*** THE BEBES *** YOLO-Coaster Update

[The BebesDonkeys are my way of life!]

Congratulations. This is quite an achievement considering how notoriously unreliable coasters can be at US parks.

Thanks Ginzo!

Some notable near misses:

- Phoenix was closed due to the weather; opened after about 3hrs
- StormRunner hadn't operated all season til the day we got there
- StormRunner didn't open for several hours on Day 2 at HP
- StormRunner denied us a backseat ride due to weather on Day 2 at HP
- Kingda Ka re-opened after a two week hiatus just for us
- A broken El Toro opened as we approached it
- El Toro broke again while we were in the station for it
- Superman:Ride of Steel closed for the day a couple hours after we rode
- We were ushered off of Volcano on Day 1 at KD due to weather
- Every ride in the park closed due to weather on Day 1 at KD
- Hurler didn't open for a few hours on Day 2 at KD
- Apollo's Chariot closed due to weather as we got to the station
- Apollo's Chariot broke right after we finished our lap
- Lightning threatened our last credit on Grover's Alpine Express

Yeah, we were really lucky!!!

Great final installment, but I'm sooooo sad it's over!

My husband is a frequent bathroom break person, too. I am inspired by your report to take photos of all of his bathroom breaks on our next trip!

Thank you for taking the time to put this together and allowing us to share in the fun!

Congratulations on such an epic trip!

Can we look forward to part Trois next year?

And would you be down for Big Mike style meetups or do you like to keep it "vacation style"?

Thanks Emiroo and MOinAB!

You can look forward to a Part Tres THIS AUGUST! We are planning a Bay Area trip that will include Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, California's Great Adventure, Gilroy Gardens, and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk!

In addition, we have trip reports for SFMM and Termination Day in the wings, plus we may have a "special" wrap up style report for TPT:P2.

We would love to meet up with other members along our adventures. Just let us know!

Well I am glad the whole trip ended on a positive note, Lady Bebe did not get molested!


Looking forward to reading each and every trip report for the rest of your lives!


Peace, Big Mike

[TikifireCan I park my donkey here?]

Thanks for the awesome TR's guys. Your photos made me want to get out to some of the parks I haven't been to in years.

[eagleshotI Love Donkeys!]

Thanks for the GREAT Park recap! I can't wait until I take my PA park tour at the end of July. Since you have experienced both knoebels, Hershey, Waldameer and Kennywood. Which 2 parks do you recormend us to visit?

And, I also noticed you where not that enthused with Farenheit and Stormrunner. Those where two coasters that I was very interested in riding. With that said, I can't wait to experience the coasters at Knoebels. Please let me know which coasters in PA are MUST rides.

[MechanicCan you see the donkey in my toast?]

Absolutely fantastic trip report! I look forward to many more from the Bebes.

Actually, we REALLY liked Stormrunner and Fahrenheit! Fahrenheit was one of our favorites of the entire trip!

As far as which two of the four parks you should visit... that's a tough question.

We would say DEFINITELY go to Knoebels! It is different than any other park we've been to and we both agree that it ranks up in our top favorite parks of all time. Phoenix has out-of-control air-time (make sure to check out the 3rd row), the Flyers are SCARY FUN and don't miss the bumper cars (best ever)!!

As for the other pick, we're struggling between Hershey and Kennywood. If it's big coasters and a lot of them that you are after, Hershey is the way to go! Besides Stormrunner & Fahrenheit, other notable coasters are Lightening Racers and Great Bear.
But, if you're more into charm and history, Kennywood is that place. Phantom's Revenge is AWESOME and Jack Rabbit was built in 1921 and has the craziest single moment of air-time ever (make sure to sit in the back)!
Both are great parks and I'm sure you'll love either one!!

The only other "must ride" (in our opinion) in PA would be Ravine Flyer II at Waldameer.

Have fun and we look forward to finding out which parks you decided to visit!

[STR8FXXXINEDGEJar-Jar Binks smells like Donkey]

Your TR's are just so much damn fun!

The last 3 parks that you guys visited, I also just visited on my trip.
It's cool to compare the similarities and differences in our visits, even though they were so close together.
You guys had rain. I had BLAZING hot heat and crazy high humidity! I can't decide which is worse.

I enjoy your TR's thoroughly, and will be keeping an eye out for any new TR's from the Bebe's.

Thanks again for sharing!

[rollin_n_coastinDon't put that donkey on the floor!]

Wow, just an awesome trip report! It's obvious how much you enjoyed doing this. Thanks for sharing! I've had similar experiences with people I've gone with and that urge to pee at all times lol

Grazie e tantissimi auguri!
