Today's episode comes to you from Utah, a place that Big Mike visited for Lagoon, Park City, and a special visit to Cowabunga Bay!!! Big Mike really loved Lagoon, so he decided to make it a FIND THE DUCKY game!!!! Today's ducky is YELLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!! Remember, post how many times you found the ducky, but don't give away his hiding places!!! This Ducky game is easier than the past few weeks, so hopefully we can get a few more players to enter, especially FIRST TIME POSTERS TO TPR!!!

1pizza14 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 4 Duckies! Lock me in please. Lagoon looks like a beautiful park! I love all of the landscaping everywhere and Wicked looks pretty cool. What exactly where those Dragster things? Do you get to drive them or just sit in them and launch? I have never seen that type of ride before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imagenius128 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Usually when I'm stuck between two numbers, I go with whichever one is more popular... Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be helping this time. Lock me in with FOUR Duckies and here's to hoping I picked right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delfay Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Four duckies, lock me in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanM Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I found the ducky! ...wait, is it cheating if I still have this little guy that Big Mike left behind? It's seriously crazy to think about how long ago this actually was! Back when I was working in games every day instead of supervising them... seems like it's been forever. And happy birthday Big Mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Happy Birthday, Big Mike!!! Thanks for another great update! Now that I've read and enjoyed the update, I must go back and study hard to find the duckies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hello my great friends!!!!! It's Tuesday, time for another fun thing to do while out on the road riding roller coasters, courtesy of The Mighty Big Man! This place was not exactly in between amusement parks, but in Big Mike's eyes, it was close enough to go visit! Big Mike was coming from Funtastics in Arizona and on his way to Oasis Lanes in Texas, and this stop was on Big Mike's Top 50 Always Wanted To Do List!!! The place Big Mike will show you in today's Big Mike Road Show episode is Roswell New Mexico, UFO capitol of the World! I hope you enjoy! Peace, Big Mike Big Mike arrives to Roswell, New Mexico!! Big Mike is wearing his Official UFO ring, showing all the aliens of Roswell that Big Mike is an undercover alien too! As you enter Roswell, you can tell all kinds of businesses have hopped on board with the alien themes! Even big named companies are alien friendly. There is even some car dealership feuding on who can have the bigger alien! UFO themed billboards are a common site too! I thought Big Mike had the most wanted wiener? Fast food places battle it out too for business with their own UFO ideas. Nobody beats the king of fast food with their UFO shaped dining room. Big Mike made it through town and found a special parking spot! It was a long trip, so Big Mike needed an alien approved Coke! Big Mike finds what he visited for, the UFO Museum and Research Center! The museum is open 7 days a week from 9-5. Big Mike is welcomed right away! The museum is full of evidence of UFO sightings and landings! Crop circles are giveaways that a UFO was recently here. The main draw to the museum is the aliens that have been caught and are now being looked at in the research center! They even have real life aliens saved in protective fluids!! When you are done inside the museum, you can take your entry sticker and play Cover up the aliens! The neat thing you notice about Roswell as you walk the town is that the street lamps are shaped like aliens! Almost every store on the main strip is decorated with aliens. Alien store after alien store. Even if you are getting married, there is an alien wedding store for you! Alien T-shirt shops are big business! Aliens are the other gray meat ya know! Coming to Roswell, Big Mike was pretty skeptical. Leaving Roswell, Big Mike believes!!!! Hope you enjoyed! Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinschroder Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Well no wonder the aliens chose to land in Roswell! They would've felt right at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadWolf666 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Lock me in for 3 duckies, please! I've always wanted to go to Lagoon, looks like such a great park. Great report on roswell as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
