Hey Guy, Rich didn't pass out on Mindbender. Rich doesn't know why. Maybe just not as intense as stupid lazer. Rich also liked Cyclone and thought it had more ejector air thatn Goliath. Rich didn't love Goliath like he thought he would. And it took Rich almost 1 hour to get chinese food as well. Rich thinks Rich's experience was similar to Guy's, without the bum raping.

You are? WHY? What is wrong with you?

Monster Plantation...Big Mike's favorite dark ride. And you got a little of me jamming to Shannon's song....if only I had known you were taping.

Good Suff Rick, but don't be hating on the vest that I bought while in Japan. Everything from Japan is cool....even the vest. Which as unsexy as it is, I don't have to store any loose articles beeyotch!

Being at a park for only three hours while trying to get all the credits and stuff? I dunno

Come on, that's not fair. SRoS has forces. El Toro has forces. Hydra, well, 2 out of 3

Air is my favorite flyer. Don't hate on it.

I have already gotten into SFOG on my regular pass, so that theory is out....

What the hell is that? SFNE doesn't have that.....just one option....a Season Pass. More importantly, does that mean I couldn't attend?

We rode in the backseat champ

Is the season pass event open to all passes or just Great Adventures?

"$3 a ticket times 2 tickets equals 6 bucks. Fuck you, I am not paying $6 for a kiddie coaster" Rich says. Big Mike said "OK, see ya!" I love how Big Mike gets away with using swears in the main forum! His original post doesn't say "fudge you".

I had actually asked the ride op if he would only do one lap for me as I didn't want to do six. He said if he took his foot off the pedal, the coaster would stop midcourse and I would be stuck there. Yea, no thanks. Thanks for the free tickets Mike.

Refresh my memory, what was the "When is he gonna stop talking" about? sounds like something I would say.

Thanks for the compliment and reiterating my opinion Justin. And Lou, you can find a few in the Beemerboy TR. I figured there was enough self indulgence going on, I didn't need to add to it And you're not the first to comment on Europe. Start a pool, I'd love to go. I can't believe your not doing China though!!!

It beats giving Six Flags anymore money for lockers

Didn't think of that though he damn near sunk the Monster Plantation boat. I don't think it was meant to be a splash boat ride.....but it was where I was sitting.

Was there any doubt?

Big Mike on the Mike...seems like a theme for the day. Too funny man.

Come on guys, this isn't a Thunderhead discussion....it's a Big Mike thread. Surely you have nice or not so nice things to say about him?!

Jeff, I commented on Tornado afterwards and liked it a lot actually....I just didn't have pictures of it, so I forgot to add my assessment of it. And I have also not been on Ozark yet.

Yea, I guess I did forget to mention TN Tornado. I actually had more fun on that than I did any other coaster at Dollywood. And as far as Thunderhead, its just not my type of ride. It was fast and always changing direction. I need something with air. We sat in the back and it did nothing for both Big Mike or me.

I may not have been clear with the credits...we did get all the credits from both Dollywood and SFOG.

So I think most everyone knows Big Mike, for good or bad. Those who don't sure will now. He let me tag along with him to attend SFOG's Spring Fling and hit up Dollywood and other random credits for a couple of days. **This should have been right after the first Acrophobia picture, but I screwed up.** Look at that, they weren't kidding. Thanks Mike for the meet up. I had fun. It was also nice to meet other cool TPR members. LARRY > BIG MIKE. LOL!!! You rike my shirt? That number will be at 4,000 by the end of the week! So at the end of the night we watched a sneak peak video creation following the creation of Mystery Mine. Yes, we are still at SFOG. The producer was on hand to record feedback. So we egged Mike on to do it. He was reluctant until we told him how this was a great way to get even more face time and get his name out there to the masses. You know what happened next. I am more amused by Rick and Scott in the background than, well you know who. I think this is as close to fulfilling Mike's statement in his thread.....and I quote... "Come summer time, Big Mike will have these reports filled with hot babes in bikinis, sexy dress, and compromising positions!!!" Bob, don't expect him to follow through. He is too busy taking pictures of himself. Stay tuned for other TR's showing what happened next. I won't give it away, but rest assured we made him turn his shirt around to the correct way. Awwww, how cute. This mexican food joint (located in the french section of the park, not the spanish section) was our hangout for hours. Lather, rinse, repeat. Do you see a pattern developing? Rain....closed. Rain....closed. Rain....closed. "Bi Mike's" favorite dark ride...EVA. His words, not mine. One of the two credits Mike would not have gotten without me. The other being the Cyclone. He wanted to leave because the "yellow one" was open. Newsflash Mike, the Scorcher has been open all morning and we rode it already. Had he left me and gone to that, he wouldn't have gotten the credit. Shout out to the one of "many" Big Mike fans who IM'd him...you know who you are. Rick and Gyen in my favorite seat on the Cyclone...which I really enjoyed. But that's me I guess, liking coasters that no one else does like Hydra, Air, Nemesis Inferno. Did you know that Acrophobia is 20 feet taller than Godzilla? I didn't. Until that is, I read a sign in the queue. And Scott (Beemerboy) and his wife Shannon were there too! Kiddie credit time. A time where all TPR members come together. Front row is Rick (Coaster Palooza) and his wife Gyendolynee. Actually, it looks like Rick is sporting a mullet and a tail! Oh yea, and Mike :/ Initially I was going to make a coaster joke about Schwartzkopf making hair products instead of coasters, but I got a bigger kick out of what the ad actually says. Reminds me of Japan. Hey, I think there are people on this train. And the drop is not as long as it should be because there is a building right in the way that the track goes over. But unfortunately for me, it did not. It was quite a fun ride but did not provide the kickass airtime I thought it would. Maybe because it was cold. Maybe because of the trims. Oddly enough, I found better airtime in the middle than the front or back. It seemed more consistent and floater like. Not much in the way of ejector. I guess I should stick to Intamin for that. Yup, still on par for duplicating the experience. The station brings back memories of a cold and rainy Canadian night were empty train after train would leave the station and provide Balder-like airtime. Attention lift hill enthusiasts... Birdy is all, let them in to ride Goliath for crying out loud. I like this picture even though there is no one on the train.....BECAUSE THE PARK'S NOT OPEN YET. A rather tame helix unlike Nitro's which is fine by me as I have a low tolerance for high positive G's. Goliath is the main reason for the trip for me. I absolutely loved Goliath at LaRonde (when it was open ) so I had been trying to get down here to ride this one. Some of the Acers, who are unlike your friendly neighborhood themeparkreviewers. There is no train in this picture as the park wasn't open yet. Spring Fling, put on by ACE. Great event, too bad about the weather though. Had it not been for all of the morning ERT, we would only have a handful of credits. I think our group rode 6 rides in the last 10 or so hours of the day due to rain. Day 2: SFOG. My first time here as well, and I must say I was quite impressed. Again, very clean, polite staff, very efficient dispatching coasters. Just took me 45 minutes to get chinese food from the Panda Express restaurant though Ego? I don't have an ego. Taken outside of Nascar Park. All I know is we didn't belong as we have too many teeth. Oh, and Mike's second missed kiddie credit at Zuma Numa yea was closed too. I am sure he'll count it anyways just like Cool Rich would. So what's that now Big Mike, 4,000? Hey Larry, have you made it this far into this TR? If you have, keep reading, it gets better. "Hey Rich, do you mind taking pictures of me while I ride with all my fans?" No Mike, not at all. Too bad they don't know about your restraining order. Overcast, cool and not very crowded = walk on. Kinda cool log flume. Aww geez, the poor camera. Too bad it can't be the camera of doom. Should have been an aquatrax. New for 2008, crank and spray. "Upside down, bouncing off the ceiling. Inside out, stranger to this feeling. Got no clue, what I should do, I'd go crazy if I can't get next to you" Weeeeee. 90 degrees. Funny, this park reminds me exactly like Holiday World. Nice, pretty, clean, couple of good coasters. This place needs another 3 or 4 coasters in my opinion. Being a coaster site and all, I'll throw in a few coaster pics. How's that sound? Mystery Mine kicked my aska. Though it travels at a relatively slow speed throughout, I wasn't a fan of its joltyness (if that's a word). Cool theming and great idea. This is the type of ride that should be found in Disney parks. Figured since you haven't seen Big Mike in a few pictures I would add him in. Plus it spices up a shot everyone posts anyways. I gotta say, I didn't love Thunderhead. I prefer Troy over it, and Rumbler over both of them. So, just to recap, Thunderhead < Troy < Rumbler. Next stop, Dollywood. I didn't take many pictures here so don't expect many. Nice park, very clean, employees nice and helpful...especially when Big Mike talks in his Minnie Mouse voice. I am sure this has been posted here before, but I wasn't expecting to see it. I thought it was pretty rad. No big loss for me, but poor Mike. He almost cried. Not a good start on his way to number 3,500. Guess not. At least you didn't drive all the way to Canada for the credit Uh oh Mike, is today Saturday? Oh My God, you have to be kidding me! I rike an order of fry rice and you have ridden how many "COASTER"? LOL Wait, what the hell are you wearing??? The first stop of many side credits as Big Mike tries to get his 3,000th credit. So here's Mike driving like an old woman while reading one of his many fan's email sent to him. I browsed a few of them and lets just say, the content of some bear not repeating.

I would like to just say... Sir Gooney's credit....FAIL! Zuma credit.....DOUBLE FAIL!! He got Nascar......yippee. Didn't even try for Dixieland.......Lame. But thanks to me, he got all the credits at Dolly and SFOG....otherwise he would be two short ten at SFOG.
