You are correct, it is Superior! For the Not So Epic game: Just to keep it simple and easier to understand, we will stick to it actually has to be a ride that you can get on and ride. You can go to any park or parks that you want, no restrictions. You can post as many times as needed, so if you post a pic with 10 girls and then lo and behold, a few weeks later you see a bus full of cheerleaders, you can improve your count until the deadline. Any more quesions, let hear them! Peace, Big Mike

Now on to the new Find the Ducky game from Train Town!!! Big Mike has been waiting to get back to Train Town for quite a while now! The Dragon coaster at Train Town has managed to avoid Big Mike in two previous visits. The first visit resulted in the park being opened, but only the front half of the park with the train ride, but not the rides. The 2nd trip resulted in Big Mike getting stuck in too much traffic and not making it to the park until after closing. Two strikes, one more and Big Mike is out. Let's see how things turned out this time! This is a FIND THE DUCKY GAME!!! Try to find all the hidden duckies in this report and post how many you found after reading. Do not give away the hiding places! Good luck to all as there are many fantastic draft picks still available and it only takes ONE correct ducky guess to claim the Grand Prize!!! The deadline for this ducky game is next Saturday at midnight, Aug 25th. Peace, Big Mike Special guest Mr. Bebe displays today's ducky that you are looking for, a train ducky at Traintown!!! Remember, this ducky picture does not count towards your total! Good luck! TRAIN TOWN! Open daily! Remember though as Big Mike has learned, having the park open does not mean the coaster is running, just the train. Call ahead! A nice touch, railroad guard arms that come down when the park is closed. Prices of the rides. Train price and a description of the ride. Train Town won an award for Best Family Outing in Sonoma! That is pretty impressive realizing that Sonoma Raceway is right up the road! Big Mike is delighted to ride the train this time after passing on it the first time in protest. The train. Inside of train. There are also many other trains at the park, and are all just a turntable away. Closer look. A sneak peak inside the train shed. Most of the track is hidden behind this tunnel, so lets see how awesome this train ride really is. We are through the tunnel, let the adventure begin! Lakes and bridges. More tunnels. Lots of woods to travel through. Midway through the ride, we pull into a wild west town. It's time to check out the town while the train fills up with more water. Bonus petting zoo at the stop. Megan feeding the animals as California Cool Kid is hanging nearby. You can see the coaster credit off in the distance. One of the building in this western town is a store. There is also a school. There is a jail too and that's where Big Mike found himself after teasing California Cool Kid. There is also an outhouse. When you have to go, you have to go! "All aboard!!" Time to go but can anyone guess which 1 of these 13 places that Big Mike has NOT visited? A nice surprise at the end of the trip if you are as talented as Big Mike, you can take a picture of yourself if you have perfect timing! Once off the train, it is time to check out the rides. Ride tickets. Carousel. Chatanooga Choo Choo Chair Ride! Ferris Wheel! Scrambler! Notice the rail road crossing on top in the middle. Planes! No jerking off! Dragon Train!! Overview. This is the Dragon laughing at Big Mike since the Dragon came out victorious over The Big Man in two prior visits. Here is the seat and I think Big Mike may get the final laugh today! PVC pipe wrap on the handles for extra comfort. Megan doesn't seem as excited as Big Mike that he is moments away from finally defeating the Dragon once and for all! Big Mike is though!!! Coaster collected #1148! Bahahaha! The Dragon managed to escape Big Mike's grasp the first time, and dodged the bullet the second time, but as everyone knows, Big Mike will always come collecting sooner or later! Moral of the story, nobody beats The Mighty Big Man! Now that business has been taken care of, time to check out some trains like this restaurant train. These are real trains! You can walk inside and walk through all the cars. This car had video games. This car had high seats that Megan enjoyed! That's a quick look at Train Town everybody, hope you enjoyed! Just one piece of business to take care of before we leave. Big Mike takes it personally when he is defeated by a coaster, especially twice, so Big Mike just wanted to make sure the Dragon knew who is #1! Sir Gooney's coaster in Tennessee, another multi time defeater, your next buddy! How many duckies did everyone find????? Peace, Big Mike

Hello Valuable Big Mike Readers! Ask for something and Big Mike is right there with the answer!! Well after a ducky game that had no winners whatsoever, this time it was too easy and every single person but one won this time. The correct answer was indeed 10. Big Mike has updated the draft board and it is 100% complete up to this second!! Check out page #1. Also, many duckies have been found over the past few weeks!! Below are all the ducky hunters and the official results on if the duckies were good ducky finds! Big Mike also added 4 new ducky hiding spots!! If you are traveling to any of these following parks, there are still duckies waiting to be found! DENO'S WONDER WHEEL IN CONEY ISLAND NEW YORK (Reported missing, need a 2nd opinion) HAPPY HOLLOW IN CALIFORNIA ROTARY STORYLAND IN CALIFORNIA FUNDERLAND IN CALIFORNIA (Reported missing, need a 2nd opinion) KIWANI'S KIDDIELAND IN CALIFORNIA BUSCH GARDENS IN VIRGINIA BAY BEACH IN WISCONSIN MT. OLYMPUS IN WISCONSIN TIMBER FALLS IN WISCONSIN KNUCKLEHEADS IN WISCONSIN LITTLE AMERRICKA IN WISCONSIN CASINO PIER IN NEW JERSEY Check out this link for the above hiding spots: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1206620#p1206620 15 draft picks if you plan a trip to Wisconsin!!!!! Finally, Big Mike is ready to unveil the Semi Final and Final round of the Not So Epic Contest!!! These four players are now ready to compete to see who will be crowned Grand Champion: HighRoller Arosania ahecht and coreys junk! These next two rounds will be more difficult and will need some effort, but in the end, being the Grand Prize winner will be worth it! Since the Final round will take the most effort, Big Mike will announce it AT THE SAME TIME as the Semi Final round so you can get a head start! SEMI FINAL ROUND: The object of the Semi Final round is to get as many girls in one picture each holding a sign that says "We Love Big Mike"! There cannot be any guys in the picture and the picture has to be taken with any kind of ride in the background. The two people who have the most girls in a picture advance to the Finals!! If there is a tie, whoever posted first will be the leader. Example - Someone posts 5, then the next person needs to post 6. You can keep topping each other or wait until the deadline with a surprise attack. The deadline will be when Big Mike gets back from the TPR China trip somewhere around September 23rd! Big Mike will post the Semi Final round is closed as soon as he lands and gets internet access! The Final round between the last two people in the contest can start right now also, but cannot be posted until after Big Mike gets back from China! In the Final Round, you need to take a picture in front of as many ride name signs as you need with a "Big Mike is #1" sign in order to get every letter in the alphabet represented! The player that fills all 26 letters in the fewest pictures will be declared Grand Champion. Again, if there is a tie, the 1st person to post will be the winner! Example - ""El Toro" would take care of the letters E,L,T,O,and R. Get all 26 letters in the fewest pictures and you will be the Champion! Deadline is as soon as your post reads November so that you can continue to improve through the Halloween events! Good luck to all! Here is a list of the upcoming draft choices, sre is now on the clock! 68. sre - (Round 4 ducky win) - 69. orangecats2 (Round 4 ducky win) - 70. picknyourseat (Round 4 ducky win) - 71. simitacable (Round 4 ducky win) - 72. adamico (Round 4 ducky win) - 73. sspaz1000 (Round 4 ducky win) - 74.
