Big Mike

Thanks for the report! I go in Sept! Will probably be deader than now lol. Nice seeing you again Reed and Stacey! Seems like only yesterday I was giving Stacey my Halloween candy Peace, Big Mike

Hello again my Friends! This was going to be a long trip back to Big Mike Productions World Headquarters from Cedar Point if I did not make a few stops along the way, so that is what I did! The original plan to stop at Puxatawny to see the groundhog place and Williamsport to see the little league world series place went down the tubes when I realized there were credits to be obtained!! I did get one of my original 3 planned stops though! Hope you enjoy everybody! As always, thanks for reading! Peace, Big Mike Big Mike hops in The Hot Rod realizing that he is only halfway home and there are still some parks that need to be attended! Hope you enjoyed! More parks to come on the way home! Peace, Big Mike Plus more kiddies ride. Bumper Boats. A bounce house. There are also go carts. Credit #602! On the top of the zig zags. Big Mike on the ride and still getting the Fiesta Express sign. The Train. The train climbs up then zig zags the whole way down. Fiesta Express! I get a fun card and am ready for fun! Here is the park map. Here is a prettier sign for the ladies as Big Mike starts his mission to find a Lover's Lane partner. The Big Mike Road Show 2008 finally arrives at Fun Fore All in PA. The GPS was back at it again, somehow sending me into West Virginia??? I don't mind getting lost, but at least send me through a state that I still need credits in!! West Virginia is 100% already. ..... Big Mike passes ANOTHER Lovers Lane an hour away and his bubble bursts that he has no woman to enjoy it with. Big Mike leaves and is feeling all on top of the world after pulling a fast one with his secret power of women until.... Didn't try to fit in there. Swings! A carousel. Here are some more rides at the park. One more picture to see it in action. I even smoozed my way into having them take my picture on credit #601! Some bunny hops. The view from the top of the lift, which Big Mike's extra 36 pounds made it over! Raise that 75% success rate a little higher baby!!! 36 pounds over! Thats like needing to be 48 inches and making it at 39 inches lol Still using his charisma and bright smile, Big Mike takes a picture of the lift and asks if he can ride! Guess what happens? Big Mike struts up to the girls, with his Official Big Mike Road Show 2008 T-Shirt on, and takes a pictures of the train. Big Mike, full of confidence now, buys a ticket and turns on the Big Mike Charm. I thought it was a good sign that the ticket cost 75 cents and The Big Mike Charm usually works about 75% of the time! Taking a quick look at the station, I am happy to find 2 females working the coaster. Big Mike now has a chance! A problem! A 200 pound weight limit and Big Mike tipping the scales at 236. Not even close! The only chance i have is if it is a girl operator and I use the Big Mike charm again! Mini indeed. I could barely get in the picture! This way to the Mini Coaster! The map, including a huge pool with lots of hot bikinis that I cannot show you anymore lol. The prices! Pretty cheap too Tuscora Park! Seems they are very proud about their Tuscora Park! Arriving in the town of New Philadelphia OH, there are a lot of banners lining the streets. The Big Mike Road Show leaves the Hall of Fame in search of more coaster credits! Big Mike juking and jiving his way back to the Hot Rod with a nice stiff arm for anyone in his way. Here is some nice flowery stuff for the ladies just in case football is not their thing. Here is Big Mike dropping back to pass like the good ole days. Here is Jim Thorpe that you just read about. Here is some history of football. There is a new NFL rule that all rookies must now tour the Hall in their rookie season. Today the Titans and Rams rookies were there. I told the Hall I would still sign autographs. This is where the pre-season starts every year at the Hall of Fame game. I am so used to showing The Big Mike Readers the prices of the amusement parks that I automatically took a picture of this too. The Pro Football Hall of Fame! The Big Mike Road Show 2008 leaves Cedar Point looking for more fun! Lover's Lane would have been fun if I had a hot babe with me, but no!

The next park I am visiting is with Robb, Elissa, and Jeff in France.... and I am in last place between the four of us But I am working on it! Peace, Big Mike

Comment time again! Thanks to everybody for the congrats on coaster #600! Bobbi Jo - Some of my pictures come out crisp and clear, and then there are others that I don't post that come out lousy! Same camera, its wierd. Ghost - Cali Oct 3-12. i have not even tried to make any plans yet as it is a ways off. I do know that Northern Cal parks have a limited schedule then, so I may be up there on the weekends, but I need to check it out still. Will get back to you. PAcoasterrider - I still have Hershey planned later this year and already have the admission ticket. Dutch Wonderland I hit last year and got all the credits! Chadley - Thanks for the props for the Wings! Rapids Nerd - I still need that kiddie coaster at Visionland as I was not such a big coaster collector when I visited there the 1st time! Maybe if I find a super cheap airfare! Angela - A trip to Cedar Point would almost double your coaster count!! It is very nice to hang out with TPR coaster buddies! Sugart - It was not planned for Maverick to be coaster #600, it just fell that way. A missed park Marineland, a denied kiddie credit at Canada's Wonderland, a closed kiddie credit the week before at Dorney, and Maverick being the only credit I needed at Cedar Point! I am glad it worked out that way, I loved Maverick! Vertical Zero - I knew this question was posted and I had to go back pages to find it. I have not been keeping track on how much this whole Big Mike Road Show 2008 has cost so far or will cost by the end. I probably don't want to know I know Craig and I figured we spent about $300 in gas alone over Memorial day weekend! I am still working at UPS and am not retired, but have worked there long enough to get 7 weeks vacation! I got a few season passes to some chains of parks and decided that this is the year I am going to have lots of fun! I call it "The Year of the Big Man"! 5 days until I leave for France, Germany, Holland, and Belgium!!!!! Peace, Big Mike

Hello Friends! As promised, here are the coaster photos of Cedar Point! I am going to go light on the commentary this time. I hope you enjoy. Peace, Big Mike Not only was Maverick my 600th coaster, it was my first emergency evacuation too! Cedar Point is the best! Thanks for reading! Peace, Big Mike These were racing. I came in 2nd out of 4. When I asked my horse for more down the stretch, "I had no horse"! This new thrill show was very good. All of us liked it. Just thought this looked nice. Magnum XL-200! Millennium Force! Mantis Iron Dragon! Wildcat! Blue Streak! I know this is not the best picture, but what is going on in the back seat? Mean Streak! Cedar Creek Mine Ride! Gemini! Woodstock Express! Jr. Gemini! The starting lights light up on the tower. Top Thrill Dragster! Corkscrew! Wicked Twister! Disaster Transport! Raptor! Best new ride of 2007! Big Mike agrees totally Maverick! Also coaster #600 for Big Mike.

EVERYONE is always invited to come party with The Big Mike Road Show 2008!! No reservation required! Peace, Big Mike

Way to go Jim Bo Buddy!!!! I feel like I can take part in this victory also since there was ample footage of Big Mike in the video I can't wait to buy your video and see The Big Mike Road Show on video!! Peace, Big Mike

Darn! I forgot to mention that!!! Kayla really did "look" sick to me! Kayla is a great girl Ken, good job! 2009 has a good possibility. The Ghost - Southern California in October!! Peace, Big Mike

I hate when I fall behind on comments Y2J - That roll oat the start is so slow, and you just hang there! DownUnder - Cool to hear you are doing the coaster of the week. That is nice of you. Take any pictures you want. The pictures are for the TPR community, it is my pleasure to take them for you. CrazyRider - How sweet, 12 times! We have to get together soon, I still need a picture of you guys! Rick my bud - Sept and Oct can't come quick enough! PackFan - Thanks as always. You always have nice things to say. CoasterCrazed - Lasar did not open for quite a while, so I just skipped it this time. Angela - I want to be there when you show Steel Force who is the boss this time! Glad you liked the Philly pic hehe. Chmilo - Always my pleasure to satisfy The Big Mike Readers with any kind of porn. Sue - Rich saved the seat next to him just for you! How special! Craig will take the lead on you next week in Europe. Guy - Dude, we definately need to meet up somewhere along the line. You are definately my kind of guy and I know we will have lots of fun. Carolina - The jet is a good idea. I will take a jet next week as The Big Mike Road Show 2008 goes to France, Germany, Holland, and The Netherlands with Theme Park Review!!! Catch all the updates of Theme Parks Review's Mainland Europe Trip right here on The Big Mike Road Show 2008!! Peace, Big Mike

Hello Fantastic Friends and Big Mike Readers out there! This is a special trip report in so many ways!! First off, it's CoasterMania at Cedar Point, the best park there is! Then we have Big Mike riding his 600th coaster!!! To top it off, over 20 TPR's come out to celebrate with Big Mike on his 600th coaster!! What a fantastic day and what wonderful people I met, every single one of them Cedar Point has so many coasters, this trip report will be divided in half. This first part will be all the cool people who came out to hang with Big Mike and the 2nd part willl be all the coasters! Thanks again to everyone for creating one big happy TPR family I hope everyone enjoys! Peace, Big Mike It's Kayla!! How many of you guessed it right? Next time The Big Mike Road Show 2008 travels near you, come on out and say hi like these friends did! Peace, Big Mike The Big Mike Road Show arrives in the dark and departs in the dark. Time to guess, who got to check off The Official Big Mike Road Show 2008 T-Shirt this time? ....Team Big Mike tops Team Larry any day of the week! I am glad you all thought I was one cool dude and solidified that.... I thank everyone who came out and was part of Team Big Mike! It was a fantastic day at Cedar Point with a whole bunch of great people and a superb event called CoasterMania! ......Dad says it's time to leave The Big Mike Road Show and go home!! Look how sweet and adorable Kayla is until...... Can never get enough father/daughter time! Some father and daughter time. Very cool! First solo, now together! Kayla Jeff Ken The trees had all this white stuff floating in the air. Jeff could make a snowball out of it! Big Mike bails after just one ride on here. Too much food at the free buffet. Kayla and Big Mike! Ken and Jeff had to ride on thier own. One of the main reason for traveling to Cedar Point was that Kayla wanted to ride her favorite Magnum with Big Mike! I was honored! Where should I throw my Caramel apple core? Ah, I am feeling bad for Craig's food picture, so here is another one for you good buddy! Any which way to cool off will do! When the drinks did not do the trick, we found the air conditioners! It was getting very hot out, good thing Cedar Point gave us these free refillable drink cups for the WHOLE day! He was wispering in my ear congrats on #600! I was still hungry, so I tried to eat this cookie! Caramel apples and salt water taffy for everybody! Since Craig was looking for food, here is what we had. Sausage, chicken, ziti, and more! Craig! Jeff! Ken! Scott and his cousin, who later put on a TPR shirt after finding out how cool it was to be part of. Gage! It's not all about Big Mike though, it is about the friends that make it special. So here they are. Sue and Rich! Kayla was impressed by the whole spectical that is The Big Mike Road Show 2008! Everyone is dancing with joy at the big accomplishment! The reason why we are all here, Maverick - coaster #600 for Big Mike! Let the celebrations begin. ... not having to wait in these huge lines later in the day! Having this Coastermania badge means ..... Here are your Cedar Point prices if you come on another day and don't get in for free at CoasterMania! There was also a little event playing 2nd fiddle to Big Mike's party called CoasterMania! Wow! That was the roll call for Big Mike's 600th coaster party at Cedar Point! As Tony wanted to know, who was going to check off Ohio?? Take a guess Big Mike Readers, I just showed you all the possibilities! I was honored to meet Tony Clark from Cedar Point. He does the OnPoint blog and wrote a very nice article on Big Mike! See it here http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/index.cfm?entry=c8266f50-f68c-4e04-a941-dc3f10f3688d Thanks Tony! Your a cool dude. Here they are, the 3 generation coaster riders! How awesome! Andy, Dillon, and his dad. Dillon was adorable and very smart on drop tower lingo! Better late than never, Rob (Rmcgin1058) joins the party! Cedar Fair CEO Dick Kinzel even congratulates Big Mike for coaster #600 but says he wants to see the bikini pictures back on TBMRS2008! They just keep coming! It's Vanessa from the Midwest trip and part of Casey's Harum, but not anymore since she met Big Mike! While at lunch, I find 1/3 of the family of 3 generations of coaster riders. This is Andy (Vistaway) but his son is sleeping. Picture later! After a few rides, Pam (Yeti726) finds me and I have made another great friend! Pam is in the finals of the TPR Video Contest! Wow, it's Cole and Heidi and they remembered from last week at Dorney that I would be riding #600 and said they wouldn't have missed the celebration! Someone brand new to TBMRS2008, Scott (TheOne) and his cousin all the way from IL. Hey, my great buds Craig (IggyAce) and his son Gage were here for Big Mike's celebration too! Where have we not met these guys? We don't even get on our first ride yet and wham, we run into Sue and Rich! Sue had checked off CT on the Official Big Mike Road Show 2008 T-Shirt back at Lake Compounce early in the Road Show! Not even inside yet and bam, we meet Ken (slither37) and his adorable daughter Kayla! TPR representing too! Going back in, we run into Bob (Flyingbob) and his coaster riding partner Deb that I met at The Great Escape earlier on the Road Show! Jeff was cool enough to model this free CoasterMania hoodie they gave is! No sooner than I park my car, I hear "Big Mike!" from the car parking next to me! It's Jeff (y2j2003y2j) and he is my sidekick for the next 19 hours! The Big Mike Road Show 2008 arrives in the dark and ready to have a ton of fun!

Hey my great friends and die hard Big Mike Readers!! This update is the 2nd part of Dorney Park. Now that ERT was over, I am heading back in with the general public and starting all over again I hope you enjoy! Peace, Big Mike I don't want to cause another accident on the way home this time, so I chartered a bus just for me Peace, Big Mike ... Big Mike! Thanks for reading once again everybody! Next report is "Big Mike's 600th Coaster Party at CoasterMania at Cedar Point!" This trip report has been brought to you by...... Big Mike taking care of the nature lovers too! Talon - Grip of Fear! Woodstock Express! A picture for my valuable Big Mike women readers! Wild Mouse. Anyone can take a usual lift shot, but to include Snoopy in it shows the expertise of the camera man. That didn't take long. Right out of the loading station into a roll! Hydra from above. Just watch out when you enter, he likes to take a bite out of you if you have a big head. Hydra the Revenge! One day Little Lazer. Will have to keep my eye out for an ACE event here. In typical Big Mike fashion, Big Mike was ready to use his charm to get on here, but it never opened while I was there. The Little Lazer! Per request from a hot babe in Belgium! Big Mike must be visiting the whole extended family of The Toronto Monster. Dragon! 2 loops! Not much of a first drop. The lift hill up close. The front car up close. Lazer! Sadly, Big Mike does not get to participate in the drop rope race today with his VIP access. Of course, the camera girls swarmed over to Big Mike but I turned the tables on them. They were so delighted! While people stood in line buying tickets, Big Mike uses the VIP enterance! Deja Vu! I took this same picture an hour and a quarter ago.

Hey Friends!! The Big Mike Road Show 2008 traveled to Allentown PA to visit Dorney Park and Coaster Madness!!! The first part of the report will be during ERT time and the 2nd part will be the rest of the park during normal visiting hours I hope you enjoy! Peace, Big Mike Those were the 3 ERT coasters. Time to put the TPR hoodie in the car and make believe I am with the general public now. Where should I throw out my ERT badge? Rest of the park a little later! Peace, Big Mike Thunderhawk in action. The lift. The start used to be a tunnel back in the day. Thunderhawk! Girl in 5th row: Ahhh, my boobs are popping out!! Bunny hop goodness. Back out of another tunnel. The coaster makes this turn and races for home. A 2nd drop too! A big drop into a tunnel. A lift shot. The front car. Some stats to read. Steel Force! Voodoo, credit #599 for Big Mike! The last pass, it holds you there for a few seconds! Lots of dangling feet. Way up. Voodoo goes so fast, it is hard to get a good motion shot with my junky camera lol. One side is twisty, the other side is straight. The train flies out of the station. Another shot to satisfy some of the Big Mike Readers. The paint job looks snazzy. The station - with no lines!! Voodoo from up above. Hey, my good friend Rich beat me here! Voodoo! No basketball bouncing kids to avoid for now. Coaster Madness! The park map. Here are your prices this year. Dorney Park - 8:30 ERT! The reason for the visit, VooDoo. Plus the ERT and free food. Hmmm, wonder if Angela is home? I hope everyone is ok! I have to find another form of transportation home. Oh no, looks like another Big Mike Road Show caused accident coming up. Hi Everyone! The Big Mike Road Show 2008 is now on its way to Dorney Park to experience Coaster Madness and ride the New for 2008 Voodoo!

I worked all the overtime and when it came down to the final itiniery, I had enough money to choose either The Voyage or The Toronto Island Monster! It was a tough choice but The Voyage lost Peace, Big Mike

Nicole - Yes, adults can ride and even I had no problems getting on Philrad - Everyone can always count on Big Mike to bring the Big Mike Readers trip reports from all sorts of parks, big and small!! That's how I roll Craig - Actually the groupies I am looking for are single hot babes! Anyone interested in becoming a groupie, let me know Since you don't fit the groupie catagory, I will have to put you in the Super Duper Great Friend catagory. Jeff - I am very excited and honored to be On Point! Tony even went and corrected my stats and they are no longer inflated lol. Now they are way too low hehe. 600 coasters now Tony!!! Plus Maverick WAS #600!! Bryan - Comack is an hour and a half away from me and that sandwich is burning in my mind. I have to go try it out sooner rather than later. It sounds awesome. I will make sure I even wear my Official Big Mike Road Show T-shirt so I get extra attention when I order it Danny - Thanks for the compliments my friend! They are always nice to hear. Brian - That's true, I have not ridden the Voyage yet. One day, maybe next year. I give Ravine Flyer a solid 8. Jon - Big Mike on TV sounds like a great idea to me. That may be far fetched so I guess we will start with a leading role on this upcoming Mainland Europe TPR DVD Andy - I really liked talking with you. You and your whole family were great and very friendly. I hope we can meet up again and spend more time together somewhere in the future! I loved your little son, he was adorable and I really liked listening to him with such knowledge of a drop tower! 3 generations is something special! Matt - I agree with you, the self promotion has really taken off lol. This whole thing has turned from a self promoting blitz into a real great opportunity to meet some fantastic people and make some great new friends!! I look back already at just the first 3 months of The Big Mike Road Show 2008 thread and can't believe how much fun I have had with people I did not know just 3 months ago. Kicking off in Atlanta meeting Rich and Scott and their awesome wives up until this past weekend at Cedar Point and EVERYONE I met and hung out with there. What a great time I am having right now thanks to all of these fantastic TPR friends!!! I look forward to meeting many more and hanging out together somewhere along the way!! Dorney Park update is next everyone, then the BIG Cedar Point!! Peace, Big Mike

Hey my good friends!!! Everyone is soooo cool on here, your the best! The Big Mike Road Show 2008 continues and this time with stops at Waldameer in PA to ride the New for 2008 coaster Ravine Flyer 2!!! Also, a stop at Midway Park in NY and the adventure it was getting there! I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I enjoy bringing it to you Peace, Big Mike This ends the report for this place appropriately! I hope you enjoyed reading this. Bye my friends! Peace, Big Mike A cute little boat ride too. The nice carousel. Here are some more rides at the park. Coaster # 598 for Big Mike! Away we go! The train. These kids seem to enjoy it, so I am ready to also. They didn't even bother naming this coaster, it is called Roller Coaster! ... but I do have credit #597!!! ... and i have no room to breath.... I have no shame.... The Course. Looks oddly like The Toronto Monster! The Dragon! The prices. Finally! Midway Park! Where the F is this place???? Wonderful. To top things off, a one way road with hills you can't see over to see if cars are coming the other way. I drive on, no end in sight. I hate when I say it can't get worse than this because it always does, and it did! The GPS had me going down dirt roads, through woods, down one way streets, and on roads that are only used half a year! I always say on these trips, I live by my GPS and I die by my GPS! Today, the GPS said F U to me! It sure was whacky, but not as whacky as my trip coming up to midway Park! Of course, I had to try out the Whacky Shack before I left. Thinking of Derek and how cool it would have been to hear his "Big Miiiiiiiiiiiike" shout out he does. Craig acutally does the exact same thing lol. A sudden Big Miiiiiiiiike breaks the silence! An enjoyable ride on the sky ride. Sometimes I think I have too much fun doing this! Same view as before, but with a little less trees. So that left Big Mike with only one other option! Most of the ride was well hidden in trees making it hard for Big Mike to take pics. Comet trains. The Comet! I like these turns. The lift, either frontwards or backwards. This was from the sky ride, not the ferris wheel! Steel Dragon! The whole ride is over water. Big Mike up in the ferris wheel again getting those special shots. Ravine Flyer 3 is also here. Ravine Flyer 2 - Credit #596 for Big Mike! I call this "My first ride EVER on Ravine Flyer 2!" Hanging with Big Mike does have some advantages, mainly free on ride photos!! Of course, this group did not want Big Mike catching up on their coaster counts, so they followed me here to neutralize my ride The ride finished up with a bunny hill. Here is the rest of the layout. Back over the street the other way! The train takes this turn around and heads back again. Here you can see the train going over the street. Once you climber the lift and had a great view, the drop takes you right into a tunnel. How about that view from the top!! A pretty lift hill. Here is a view of the back of the train. Here is a view of the front of the train. Craig, Gage, and Caitlyn again! The answer is NO, I have not had enough of my good buddy yet! The Big Mike Readers are always asking for stats! New for 2008!! Ravine Flyer 2!!!! I can understand the wrist band, but do we have to have the huge ink stamp too?? A park map for your viewing pleasure. Here are the 2008 prices. The Big Mike Road Show stops at Waldameer in Erie PA!

That is fantastic!! I am printing that out and putting it up on my wall Thanks very much! Peace, Big Mike

Hey Bryan! That sandwich sounds awesome! Since you live pretty close to me, what town was that in? I may have to stop by and try it!!! Peace, Big Mike

Bobbi Jo - Did you get your official UPS Big Brown pin??? Jeff - Next time in Ohio, for sure! 307 - Indeed, that Fan Axxess was in Toronto! I agree with you completely that I lost all interest in it lately as it was not as fun and entertaining to me anymore. I am glad I went to Centreville, that was a nice time. I am glad you liked Big Mike Back Then. I will try it again when the time and moment arise that I can contribute something relevant. Peace, Big Mike

I miss you dude! Peace, Big Mike

Yes, we now have 2 Jeffs. The original Jeff is my coaster mentor. Both Jeffs are great guys! Nagro - Thanks for saying hello! Your WTF response was probably a lot like mine when I found out Tony actually knew all about my Road Show and Bikini pictures lol. I appreciate you coming in and trying to inform us about On Point. Word does travel fast around here though Seems like my little thread is taking on a life of it's own! Who would have knew that so many people enjoy reading about my coaster adventures??? It still baffles me lol. Newly met Jeff - (Sure I could call him young Jeff since everyone else calls the other Jeff old all the time, but I have never called him old and never will. Thats just not my style. Yes, I did follow wrestling for awhile, actually really enjoyed watching it. I thought it was funny and hysterical, and a good form of entertainment. I don't watch it anymore though. Since you asked though, and I always love to please all the Big Mike Readers whenever I can, I am going to start a new segment every once in a while to break up all the coaster reports! The new segment willl be called "Big Mike Back Then". So, there is no time like the present, so here is "BIG MIKE BACK THEN" edition #1: Back in the day when Big Mike was into wrestling, Big Mike got to call a match with Maven, the Tough Enough winner. I still have the video and audio, but no talent to figure out how to put it on here. Maybe some of you will like to look at Terri Runnels since you have been depraved on bikini photos. My favorite wrestler I ever met was The Rock, but Hulk Hogan was a close 2nd. With the Triple Crown just getting finished, here is a time sensitive photo. In honor of my Wings just winning the Stanley Cup, here is Big Mike at the last banner raising at the Joe. I had a choice of CoasterMania or another Red Wing parade. Since I have already been to a parade, I chose CoasterMania. I hope you enjoyed this debut edition of Big Mike Back Then. Waldameer update is next! Peace, Big Mike

Jeff - If I didn't count powered coasters, how would I ever catch up to you? Rich - If I didn't count relocated coasters, how would I ever... um... I'd still be way ahead of you I could be even farther ahead on my coaster count if I used the Cool Rich method of coaster counting, so I am not fully LAME! Peace, Big Mike

Jeff - I forgot to thank you for making your "first ever post on TPR" in The Big Mike Road Show thread!!! I love when that happens, and it has happened quite a few times already. That makes me happy. I kinda feel like a radio station discovering a new and rising star that is going to explode soon Congrats Jeff for making the blog too!! Ken - We also rode Gemini again, and then hit Top Thrill Dragster! That was a long day together, but I could always use extra rides with Ken and Kayla! Brian - Thanks for the congrats! You have been a cool dude this whole thread. I hope to meet up with you soon! Tony - Thanks again, that was very awesome of you to do. You have cemented your place on Big Mike's Cool List! I look forward to having more time to spend with you and treating you to lunch someday. If there is one thing that you can count on with Big Mike everybody, it is Big Mike always remembers who treated him well and who took the time to be friendly! The kindness will always be repaid somewhere down the road!!! Once a friend, always a friend Will try to get another update up tonight everybody! Peace, Big Mike

True, I am not sure where Tony got that fact from, but who I am to diminish Big Mike's spotlight See you in 12 days for our annual fantastic time together! Peace, Big Mike

Well how about that Thanks Tony! The Big Mike Road Show 2008 is honored to be part of OnPoint!!!!! Peace, Big Mike

Hi all my good Friends!!! The Big Mike Road Show 2008 continued it's swing through Canada with a stop at Centreville! Centreville is on an island near Toronto, and you can only get there by ferry boat!! This was a cool stop on the Road Show I hope you enjoy everybody! Peace, Big Mike After the previous night's hotel stay was swarmed with hot babe Big Mike Road Show groupies, I had to rent out the whole wing of this hotel. I needed my rest for Waldameer and the Ravine Flyer 3, coming next! Peace, Big Mike After about an hour of coverage, I gave the thumbs up to the tv cameras and said goodbye. I left the island, made it back to the States, and like most of the big sporting events and high profile spectaculars, the blimp was covering The Big Mike Road Show 2008! Ahhhhh! Where's my mommy?!?! I got on anyway, thinking I am tough and not a little scardy girl like Nicole was back then. I was a little hesitant to get in the car as Nicole told me this scared the crap out of her when she was little. Nicole also told me to try out Haunted Barrel Works before I left. Lots of cool little kids rides. Other rides on the island. Nicole told me to search for the bunny farm. Bunnies used to run free all over the island at one time I was told by a guide. The guide brought me over to this display and said that this is what is left of the bunny farm! One of the benefits to the park being on an island, ducks!!! Credit #595 for Big Mike! Ah, the island breezes blowing through my hair. I am ready to tame this monster. Here he is, the Toronto Island Monster. I think he has a twin back in the states too. Now I don't feel that silly with that big dude on the coaster already. The Toronto Island Monster! Big Mike loads up on tickets. A list of all the rides and the prices. Here is a map with all there is to do. Centreville Amusement Park! This is how far you are away from Toronto. The Big Mike Road Show arrives at Centre Island. Landfall is straight ahead. Just in case you wanted to see Toronto without Big Mike's face taking up the whole picture. Big Mike enjoying the relaxing boat trip. These ferry boats transfer people from downtown Toronto to the island where the amusement park is. The Big Mike Road Show 2008 adds another type of transortation to travel in to reach amusement parks.
