Hey - I'm a lurker on the board, if for no better reason than that I don't have much time or opportunity to post. Normally, I'm known by my band name of "Big Mike", but it seems you've already got another famous resident with that name on this site.
Anyway, I'm writing from Michigan, home of Shivering Timbers... and from a coaster perspective, not much else. Maybe once the new park in Gaylord or the rumored park in Mt. Pleasant gets built...
Sadly, I'm probably among those with the lowest coaster count here (only 36), due to the fact that I am among America's "larger population"... meaning that there are quite a few rides I'm not able to fit on yet. Still, I'm well on my way (down from around 400 to 318 so far), and in the meantime I'm able to get my coaster fix from sites like this one - particularly this one!
When I'm not working or home, I'm out with one of my local bands playing bass guitar or singing. And although I fear it may be sacrilege on a board like this, I have to reluctantly admit that having a crowd into what we're doing provides even a bigger rush than any coaster I've been on thus far.
Love the site,
-The other "Big Mike"
