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

[The BebesDonkeys are my way of life!]

Hey Guys!

Part Deux starts in about a day!

We can still use some help. What rides tend to get the lines and what rides can we expect no lines. What are the best food choices in the parks and/or out of the parks. Any rides other than rollercoasters that are NOT TO MISS?

[the ghostIt all started with a donkey]

Have an awesome time Bebes

[TPDaveI know EXACTLY where my passport is!]

I'm sure you already know not to miss the flyers at Knobles!

Also, be sure to check out the Curse of DarKastle at BGE, it's a great ride (similar to Spiderman at IoA).

Have a great trip! It looks like you're going to have loads of fun!

[jbarner14I think Intamin should make a donkey!]

^^I'm pretty sure that those prices are for everyone or else they wouldn't put them up on their website.

TPDave,

For a moment, I thought you were telling me not to miss the Flying Turns at Knoebels (which definately won't be open this week). Arrg!

Also, it seems StormRunner might very well still be closed at HersheyPark, which bums me out. That was one of the rides I was most looking forward to!

Wood Dragon:

I have read alot that G&M has gone way downhill since an ownership change. Do you know anything about that?

[MeteornotesKeeper Of The Carnivorous Bees!]

^As a MD/Baltimore resident, I think G&M is vastly overrated, and was unimpressed the last time I was in there. I had no idea it was sold, but that makes sense.

If you tell me your schedule and where you're going to be in MD, I can probably recommend some places to get tasty crab cakes.

I had no idea they were sold, but haven't eaten at the restaurant since 2005. I like them so much I have gotten them delivered to my house in the past few years, and still think they taste great. I just prefer crab cakes with little to no "filler" or "mustardy taste" and G&M to me is almost 100% crab and nothing else. If you prefer Maine style crab cakes or more traditional Maryland style crab cakes even, you may not like them.

we will be passing through Baltimore on our way from SFGAdv to Washington DC after SFGAdv has closed (see our schedule on pg1), so it will likely be pretty late by the time we get into MD.

Any recommendations around the DC area???

Hey everyone!

It’s Day Five of The Bebes Theme Park Tour: Part Deux, or as we’ve been referring to it, TPTP Deux, and we’ve just now gotten around to putting some of our TRs together. Riding roller coasters is exhausting stuff!

We hope to post the Day 1 stuff tomorrow, but until then we wanted to share a little mini adventure that we had the day before TPTP Deux officially kicked off.

We spent most of the day Sunday packing and preparing for our trip when we decided that we wanted to take a quick trip to SFMM for our 97th credit, Terminator Salvation! We read that the park was open till 10pm that night and we pulled up to the gate around 8:15pm and there was a sign saying that the park was closing at 9pm. So we ran!! We got in line, no problem, and waited… For an hour and a half.

We went through the first 2 pre-show areas and kinda missed what was going on before going to the third pre-show area. We were taking some photos and watching the video when we realized that a lady behind us was having a seizure. A lady from further back in line came running up, we assumed she was a nurse, and one of the employees called for the medic and there wasn’t anything else anyone could do except just watch this lady seizing. It was so surreal. One of the guys she was with just very calmly told us that she had epilepsy and that she was having a reaction to the flashing lights. He was so calm and we were just standing there with our mouths gaping. And then we got ushered into the station and, needless to say, we can’t tell you anything about the pre-show. As we were entering the station, one of the employees looked back and said, “Oh, is she seizing?” and went back to help. The way he said it, it made us feel like this had happened before. And the ride had only been open for three days. So, if you have epilepsy, skip the pre-shows! We weren’t able to find out what happened with her, but we hope that she is okay!!

And then, finally, we got to ride Terminator Salvation. And it is FAST!! We were both very pleasantly surprised at how much we liked it. We were worried that it didn’t have a big drop and it seemed to be short, but what it lacks in those areas, it makes up with speed, smoothness and airtime! We couldn't hear much of the audio but we did hear, "TAKE THE TUNNEL!!" and we both started cracking up! The only complaint we have is that we couldn’t go on it again. When we get home, we’re really looking forward to riding it another dozen or so times! And we especially hope that next time everyone gets through the line safely.


Coming up next: Day One of The Bebes Theme Park Tour: Part Deux

Will we be able to get to Pittsburgh in time to make a mad dash to Waldameer and ride Ravine Flyer II??
