Volt Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 On my way to Tijuana yesterday, I stopped by Seaworld from 10am to 1pm. I was looking for you, Big Mike, but I couldn't find you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 I am SOOOOOOOO sorry Cody!!  I did meet the other 3 guys, but I didn't get to ride with them either.  I did some picture taking and they were gone when I went back  I was looking through my pictures from WCB tonight and when I got to yours, I said to myself, it looks like we would get along real good and lo and behold, you were at Belmont!  I am bumming right now  I got stuck at Sea World. To make a long story short, Atlantis does not open until noon, which I did not know. I did a lot of the rest of the park and when I went to ride Atlantis again, it broke down and they kicked everyone out of line. An hour later I tried again, and it broke again! I finally got on it at about 5:30.  I think I rolled into Belmont at about 6:20.  Sorry Pal, another time for sure!   Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volt Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Yea, I woulda stayed all day if it weren't for stupid Atlantis  P.S. At WCB you told me you'd return my PM and you didn't. Makes me feel sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoasters Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 ^He's got a lot going on... I would give him a little more time (I learned that lesson the hard way today! ) Â @ Crazy4Coasters - I sent you a PM... but I don't think you got it (My sent box doesn't show) I will try it again now! Â @ Big Mike - If only I stayed for about 10 more minutes, I could have atleast got a picture with you and one good run on the Giant Dipper. I would have delt with the pain one more time if we met there. The ride ops want the lap bar to be at a certain point, but it happens to be a very tight squeeze on my giant man thighs! lol (I will post a picture of the bruise when the color is best) Â I think that is odd that SeaWorld would keep Journey closed until noon... as I recall it was perfect water coaster weather in San Diego early in the morning! I hope the rest of the park wasn't as much of an issue as the coaster! Anyways, I can't wait to see the big update you'll have from several days of too much fun! (Is there such a thing as too much fun?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hello great Friends!!!   What a fantastic time I had at West Coast Bash!!  I figured that since everybody will do a trip report with the same pictures, and I just reviewed Magic Mountain last year, I would just concentrate on the most important thing:  The Valuable Big Mike Readers that I met!!!!   I will do a trip report in a few days, consisting of Kristen's birthday party, the Pre Bash Party, and some random West Coast Bash pictures!   Thanks to EVERYONE who came up and said hello and had their picture taken with me, that made me VERY happy!  Here are all the pictures coming up in the next 3 posts! WOW, thats a lot of people  Even if you did not attend West Coast Bash, see how many friends of yours that you know!  I will put the picture number down, and I please ask you to post which picture # is yours, your real name, your screen name, the names of any family or friends in the picture with you, and what you thought of and how you were treated by Big Mike, good OR bad!!! Also tell me if you won a prize and what it was since I did not get to see who won what!!!  Throw in anything else you want to add too!  Plus everyone I meet I put on my "friend list" on TPR!  Even if I know you already, please respond with the info to make it official for the contest!  When you tell me your picture, I will go back and change the info so you get credit for completing one quest in The Big Mike Road Show 2009 Most Valuable Reader of the Year Contest for a One Week Free Condo Stay!!!!   Have fun looking at the pictures and seeing how many people made funny faces behind us!!

Crazy4Coasters! Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Well Big Mikey Mike I must say I like how you captured my anger and resentment of forcefully taking a picture with you. Hopefully there's better one's on me in your heart... Ok enough with the butt kissing before people and myself start puking  Well I'm #20 and my real name is Josue but you guys can call me Josh just because many won't be able to pronounce it at first glance I go under the screename "crazy4coasters" and truth be told I think Big Mike actually fell head over heels for the little guy (that would be me, all 5' 5" of me) but it's true Big Mike's charm did rub off on me throughout the day and for that I'm forever in your debt. I had a blast with Big Mike and I actually did win prizes, yes PRIZES from Big Mike! Well My good friend can't wait until the next time we meet! Until then buddy.... PEACE!!!  -Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyyyper Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Am I the first one to notice that Big Mike looks the same in each and every picture... Â I'm starting to suspect Big Mike randomly photoshops himself into pictures of other people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Am I the first one to notice that Big Mike looks the same in each and every picture... Big Mike looks the same because there is only one, true, genuine Big Mike. All others would be imposters and not look anything like Big Mike.

jray21 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'm #91, Joey Ray, jray21. I was treated very kindly by Big Mike. The paparazzi was tough to get through, but I got my picture. Didn't win anything, maybe next year. Â The wife is #92, Amy Ray, not a member, yet. She didn't win either, but still had a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler said to be sure to say THANK YOU for autographing his card for him.  Edited to attach the photos.  John   Tyler   Whitney   Charlie   Jesse   Kevin   Marie  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
