njf1003 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 All of the rest of the coasters on your trip will be OPEN (well at least I hope so)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 I hope so! Â This feels like my Guadalahara trip where only half the coasters were open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyBo Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Big Mike is awesome and can't wait to hang out with the Big Man in a couple days. WOO! Â Jimmy "Big Mike is my hero that wears a yellow shirt" Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude28 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 It's a good thing you didn't plan to leave a few days later. LaGuardia was shut down for a good portion of the day today after some incident with a crazy guy. Not too sure on the details as I just caught the tail end of the report. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 I can't wait either Jimbo, cause your equally as awesome!! Â I will let you know when I book the hotel in AZ so we can do a breakfast date before the coasters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 I heard about LGA this morning! Â I was there at that time yeserday, luckily 1 day earlier than the dope trying to bring in a fake bomb into the airport! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depotrat Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Big Mike: Â Your trip is starting out like one Casey and I took in 2007! We left CT before dawn and drove six hours to our first stop - Jeepers in Rockville MD. We get there just before opening and there is a sign on the door that they went out of business the day before!!! We found out the Jeepers in Parkville had closed too so we lost our first two credits of the trip. Â The good news was we never lost one the rest of the way. Hope your trip picks up the same way and you get the rest of the credits on your schedule. Â Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 I sure hope so, missing 10 credits in the first 2 days puts a big dent n the total! Â Â Just to update, the sun is down and there is still 186 miles to go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traincrossin Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Jimmy "Big Mike is my hero that wears a yellow shirt" Bo I thought Big Mike wore a gold shirt? Â It's a bummer that so many coasters have been closed this far. Hopefully the rest of the trip will be more rewarding. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Darn! Â I was going to PS Jimbo that it is a GOLD shirt, but I forgot! Â Â Great news Patrick, we took our first funny hat picture in a long time for you today since you requested it! Â Â 160 miles to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traincrossin Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Great news Patrick, we took our first funny hat picture in a long time for you today since you requested it! Wohoo! Can't wait for more of your amazing reports Big Mike, especially your Six Flags Great America report. It will happen in due time though. Since your driving really far, what is the song of choice for the big man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 I loaded up the Ipod with heavy metal, high energy songs, and acoustics! Â The song of choice though is, don't laugh, Lady Gagas Poker Face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
