Big Mike Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Hello Valuable Big Mike Readers!!! Â Time for a small park report, and this one comes from an adventure park in Massachusetts... Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort! Â This was one of the first mountain coasters up in Big Mike's neck of the woods! Â Mountain coasters are popping up all over the place now, there is even one being built a half hour away from Big Mike World Headquarters! Â Hope you enjoy! Â Â Peace, Big Mike Big Mike travels up to Massachusetts for his first mountain coaster experience! Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort! Prices. Â There are nine main attractions here, Big Mike will show them all to you! Rules. Big Mike and his ticket! Alpine "slide" = No credit. Â Mountain "Coaster" = Credit!!! No problem here, Big Mike likes high speeds and heights! Carts. Big Mike collecting his credit! Lift. Big Mike crotch cam. Some views: They have enough carts ready to accommodate a whole bus of TPR people! Alpine slide! Big Mike favorite trick, talk to the operator for an extended amount of time to let the slowpokes ahead of you time to get down the course and not mess up your ride! Views: Quick story, the same location by Big Mike World Headquarters that is building the new mountain coaster also has an alpine slide, and Big Mike has already wiped out on it two times in his life so far! Scenic chair lift! Nice views. Giant swing! Pretty high! Rock climbing. Trampolines. 200 pound weight limit Mini golf. Spider web. Ropes adventures. They also have a bounce house. Playground too. The Big Mike Road Show Most Valuable Reader Contest is coming to a close..... .... and I bet a few players could really use this Mikestery Treasure Hunt Card that has still not been claimed here yet!!! Hope you enjoyed Jiminy Peak with The Mighty Big Man!!! Â Â Peace, Big Mike Edited February 22, 2012 by Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I've always wanted to ride a Mountain Coaster! We've got an Alpine Slide here in Michigan now, Big Mike, and I've also wiped out on it twice! The last time I rode it, about three years ago, I was going brake less the whole way down and picked up way too much speed and ended up flipping right over. I still have scars from it, haha! I thought they would be slippery like a water slide, but they are the complete opposite. They are are not slippery at all, so there is NO sliding, just burning! OUCH!

Big Mike Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hello my Valuable Big Mike Readers!!!   Once again, a big thanks for continuing to participate in Big Mike's huge quest to post 200 updates in 2012!!!  As with all the past Thursday updates, this update will be the usual "something fun near an amusement park that you can do just like Big Mike did!"   So, if you are ever visiting the likes of Coney Island, or maybe even Victorian Gardens in Central Park for the coaster there in the summer time, or even as far as the Jersey shore or Great Adventure, you are close enough to go check out the Empire State Building in NYC!!!   This time around, Big Mike had some super cool friends come and visit The Mighty Big Man and off we went for a little sight seeing!  Special guests on the episode are Rick (Coaster Palooza) and his wife Gyendolynne!   Hope you enjoy!   Peace, Big Mike   PS - Thanks to Rick as I am using 3 of his pictures for this update! Big Mike always enjoys meeting his great friends at the airport with special VIP pick up service from The Mighty Big Man himself! Rick and Gyendolynne enjoy visiting every single Hard Rock Cafe they can get to, so this was a must! A little relaxing time before sight seeing. Big Mike checks in with his good buddy The Naked Cowboy since we were already in Times Square! Bonus butt shot for anyone interested! Showed my guests some NY art too! Here is the real highlight of the day, The Empire State Building! The Empire State Building! They rolled out the carpet for our visit. The Empire State Building has 2 observatories, this is the one on the 86th floor! Wow, we are way up there! Gyendolynne and Rick! Big Mike met some new friends 86 stories up, and came prepared! Lets face it, there are not many food options this high for them. I wonder how many times this has been struck by lightning? Those windows at the top are the 102nd floor observatory! Big Mike searching around for the way up as you don't come all this way and not go to the very top! Woo Hoo! Found it! Bring us up top! We made it! The 102nd floor observation is 16 floors higher, but you are no longer outdoors like at the 86th floor observatory. Being this high up, you can see many famous things like...  Central Park... ... the New Year's Eve Ball in Times Square... ... The Statue of Liberty... ... the cruise terminal on the west side... ... Madison Square Garden... ... and best of all, Big Mike's home state of New Jersey!!! Thanks to Rick and Gyendolynne for coming to visit and I hope everyone enjoyed this episode on The Empire State Building!   Peace, Big Mike   PS - Who is coming to visit next???

XYZ Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 On the 102nd story observatory, are the windows pretty cloudy? They seem to be cloudy from all the pictures up there. Anyways, it's a really nice photo trip and being a skyscraper fanatic, I am pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspaz1000 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 For all the times I've been in NYC, I've never done the Empire State building. Must rectify this. Â I have been to the Hard Rock Cafe though. Love it there. Â Thanks for showing us the Empire state building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy524 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have never been on anything that high and I have a feeling I would probably pass out or something because I am terrified of heights! Pretty views though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I live about an hour from the city and a few weeks ago after a Rangers game my girlfriend and I spontaneously decided to go up on the Empire State Building. Like most native New Yorkers I rarely take advantage of the awesome stuff the city has to offer but I must say I was blown away by the experience. If you ever get the chance you should go up there at night too, it's really amazing. Â By the way, how was the 102nd floor observatory? Was it worth the extra fee?
