Recommended Posts

I will call my mom tomorrow and inform her of this amazing thread!!! (She worked all day yesterday and today)

 

I told her she was in the running, and she didn't believe me!

 

Hopefully this will motivate her to log in and post!

I believe this is quite an accomplishment and Janice should be extremely proud of herself to beat out those young punkettes! I am going to put away those marshmallow Peeps and start working out in the hopes that Big Mike and I cross paths this year. If I am lucky, I might be standing up there next year with Big Mike and Janice as she finishes her reign and passes on her crown to Miss BMRS 2009!

 

Congrats again Janice!

And knowing that Elissa exploded out of her vagina makes her even more hot!

So THAT'S where babies come from!

Yes it's true! ALL babies come from Elissa's mom's vagina. I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP!

You can see the Sky Ride course from up top.

The Sky Tower.

The last rides at the park are the Sky Tower and the Sky Ride.

Both rides are free with your Platinum Pass.

The Sky Ride was closed today though.

There are also 3 kiddie rides to enjoy like Oscar's Rocking Eel.

145.JPG.d3cae0f5d0df3fba408f26b788193f12.JPG

... and part of it is a dry section.

148.JPG.65807fade8bff4e2134d3a1a8a5300e1.JPG

Part of it is a water section...

118.JPG.272de38a0ed4be5f9da0346ed3f663d0.JPG

Overview.

147.JPG.153ff2c14d78b38053bf7c1505543361.JPG

The Bay of Play is for the little kids at the park.

197.JPG.fc92c5226fb825452e8dc12db40b1432.JPG

This lift is pretty cool as both sides spin and churn the water.

199.JPG.1f8ce5a8de25e44bcc86d897c57a789f.JPG

Shipwreck Rapids is another ride at the park.

027.JPG.bd712ed7601109db43cdfe8716180b0b.JPG

I also got to see the polar bears too!

 

This bear was caught praying to be on The Big Mike Road Show!

030.JPG.b91c6a9f597119b1a30ef1b98654c0e4.JPG

... the ice wall to cool my head from the beating sun!

019.JPG.79f846cfef4c0738ed8c20b284210d81.JPG

Big Mike opted for the non motion section, as I just wanted to get straight to what I wanted to see...

015.JPG.c8b3d30a87381c4444184065ccca313c.JPG

You can choose what mode of travel you want to take.

014.JPG.545782b6de27ab1e6ca0f1ed45ca9f7a.JPG

Another ride at the park is Wild Arctic.

013.JPG.0bf104811fb78bbc70826f86fd841863.JPG

In the end, it didn't matter, they all just walked right by me.

006.JPG.bca3ae597ce70157d4941ece31110c0e.JPG

Big Mike decides to stay where he is so not to scare the pink flamingos, and this flamingo is a bit confused as to why I am in his way.

012.JPG.4841b09452aa3188a878a6fe773c3b39.JPG

Big Mike decides to have a sit down protest over the Sea Lion show, but the spot he picked is about to be over run by pink flamingos!

167.JPG.c1ce629f2f4ddada6d666b6f6181c0ae.JPG

Shamu is cool, but Big Mike's top show has always been the Sea Lion and Otter Show!

 

Big Mike is heart broken that the show is not scheduled today :(

083.JPG.a23b2a237cad94ae14e254681500fb4f.JPG

Big Mike's favorite part, watching all the idiots getting drenched!

074.JPG.7845adaaf3d991fcc2e92eb7daf58ddf.JPG

The answer is Google Streets!

 

They wanted to get Shamu jumping.

079.JPG.8158c3117ff1363ee9a07db5a80a6f4f.JPG

Yeah, these Platinum seats are pretty good!

077.JPG.4d81aaf1c00ca7e9590eaea130a3f901.JPG

This is a very nice stadium.

069.JPG.7430fca3bab9907ca5b5fc061e853490.JPG

Now what do you think this bike is doing at the show and what is it for?? Take a guess, answer coming soon.

068.JPG.da1f150bca79d62f07cd899d048f197c.JPG

BIG MIKE HELPFUL HINT - These Platinum seats are opened to the general public 10 minutes before the show, so instead of heading to the boondocks, just wait for these.

This picture was taken at the 10 minute mark, lots of great seats to be had!

067.JPG.42c2a731ec1ae6d37f0dbc7f1d6d2797.JPG

This kind of reminds me of some of the VIP seats I usually sit in.

103.JPG.ac198cca23ba8d7b5bdb250c9b0a2d6f.JPG

I guess it didn't hurt that "Big Mike" is a Platinum Passholder himself!

066.JPG.cdae4a2a9e8f0082e1ecc1fce1883209.JPG

The stadium is pretty full except for these reserved Platinum Passholders seats, so Big Mike decides to just take a seat there.

065.JPG.ba96e3c0f6839e88103108d44ac37dc2.JPG

The main draw to Sea World is the Shamu Show.

Still not that wet even after two trips into the water.

178.JPG.4ed4d2d3080c73f5eddc7de77f77298a.JPG

The drop finishes up with a splash landing.

123.JPG.6a1059bfee88967d187835d58e121316.JPG

The 2nd drop.

120.JPG.7857a9beff53f6c293024ff0bbdb6791.JPG

This is the back side of the ride, or the coaster element. You can see a car just coming out of the elevator.

184.JPG.8478ee9a4f0af601dc7f2bfec9ba708e.JPG

Once you have gone down the drop, the course doubles back and brings you up an elevator.

183.JPG.822e06c0d4e0009438d31d1d2d8aa35d.JPG

Previously mentioned drop.

133.JPG.3b0c4b5d8f1381c18dd0c5ac7d916daa.JPG

This is the front of the ride and you can see the lift on the left. As soon as you climb the lift, it turns around and sends you down the drop that you can see here in the picture as well.

Great TR as always Big Mike! I love Sea World and all these photos just make me miss it more than I already do! I wish I was heading there soon, it's the closest a Mikestery card will probably ever get to me!

 

One thing that I found really strange/awesome: I've never seen the flamingos walk around the park before! Every time I go they're always all just standing in their exhibit. That's so awesome, yet I'd be scared as hell if I was there, hahaha. Did they react to the guests at all or did they just calmly stroll through the park?

Big Mike!

Great Photo TR, and awesome tip about the seats.

P.S. I have a feeling Calicoasters might get this card

 

I concur about the TR, but not about me going to SeaWorld. I don't have that kind of money... right now.

 

But hopefully Big Mike left one of those little treasures at Belmont Park (Who knows )

 

I wish Big Mike made a KBF stop this year, I would have loved collecting one today!

 

Sucks the Sky Ride was closed, I've always wonder if there is anything to do on the other end of that ride! I've seen that Cirque show before, it is pretty good. I have an Unlce who lives on the bay and he parked his boat right by the stadium.

WOW!!

 

We have another winner!!!!

 

Congrats Matthew!!!

 

 

I am very happy that the Mikestery Card was still there

 

I think it was just the fabric of that stroller that messed things up!

 

 

I will update page #1 on my thread soon with current up to date contest standings!!!

 

 

By the way, it is AMAZING how quickly these Mikestery Treasure Hunt Cards are being retrieved!!!

 

 

Congrats again to all 3 winners so far!!

Great Trip Report Big Mike! I always love Sea World! I especially loved the big fish kiss pic! lol

 

I had my DVR recording the crowning of the Queen, but then my son revealed that he messed with the settings and it didn't tape after all. Oh well, there is always next time!

 

Can't wait for the next installment of the BMRS, and for the duckies to start rolling in!

 

 

 

P.S. We cancelled Oneill's for Friday, but moved it to 05/29/09!
