Big Mike Posted May 30, 2008 Author Posted May 30, 2008 Hi Good Friends! The Big Mike Road Show 2008 continued on its way to Sylvan Beach in New York. Every once in a while the Rain Gods have ruined some stops on the tour so far earlier in the year, but this time Big Mike defeated the Rain Gods with 5 minutes to spare! Hope you enjoy! Peace, Big Mike We conclude with another picture for my friend Mr. Moose! Thanks for looking everyone. Darien Lake up next! Peace, Big Mike Some other rides at the park. The Galaxi Coaster, credit #587 for Big Mike. Not much to say here so I figure we will mention Angela from Philly again since it was such a hit last time! The nice view from the top of the lift. Ha! I beat you Rain Gods! I am done with you ruining my plans while I am trying to catch up to Gage! Going up the lift, can't stop me now! I jumped right in before the rain started, I wanted my credit now! Here is a picture of the car I am about to ride. The main reason to visit Sylvan Beach for me, The Galaxi Coaster! A bonus picture of the specials also! Here is a look at the 2008 prices. The Big Mike Road Show 2008 arrived at Sylvan Beach without a minute to spare as the big thunder clouds were rolling in. The first stop before hitting the amusement park was a visit to Betty Beavers, a must if you are traveling through upstate NY!
packfanlv Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Big Mike, I am glad to see you beat the rain gods. Just wanted to let you know that I am still enjoying all of the posts. There are so many small parks that I had never heard of. With just 197 credits currently, I bow down to your coaster count! I will be working very hard over the next couple of years to catch you. Don't forget to look over your shoulder! Shawn
Big Mike Posted May 30, 2008 Author Posted May 30, 2008 Thanks for writing Shawn!! I am not getting many responses anymore, starting to think people are losing interest I will keep my eyes on you and your coaster count lol. Peace, Big Mike
Divv3k Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 People are certainly not losing interest Big Mike! I've enjoyed the whole thing so far. I'm looking forward to being a part of the Road Show on the Europe Trip. I just hope the Big Mike Road Show will be there to cover the momentous occasion of my 300th coaster!
ElToroGirl84 Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Not much to say here so I figure we will mention Angela from Philly again since it was such a hit last time! LOL! I've had the world's worst week, this week, but that really made my day! Couldn't stop giggling! Guess it's safe to assume it was me being mentioned since I was the only one that even acknowledged it. The smallest things amuse me. Thanks!
Big Mike Posted May 30, 2008 Author Posted May 30, 2008 ^ Your welcome There are not too many Angela's from Philly that post here! ^^ Divv, Make sure I am around for #300 and I will post it for sure!! Peace, Big Mike
downunder Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Big Mike, like others have said, we are all still watching just not commenting (does that make us forum voyeurs?). I am definitely enjoying the vision you are giving us of these parks. It is especially exciting for me given I will be visiting many of these parks in August once I negotiate that minor detail of being separated from all these sweet parks by 8,000 miles of ocean and then 4,000 miles of land.
scruffy Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I have not losing interest in your trip reports. Just got busy at work and not a lot of time to use the computer when I get home anymore. I called about my GPS and it will work in Canada.
themeparkguy27 Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Definitely enjoying the TR...keep updating as you go. Very enjoyable.
pagemaster_b Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 After seeing IggyAce and his kids, my only comment is -- "I can't wait until my debut on Mike's Road Show!!!" That and "I can't wait until the TPR Mainland Europe Trip starts!!!" In either case, it's still three more weeks away.
depotrat Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Mike Loved the shot of Galaxi at Sylvan Beach. It was #200 for me and my daughter together in 2006! we are at #259 and hope to get to #300 this summer.
Big Mike Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 Thanks for all the support everybody!! Darien lake going up later today! Peace, Big Mike
gisco Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I am not getting many responses anymore, starting to think people are losing interest Peace, Big Mike You really need a few lessons on self promotion! Big Mike in a bikini wouldn't hurt either
cfc Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Big Mike in a bikini wouldn't hurt either Nor would it help. You're doin' fine, big man.
ginzo Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I am not getting many responses anymore, starting to think people are losing interest It's all because you have Voyage ranked higher than El Toro.
Big Mike Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 ^ You are mistaken my friend, I love El Toro and have never ridden The Voyage yet! You guys are all great! Your the best!!! Cedar Point Coaster Mania this upcoming Friday!!! Who is going to meet The Big Mike Road Show 2008 there?? Peace, Big Mike
TheRapidsNerd Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Been following along too. Time to post has been scarce this week. Wouldn't miss the updates! Keep up the great work and thanks.
slither37 Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I will be at Coastermania on Friday. And Thursday night before as well.
Big Mike Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 I will see you and your daughter there Ken!!! The Big Mike Road Show 2008 is visiting Coaster Mania at Cedar Point this Friday!!! Who else is going??? More details to follow! Peace, Big Mike
silver0x3 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 hey big mike I’m just wondering if it’s possible to hit betty beaver if we drive to nyc from CP??
Big Mike Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 That would be wayyyyy out of the way, and as much as an experience as it was to see it, I would recommend you pass on it Peace, Big Mike
silver0x3 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 hmmm to bad... is there something else to see on this way? and hey, it's pretty much fun to read about your roadshow thanks an keep rolling
Reon Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I'm working til 3 on Friday, so by the time I got to coastermania, CP would be closed. Too bad, since you were apparently at SFGAdv the day I was, and didn't get the chance to meet you. Does Coastermania mean Big Mike is about to start the Ohio leg of the trip? If so, I can meet up at Kings Island.
