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


Recommended Posts

Your doing exactly what I hope my health holds up to let me do what i want to when I retire. You even have footage to prove the wonder woman thing wasn't a delusion!

 

I'm also glad you didn't try passing the one with the bigger arm than big mike in your weight loss thread

 

ps. Your really putting my mini jaunt to Adventure Island (uk) to shame - GWARN!!

Six Flags should build a park here in Orlando!

 

Too bad that it would get killed by Disney and Universal.

 

Great shots! I love the shot of El Toro going down the drop with the lift also in the photo (it' my computers wallpaper now). Keep em' coming!

WOW! That Six Flags has a lot more coasters than I thought.

 

I agree, their park map I saw a few weeks ago at their site doesn't do this park justice. It honestly looked pretty boring in the map, but Mike, your pics brought it to life!

 

You are one of my new heroes!!

So, Blondie is now playing the theme-park circuit.

 

June 8th - Hell yeah, I'll be there!

 

Larry,

I had jury duty with Debbie Harry! Well, I almost had it with her. She got dismissed from our jury before it started.

 

Hey Mike,

How was J. Rockets? Good eats, right?

Agreed! Great TR! It actually motivated me to get myself over there today.

 

Great TR! You took some really amazing photos! Especially of Great American Scream Machine, most people just pass the ride by. They may take like 2-3 pictures, but you took many more! Great job! Plus the El Toro pictures! AMAZING!! You are really good at photographing roller coasters!

Speaking of GASM, I don't know if it was just today or what, but the trims after the first loop were off, and we FLEW through the first half of the ride. I didn't think I'd notice that big of a difference with the trim off, but you can really tell when you hit loop 2, loop 3, and the uphill turn into the MCBR. Has anyone else that's been on GASM so far this season (last weekend and this one) noticed this?

 

Overall, good day, the longest we waiting for anything was 10 minutes. Between the weather and the fact that I don't think a lot of people know the park is open already, the crowd level was pretty low.

Hey Friends!!

 

Another weekend, another coaster trip to report on

 

The Big Mike Road Show decided to take a ride out to Long Island NY this weekend and finish up the credits out that way.

 

Hope you enjoy!

 

 

Peace, Big Mike

The rest of the park.

The other coaster is the Ladybug!

Both coasters are back to back with each other, looking like they are going to hit each other.

The first coaster at the park is the Hurricane!

A list of the rides and how many tickets each cost too.

If you are going to ride all the way out here, you need to know the prices!

049.JPG.fa09b3a42b416d8a736f95074c2c974d.JPG

Adding another stop to the Big Mike Road Show, stop #12 to be exact, it's Adventureland!

One mile away is Country Fair. RCDB had a coaster listed here, so I had to find out if it was operational. It was.... 10 years ago.

As usual, Big Mike strikes out at ANOTHER water ride and any chance of hot bikini pictures.

024.JPG.cc65d67ec5914a75d8ccc22e5ff41631.JPG

I think this is the first Red Bull vending machine I have ever seen.

007.JPG.ad1d91d2f7c08a0ed9f86a409b7e8bb0.JPG

an outdoor carousel!!!

005.JPG.b588af9ec15c44e9af822690bd0c92e7.JPG

I don't see this too often. Here is an indoor carousel, and about 50 feet away is....

022.JPG.f0eff339d79248e6c139321a337aab2e.JPG

More rides at the park.

004.JPG.6f37753027146bdda6f1424f12b2d0d0.JPG

Here is the price list for the coaster and the rides I am about to show you.

After an exchange of more insults, we leave with a mutual respect for each other.

018.JPG.8af00e59b12c4e3eac56bb3dba592cb8.JPG

He sticks his tongue back out at me. "Your still a loser for driving all the way out here to ride me."

036.JPG.81daa85b80f4ca9d7335f6a125d352b5.JPG

Yeah! Credit number 572! I stick my tongue back out to the coaster. "I got you!"

013.JPG.b5da97bdc39747844f3761b844625c38.JPG

If this coaster gets stuck on the lift hill and we have to do an emergency evac, I am falling right through these steps for sure.

034.JPG.444de4ba72c3fe1631840793b2649fec.JPG

I got in line with some other hardcore coaster whores.

046.JPG.26fdf2a835c31fe26500a9e9d8e57a40.JPG

Looks exciting. Time to go ride.

045.JPG.d6979b0fb7b33eb190ea76a1d8aa7891.JPG

The usual lift hill shot from Big Mike.

019.JPG.7f8ae1f7cda069ed35d14b3b7c14ef23.JPG

Here is the coaster. This coaster is not laughing at me like most, but sticking its tongue out at me.

028.JPG.a7e19b9af3f18ac5a65def53cd5559e9.JPG

Since this is an out of the way park, I figure most of you have not seen the layout.

017.JPG.ba8a14c5f479ee59760afd657938ae20.JPG

Here is the reason I drove all the way out here, The Family Coaster.

027.JPG.82f957a1f4dc5eec6f7941f1a27ad0a9.JPG

First stop, Boomers!

002.JPG.343f042fded073e0ba49f1f900aba6d8.JPG

First, I had to go over the George Washington Bridge where you are not supposed to take pictures. I am a rebel.

085.JPG.7d9ea99cf74d55bde874435611902f32.JPG

Woke up and checked out the weather report for SFNE and decided to put the top down and head out to Long Island instead.
