Bebes face and Whacked it. Finally, our mission was showing some promise. The renegades had not yet discovered this quadrant. We used the transport to complete 5 parsecs. We rushed toward X2 only to find that the renegades had already taken over the queue line. Max Capacity. Everyone separated. The Bebes, along with JustinJJ, decided to try Scream. The future was looking bleak. Lady Bebe prayed for us. Time was essential. If we didn’t make it there in 10 minutes, it would be overrun with renegades. We headed toward the rear path, which would take us around past Tatsu only to be stopped by a sentry. We made a mad dash up the steep backside hill, passing a Ninja and toward the steps leading down the summit toward the rapids. Another blockade. We would have to wait for the Orient Express transport. 10:30AM. We may be too late. We regrouped with Mechanic John (not Connor), PackfanLV Shawn and his soldiers Shawn Reece & Jasmine outside of the old wooden structure. A new plan was made: X2. We struck 5 times, but the Harvester proved to be too much for us. At 10:20am, we aborted. Calicoasters Cody and Sarah joined our freedom fight Resistance leader Alvey supplied the troops with their gear. Reconnaissance says that machines were spotted in the rear of the compound, somewhere near an old wooden structure. 9AM. We’re in. JustinJJ scouted the area ahead of us and obtained TPR ID Badges & cyborg camouflage We encountered some hostile activity at the main gate, but were able to infiltrate anyway The resistance fighters outfitted themselves for battle. Season Pass: Check. Confirmation: Check. Image Capturing Device: Check. It’s a go. 7AM. The alarm sounded.

Big Mike Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Awesome report again Bebes!!! I am telling you, you guys have a real knack for producing some really funny trip reports!! Readers, make sure when you are reading you don't miss that last picture with the blinking red eye, I almost missed it and that is a solid ending!! I can't believe you hung out with all the cool Valuable Big Mike Readers like Shawn and family, Cody and his girlfriend, and John! I REALLY can't wait for West Coast Bash already lol. The West Coast people are all so awesome! So, I admit, I am scrolling down reading the story as it goes along and I get to the Lady Bebe picture and I just stop scrolling and I say out loud, "wow, she looks F-in great in that picture". Now, people that know me know that I don't swear at all really, so you know the picture must have been waaaaaaaay good for me to say that! Then I scroll down and see "Big Mike eat your heart out" and laughed my butt off! VERY FUNNY!!! I often sit at Big Mike World Headquarters with the higher ups contemplating how we can secure the top spot in TPR history and we always talk about threads that may sneak up and catch us. The higher ups say that will never happen as The Big Mike Road Show is too damn good to beat, but I have an uneasy feeling in my stomach that The Bebes are even better! Good thing I got a huge head start Peace, Big Mike Saved it to my computer before I even read the comment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveRides Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Sounds exciting! Hillary and I are planning a literally identical trip, but probably not til next summer (we're hoping to line it up with bay area bash, assuming that becomes an annual event). So I can't wait to see your trip reports. Have fun! Oh, and as far as getting all the credits, I'm pretty sure Invertigo at California's Great America is closed after the little fiasco they had. But good luck with all the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Have fun Bebes! I wish I could come out and meet up with you, but this little thing called work will prevent that. As for dining choices, I would like to suggest Caffe Lucio in Santa Cruz. It's almost more of a show than a restaurant. I can almost guarantee you won't forget the experience any time soon.

The Bebes Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hillary and I... LOL!!!!! David, Glad to see you've finally embraced the "Hillary". Does Brittany know she's being referred to as Hillary Duff? What does she think of that? Hillary & I are hoping to line up (our similar trip next summer) with bay area bash, assuming that becomes an annual event. Yeah, we had planned our trip around our work schedule & wish it worked out that we could have went to Bay Area Bash with TPR. We were also hoping that Robb might part out some individual days on West Coast Trip, but he didn't. as far as getting all the credits, I'm pretty sure Invertigo at California's Great America is closed after the little fiasco they had. I guess you're right. It seems that the ride will be shut down for a few months. I didn't realize that it was that big of a deal. I figured it would be down a day or two. On the bright side, at least it's a clone ride that we've ridden a similar model of. -Mr. Bebe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itnotfair Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 OMG how did I miss your Termination Day TR?? That was genius! Hope you kids have a great time during your Bay Area shenanigans! If you're looking for some tasty food at SFDK, we had some surprisingly good ribs towards the back of the park by the lake (towards the shark exhibit).
