vistaway Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Great pics! I love the one of Niagara from what I am guessing is the top of MFI's Ferris Wheel. I didn't realize the view was so good from there, but it makes sense. I assume you could also see Dragon Mountain @ Marineland from up there too?

OldJJman Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Take a guess who I am riding with? Hot Babes, little kids, or by myself? Â I guessed wrong. I thought it was for sure going to be hot babes. Â LOL! Mike and hot babes in the same picture??? Â It would take the army at Dreamworks and/or ILM to get a shot like that, and it would be a composite!! Â Â Sorry Mike!

Big Mike Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Mechanic - I hear ya! I saw quite a few hot bikinis on this trip and just shook my head that the Big Mike readers were getting the shaft. I enjoyed them for you guys It's better to play by the rules then chance the thread getting deleted lol.  Coastercrazed49 - The park was pretty much empty when I went too, but no complaints on that from me  Airtime and Gravity - I also thought I was having a bad day there too when they did not open the Moto Coaster for the 1st hour of the day, along with the Boomerang next to it also did not open.   Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Vistaway - The view is not that good! I did see the mist of the falls, but no Dragon Mountain!   Jeff - I will make it my mission to find hot babes to take pictures with and I will post it just for you   Wonder how long this will take!   Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Must....get....fried....dough....and.....root.....beer......float..... Another great set of updates and some beautiful Niagra pics.

bobafett Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Thanks for the shot of the flowers for us ladies, they were beautiful as well as the shots of the falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnguy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Nice updates as always Big Mike. I was right near the Niagara Falls area once, but I never even stopped so it was nice to see what I missed. Â I've been following the road show since before I joined, and I can't wait to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Palooza Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Nice job Big Mike! I wish I could pal around with you on these trips. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi all my good friends!!  Thanks for all of your support and encouragement so far, it is great!   The Big Mike Road Show 2008 decided to cross the border and head over to Canada's Wonderland!  A little back story first, the last 2 times Big Mike has tried to cross the border, it has been a disaster.  This time was no exception.  The Canada Border Patrol LOVES Big Mike, thats what it comes down to.  Three times in a row I have been pulled over, asked to exit the vehicle, and then they ransack my car, pull everything out, go through everything, and then let me on my way.  Lets face facts, if they want a free Official Big Mike Road Show 2008 T-Shirt, they better search harder than they did!  Also, the nerve of them going through my computer and camera to get an advanced showing of the next Big Mike Road Show 2008 trip report!!  Anyway, Canada's Wonderland is an awesome park, huge, pretty, and a lot of fun!  I hope you enjoy my trip report and the beauty that is Behemoth!   Peace, Big Mike   PS - See everyone at Coaster Mania at Cedar Point this Friday So that is what I did!!! Lucky Dog checks off Canada on The Big Mike Road Show 2008 T-Shirt! I hope you enjoyed everybody! Peace, Big Mike Time to eat at the buffet and figure out who will sign The Big Mike Road Show T-Shirt for Canada! Between "I'd rather not" and the border patrol, I was thinking I would rather have my dog sign it than anyone here!! Not quite as impressive as Niagara Falls. This is for the ladies! This concludes the Behemoth pictures folks. Behemoth again. Don't even bother asking. Pick any picture and set it to your wallpaper my friends! Wild Beast! Needed something to break up the long string of coasters they have here. Dragon Fire! Vortex! The Fly! The Ghoster Coaster! The Mighty Canadian Minebuster! Sky Rider! Right about here I was wishing I needed a little kid to ride again and that same lady was next to me in line again. This was fun, but that is where it ended. It's a nice idea for a coaster, but I am not a fan of it. Too much head banging. Time Warp! Credit #594 for Big Mike. I thought this was a good angle to take the picture. Flight Deck! Thunder Run! I'd Rather Not is still ringing through my head. The Bat! One picture of each coaster since they have so many coasters here. Silver Streak! Credit #593 for Big Mike. Taxi Jam! This should have been another credit, but I needed a kid to ride and the Canadians would not part with any of their kids like in the USA. "I'd rather not" was the response I got. There will be bare minimum pictures of coasters here to show you an album of Behemoth at the end Backlot Stunt Coaster! Credit # 592 for Big Mike. I will save the best for last, meaning Behemoth pictures at the end. This Hot Rod is almost as cool as Big Mike's Hot Rod. I like the seats, 2 inside, then 2 outside. This way if I am riding with someone stinky, I get the far away seats. Riding with a hot babe, get the close seats! Just so the people don't burn to a crisp, they plunge them in this pool to put out the fire! My favorite part of the ride is this fire element that burns the people in the front seat on the first drop! Behemoth!!! Coaster #591 for Big Mike. Big Mike's prediction is as good as gold! I will not guarentee a victory, but I will guarentee I beat the guy with the turbin behind me! A sight that seems to be getting very familiar, Big Mike ready to race the crowd at the rope drop. Canada's Wonderland get thumbs up from Big Mike! The Big Mike Road Show 2008 headed into Canada and it seems that the word has even got to outer space on where Big Mike will be heading next!

TheRapidsNerd Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 My favorite part of the ride is this fire element that burns the people in the front seat on the first drop! Â Behemoth pulls an X2! Nice! Â This is probably my fave update thus far. Great Behemoth pics, that also include parts of the water park, and SkyRider. Those are three things I just really like. Thanks Big Mike!

coolhandluke Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I like how Big Mike took a couple pics of him in front of the "B *E* H E M O T H" display out front and then talked about "B*o*hemoth" in the caption. Â Really, though, great pics! Look forward to the other parks on your lengthy list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hey Everybody!! Â Â I know that with all of these trip reports, you really only get to see Big Mike in his Official Big Mike Road Show 2008 T-Shirt all the time.... Â So..... Â Â .....In honor of my Red Wings winning the Stanley Cup last night, I have a picture to share with you! Â Â Peace, Big Mike Go Wings! I have a lot of pictures of me at The Joe or at a previous Red Wing parade if the demand calls for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vistaway Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Great photos of CW! You picked a nice day to visit. Shame about the Taxi Jam credit. If you need a Woodstock or Jr. Gemini one this Friday, I am sure my son would love to help you out. Â As for Canada Customs, it sure sounds like they have you or your license plates on a list. Three times? Yikes. I cross once or twice a month and have never had any trouble either direction. We'll see if tonight goes smoothly. Â See you tomorrow, bright and early. Once again I'm sure there will be a stupidly-long line for coffee, and once again, I will be in it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Nice photos... maybe I missed it, but I tried to read every caption... Did the breaks on Behemoth affect the ride at all? Are they like Raging Bull? Just curious Thanks for the pics and keep them coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I got Jr. Gemini the legit way when I was a kid ) Â Taxi Jam I finally got last year when I took my niece on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hello Everyone!   The Big Mike Road Show 2008 has arrived safely in Sandusky Ohio!!   Bright and early this morning for early ERT!!   Paul - I already have the two kids credits here, but we don't need a kid today on Jr. Gemini, we have ERT on it. Where was your neice when I needed her? lol   Joe - Wow, Joe actually said something nice to me Thanks Dude!!   Friss - Maybe it was me, but I don't remember any breaks on Behemoth? But then again, all the coasters are starting to blend together lol. I do remember breaks on something, and as always, I say "BOOOO" when I feel them.   Vistaway - I am almost certain that it is my car, as I got asked about 4 times if this is my car, and I had to show them my registration. Walking over I was fine! Next time it is a rental car for sure.   BIG MIKE HITS COASTER #600 TODAY HOPEFULLY ON MAVERICK!!!   See everyone at Cedar Point today!! Don't forget the secret password. "I wish it was snowing" lol   Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Don't forget the secret password. "I wish it was snowing"  The password, or phrase should now be, "I'd rather not." lol  As always, nice work, Mike. And congrats to your Wings! I was rooting for one of the Original Six!

TheRapidsNerd Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Big Mike, In honor of the Wings, there's a scene in the movie Aspen Extreme you might get a chuckle out of. It's a conversation between the 2 main charactors in the first 20 minutes or so. You'll know it when you hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinacaniac Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 As much as I hate to admit it, the Red Wings played some great hockey this year. Maybe the Canes will get it togeather and have a decent year next season. Â Mike, your pictures continue to please the masses, and I am still looking forward to your others as well as the roadshow's next stop to Kings Dominion laster in the summer!

307 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 .....In honor of my Red Wings winning the Stanley Cup last night, I have a picture to share with you!  Peace, Big Mike Oh god, my eyes! Not a WINGS fan!!! ARGHHHHHH  And congrats to your Wings! I was rooting for one of the Original Six! Screw tradition! Boring defensive hockey winning championships over exciting youthful hockey = recipe for disaster! Welcome back to the Neutral Zone Trap Era! Yuck!  Maybe the Canes will get it togeather and have a decent year next season. They have a better chance than the Leafs, but that's not saying much! You guys need to figure out what "defense" is, and maybe get a goalie who doesn't suck, and you have a shot.  Sorry to hijack the thread, Big Mike, but I'm an insane hockey fan and felt the need to spout my absolute disgust at the damn Red Wings winning ANOTHER Championship with an awful style of play that bores me to tears...  On topic, however, your pics of Behemoth are quite good! I hadn't yet seen them from that angle yet. Taken from near the wavepool in Splash Works, I assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigstevet07 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Great pics Big Mike!! I had no idea Canada's Wonderland had that many coasters. Is Behemoth along the lines of Nitro or Goliath? You should let me know when you are going to be hitting up Fun Plex here in good ole Omaha. If I am in town i will definitely try to meet up with you! I have lived in Omaha for 15 years, and the Big Ohh opened last year. I still don't have my hometown credit. How sad is that. Â By the way, Boo Red Wings. My Flyers just didn't have enough this year. There young though, they'll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
