Trevannosaurus Rex Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Mike the sheer tenacity you have to get these small credits is astounding! Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangecats2 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Looks like I won't be making it to the IX Center this weekend. I would have been able to go on Friday but now that you're going on Saturday, I can't. I already had plans with a friend and she's not a huge coaster person. Hope I can meet you some other time this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastercrazy 9 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thank for the milestone post in the Bg Mike Road Show thread!!! You are quite welcome! From now on, I'll do every milestone post here! Haha, can't wait. I wish I was not as lazy, because than I would be riding more coasters (like you) instead of talking about them. These small parks really seem like where the fun is at.

Big Mike Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hello Valuable Big Mike Readers!!   Today's episode comes to us from South Dakota, and it is Badlands National Park!   The place was huge, and even with these pictures, you have to see it for yourself.   I hope you enjoy the pictures!    The WILD CARD game for the last chance to advance to the Final round of the Big Mike Reader of the Year Contest will be tomorrow! (Friday)  Tonight during the NJ State Lottery Pick 6 Lotto, the first ball drawn that is between 1 and 24 will determine what time the WILD CARD POST will go up!  1 = 1am, 12 = noon, 17 = 5pm, 24 = midnight, etc. Big Mike will post the result after the drawing at 8pm! You can google it and watch it live if you want or see a video of it later.  Once the time has been set and posted by Big Mike, that will be the exact time the update will go up, and then you will be able to see what you have to do to win the Wild Card game and move on to the Finals! Good Luck Friends!   Lastly before we see Badlands, The Big Mike Road Show 2012 World Tour kicks off this Saturday at the I/X Indoor Amusement Park in Cleveland Ohio, WHO IS COMING TO MEET UP WITH THE BIG MAN??????????????   Hope you enjoy Badlands!   Peace, Big Mike   Badlands National Park! Look who it is guest starring on today's episode of The Big Mike Road Show, Julia Roberts!!! Scratch that, it's actually Big Mike's Mom! Badlands! Big Mike and the view! View without Big Mike clogging up the picture. Mommy Big Mike! (My Megan came up with that nickname!) Watch out for snakes!! More views. The Mighty Big Man! Mom LOVES traveling along on the Big Mike Road Show World Tour! Sunflower! Mom doing some climbing to get better views. I can tell by viewing these pictures that they don't do this place justice, but I hope they impress you a little bit. Mommy Big Mike is pretty courageous! Lots of pretty picture taking places! Big Mike at Badlands National Park!  Hope you enjoyed!  Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperShawn Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Finally had a chance to catch up on some of the Big Man's fantastic trip reports and also got my Big Mike Banner back up, not sure how that managed to disappear but oh well it's back now.

Philrad71 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yay Badlands! Made it there last summer myself and LOVED it! Â Did you get to do the Alpine Slide near Mt. Rushmore too? That was my first one and it was great fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 The lottery has been drawn and the WILD CARD game will be posted at 9am EST tomorrow (Friday 3/30/12)! Â Hope that works for everybody, or at least somebody, since we have players from all over, this was the most honest way! Â Â Good luck to everyone tomorrow, and I hope you join Danielle, Patrick, Shawn, Brian, Corey, and maybe Jeff (if he ever posts the Mikestery card he found! in the Finals!

Big Mike Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hello Valuable Big Mike Readers!!!   We now complete our 12th week of daily Mon to Fri updates!   Cruising right along on pace for 200 updates this year, and a little rest and relaxation coming up this weekend as Big Mike starts off his coaster season at I/X Indoor Amusement Park in Cleveland Ohio!!   Also, another bright note, Big Mike signed up for Leviathon Bash in Canada this week also, what other Valuable Big Mike Readers are going to be there???   Today's episode of The Big Mike Road Show comes to you from Zuccotti Park, home of Occupy Wall Street!   Big Mike went under cover, which means no World Tour T-shirt, and snuck in under the radar to see what was going on in there!   Here is what I found out, hope you enjoy!   Peace, Big Mike      Zuccotti Park!  Why is Big Mike there? Big Mike is at Occupy Wall Street!! The whole park is fenced off to keep all the undesireables inside! Big Mike was going to try and go inside, but with Outlaw Bobby in there, Big Mike had second thoughts for his safety! Big Mike manned up and decided to go for it!  The city decorated the park very nicely for the protesters. Artwork too! Big Mike has made it inside and sits in on a lecture on how to stay warm. Yep, Big Mike has fully infiltrated Occupy Wall Street now! Big Mike has come to the conclusion that there are some weird types in here. The police can try as hard as they want, this is one guy they won't be able to evict! This is a nice touch, they have cornered off an area for the bird's Occupy Wall Street! The birds are actually treated pretty well! Big Mike hung out and just listened since there were no hot babes to hit on. This can't be that hard, just sit here all day and do nothing, that's a job Big Mike could handle! THERE IT IS!!!  Big Mike is officially occupying Wall Street!!! Send me over a paper since I am bored already! Big Mike can one day remember back when he was part of this movement, but for now, there are too many other things to do in planning for The Big Mike Road Show 2012 World Tour to just be sitting around! I am outta here!   Hope you enjoyed!   Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mike Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 I HAVE FOUND THE WILD CARD! FACT: The quest I was missing was the Mikestry Card.  FACT: I went for the card at Jeepers! in Southfield, MI, and it was no longer there.  FACT: I then tried for the card at Busch Gardens Tampa, and it too was no longer there.  And now, I've finally made up for that by finding the Wild Card!  The card is on page #463  Glad to be still in this competition!   CONGRATS TO JON!!!   WELCOME TO THE FINALS!!!   Please pick a number between 1 and 35, excluding the numbers picked already which are 11, 13, and 24.   Super Shawn and Coreys Junk and picknyourseat when you find your Mikestery Crad also need to pick a number by Sunday!   Looks like a 1 in 6 or 1 in 7 shot now to win the Grand Prize!   Good luck to all, as everyone left gets Big Mike's stamp of approval!   Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality15 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks, everyone and the big guy! After two failures trying to get a Mikestry card, I was not about to lose the wild card round! Â I'm going to pick Kara's lucky number, 4. She said she "has a good feeling about it," and since I daren't defy my wife, I guess that's what I'm going with.
