THE BIG MIKE ROAD SHOW - 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY PICS ON PG 769


Recommended Posts

Yay! I'm qualified! As for this round, I don't have time ATM to do a thorough ducky search but I just wanted to say that this park looks really cool and I do hope they reopen some time! I like the concept of theming to rock music and it looks like an overall fun park!

Hello Fantastic Friends and Valuable Big Mike Readers!!

 

Today on The Big Mike Road Show we check out a place that Big Mike visited while picking up those two remote coasters out in Montana and South Dakota, Crazy Horse!!

 

Crazy Horse is a monument from the Native Americans to go along with Mount Rushmore, which is not too far away at all.

 

This is kind of off the beaten path, so the Big Mike Road Show will bring it closer, like right to your computer screen so you can check it out!

 

 

Hope you enjoy!

 

 

Peace, Big Mike

Crazy Horse even has its own post office.

 

Wonder if this is one of the ones they are closing down due to cutbacks?

Here is a scale model and the real Crazy Horse behind it.

Still pretty far away for Big Mike's liking, so we take the bus tour to get closer! See the bus??

I got stuck sitting next to Mom instead of with the cool kids at the back of the bus.

The bus tour also came with a tour guide who told us all about Crazy Horse.

You can see markings on the mountain that still need to be carved.

You also need power up on the mountain, that is where Kaput came in handy.

For a small donation, you could take a rock from Crazy Horse Mountain home with you!

Hopefully Big Mike can come back and see the finished project if it is ever completed sometime in his lifetime.

Thanks for checking out Crazy Horse with The Big Mike Road Show!

 

Hope you enjoyed!

I'm not sure they will ever finish it.I heard at one time the National Park service offered to take over and finish it but were turned down.

 

Do they give any estimate on when hey think it will be finished?

Hello Valuable Big Mike Readers!!

 

Today, The Mighty Big Man takes you as far down south as you can get before you cross the border into Mexico!

 

Western Playland is the place, the park is in New Mexico, but you can actually see Texas and the Mexico border from the top of the roller coaster!

 

Big Mike caught this park at night during his World Tour, so some of the pictures may be lacking.

 

Hope you enjoy it anyway!

 

 

Peace, Big Mike

Lets see if anyone is actually reading my comments? Post something about "Megan looks great in that bikini" after you read this. Change up the line with super, hot, ect and describe the bikini, and there will be a randomly drawn winner for the newest Big Mike token of appreciation given to the winner! Lets see how many people go back and look for it lol. Thanks for playing!

Hope you enjoyed!

 

 

Peace, Big Mike

Western Playland looks like having mostly classic carnival rides.

 

Whats always interesting to note is that the light-package on your rides is mostly very, very basic compared to euro rides...the log flume and Zyklon coaster are especially "dark"...
