The Bebes Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 TRES! OLE!!! The trip was called The Bebes' Rollercoaster Tour: Part TRES (spanish for THREE). So instead of devil horns or peace signs, we flashed a crazy three fingered salute and axclaimed: "TRES, OLE!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bebes Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) DAY 4: Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Wednesday August 18, 2009 & DAY 5: Monterey Bay Thursday August 19, 2009 After bidding farewell to Gilroy Gardens at around 4pm, we hopped in the Jellybean and headed out through the twisty mountains on a journey toward the Pacific Coast. And after stuffing ourselves silly, we hopped in the Jellybean for the long 5 hour ride home. Thus putting an end to TPT:P3 (Theme Park Tour: Part Tres) and our 2009 Theme Parks. See you again in 2010!!!! Mr. Bebe rocks out with some crab. Walter followed us from the Lighthouse Lodge and joined us for lunch. How nice! Is that Walter down there??? “Hey Walter! Up here!” There were sea lions sunbathing on rocks in the bay. This was our AWESOME view from our table. The aquarium was NOT the best we’ve been to by a long shot and definitely NOT worth $30 (in our opinion). Another coupon opportunity brought us to Fish Hopper for lunch. Lady Bebe is a rebel. The sign says: “Please don’t flash the octopus.” LOVES ‘EM!!! Lady Bebe LOVES seahorses. We had an opportunity to get REALLY CLOSE to this injured Albatross as they transported it to a demonstration. Sweet!!! Lady Bebe insisted there were sharks, but Mr. Bebe never saw any. Hi Fishy!!!! Admission to the aquarium is a steep $30 per person, and we couldn’t find any discount coupons anywhere. But some guy approached us as we were heading toward the box office and offered us his TWO DAY tickets (He had gone the previous day) FOR FREE!!! That’s a savings of $60. Thanks Dude!!! Now that we are tipsy, it’s time to hit the aquarium. We went directly to A Taste of Monterey, where we had a coupon to try four different wines for $5. Yummy. Bull Wacker’s. tee hee!!! We checked out and headed for Cannery Row. Our plan: A little wine tasting, Monterey Bay aquarium, and lunch. There’s our room from the outside and our PRIMO parking spot. This seagull sat by the window watching everyone eat. He pecked at the glass a few times. We named him Walter. The spread. Breads, danishes, cereal, some scrambled eggs and sausage. In the morning, they served a deluxe continental breakfast in the clubhouse by the heated pool and Jacuzzi. We stayed at a boutique place called the Lighthouse Lodge. This was our room. It was OK. We got in really late and went right to bed. Farewell Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk! We had a great time and will definitely return. Now it’s off to Monterey for the night! …By a LOT!!!! Guess who won??? It’s one of those ‘shoot the targets’ rides, where you compete for a high score There was a whole lot more at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk than we anticipated (most not included in this report). We finished our night at 11pm with Ghost Blasters. Lady Bebe and Puff pose for a picture. Credit #3: Dragon coaster We realized just how different a ride program can be on Fireball. Usually these rides rock back and forth more than they spin, but this one actually did quite a bit of spinning and it did it in very specific spots. Nice Ride. FYI - Wipeout at Knoebel’s was intense and forceful while the same ride at Waldameer was tame and forceless. “I think I might pee myself a little on this one.” Giant Dipper at night (Yes, we rode both day & night) The Bebes stole this on-ride photo. TRES OLE!!!! The dipper releases you into a really long, dark, winding tunnel before sending you up the lifthill and into the ride. It was quite smooth and full of great forces and nice airtime. This was a VERY GOOD wooden rollercoaster and finds a spot in our personal top 10. And with a fairly short line, we rode it numerous times in numerous seats. Always a good ride. The train on the Giant Dipper is obviously not an original train. It was quite comfy. Another informational sign Celebrating its’ 85th year of operation, making it the 6th oldest in the U.S. The walls were flooded with plaques and facts for this classic wooden coaster. We actually had a bit of trouble finding the entrance to the ride, but eventually we found it. Let’s head for credit #2, the main reason for our visit!!! SCBB’s Giant Dipper!!! Credit #1: Hurricane. It’s a strange steel coaster with three-car trains that sits on the rooftop of the arcade. The line was a bit lengthy and the ride was ho-hum, so we only rode once. Overview of the beachside park Special Pepsi Wristband Mr. Bebe: “I heard that I can turn in a Pepsi can and get an all-day ride pass for $10” Attendant: “ Where did you hear that?” Mr. Bebe: “It’s printed right here. On the Pepsi can. The Bebes are looking for three new credits here! About an hour and a half after leaving Gilroy Gardens, we arrived at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Welcome to Santa Cruz!

The park is definitley my favorite by a long shot. It has wonderful rides and good food - the Giant Dipper too! Thanks for the update, and I posted an update to my SCBB NEW Haunted Castle thread, if you're interested! ~Nicholas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 The more I go back and re-'look' at your trip reports and photos the more enjoyable they become. I like the perspective you have and some of the pics and comments are really funny. I look forward to a photo trip report from Disneyland or Cedar Point, and you have to bring back the find the ducky game in them too- make it harder and maybe offer some kind of crappy prize or something...lol. Thanks again Bebes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bebes Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 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!!!!!!

chickenbowl Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 My name is Jeremy. We talked on the lift and in the station. You told me you were from LA and I said I was from San Diego. We didn't talk long as the speakers are loud, but I didn't realize who I was talking too until my friend reminded me. haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bebes Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 ^^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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
