chadster Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Thanks for the Legoland update Big Mike. Don't let that snub get you down! I too am disappointed with the performance of my videos despite thinking they were darn good. Your Road Show was put together well and had a nice flow, so I dunno, maybe peoples attention spans are too short these days. Personally I'm about ready to invest in a wireless mic, my latest video report had so much wind you couldn't here me talk so I eliminated all background noise and my boring narration. Â Anyway, I'm all for the VTR's, it gives me a chance to showcase my skills, or lack thereof and gives people a chance to see what parks look like in action! Â See you in a week!

beatle11 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I enjoyed the video very much but maybe if it was a bit shorter, it might attract others. That's just my opinion though. Still love the Photo TR's. Thanks, and I'm looking forward to meeting you at Great Adventure in August! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyBo Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Finally got around to watching all the parts of episode 1 Big Man. It was freaking awesome! You really kick some major @$$ Big Man. I love all the segments and I think you through it together really quick. Â One song I recognized on your beautiful singing was "No Leaf Clover" by Metallica on their S&M album. Epic song and you did a damn good job singing that song Big Man. I'm glad the cop didn't pull you over (although that would have made for awesome T.V.) Â Can't wait for the next episode Big Mike!

Big Mike Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Just so you know great buddy JimmyBo, I had a whole introduction taped for you to lead into your video, but You Tube rejected the song and we let it fly on its own after that.  It was a nice, complimenting lead in  Thanks for the awesome video, I watch it way more than my own stuff lol.   Peace, Big (loves JimmyBo) Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first time EVER in the history of The Big Mike Road Show.........   Big Mike has hired 2 brand new interns to come along on his entire Texas trip!!!   Everyone knows that Good Ole Big Mike is not getting any younger, and it is time to start looking for someone who will be able to take over The Big Mike Road Show when he retires and continue to bring all the Valuable Big Mike Readers entertainment for years to come!!!   So, whether Big Mike retires when he reaches coaster #1000, whether it is when The Big Mike Road Show hits 1 million views, or whether it is when Big Mike rides every coaster in the USA, that day is coming sooner or later! Big Mike needs to be prepared so Big Mike has now started......   THE BIG MIKE ROAD SHOW INTERNSHIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!   When Big Mike deems it is appropriate, Big Mike will select a few TPR interns to come along on Big Mike's trips and follow and study The Mighty Big Man, see how he operates, learn from The Master on how to entertain and bring people top notch trip reports, and also how to get clearance to ride all those kid only kiddie coasters! Learn the secret formula of The Big Mike Charm, live the high life in the VIP suites, and most of all, how to make tons of friends along the way.   Big Mike will now be accepting applications right in his thread for anyone who is interested in becoming a Big Mike Road Show Intern!!!   This week's Texas Trip has already been filled, and Big Mike is VERY PROUD to announce that 2 Theme Park Review members will be Big Mike's Interns this upcoming week, and Big Mike is EVEN MORE PROUD to announce that both of them are in the lower 20's, female, and super hotties!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Thus, for this trip only, these two Big Mike hottie interns will now be known as The Big Mike Road Show "Mint"erns, as they are both in mint condition!!!   Thier job as Big Mike Road Show "Mint"erns this week will consist of the following jobs as they learn the ins and outs of The Big Mike Road Show:   Make Big Mike look good with a hot babe on each arm  Ride with Big Mike so he does not have to ride solo.  Carry all of Big Mike's luggage  Take lots of photos of The Big Man  Do some driving if so Big Mike can be refreshed for appearances  Perform security if fans get unruly  Entertain Big Mike when he is on any lines  Scout for any hot babes for Big Mike  Hand out any Big Mike prizes  And lastly, just do any things that other interns may have done in the past!   For completing these tasks, my Minterns will get to go to all the parks on the Big Mike Road Show Texas Trip, drive along in the Big Mike party car, stay in the same hotel and condo with The Big Man, Eat with The Big Man at restaurants, get the same VIP perks as Big Mike, and also have good quality time in the hot tubs!   Watch for updates during the week of the Minterns and Big Mike in Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Now, if you want to meet Big Mike or his two sexy, hot Minterns, here is our schedule:   Friday April 22 - Six Flags over Texas (The New Texas Giant Opening Day) Thats worth being an intern all by itself!  Saturday April 23 - Wonderland and Joyland  Sunday April 24 - Six Flags Fiesta Texas  Monday April 25 - Sea World of San Antonio  Tuesday April 26 - Rest day to lounge in the pools and hot tubs.  Wednsday April 27 - ITz Food and Fun, Zuma Fun Center, Kemah Boardwalk  Thursday April 28 - Buccaneer Days  Friday April 29 - Canton Christmas Tree Farm, Six Flags over Texas  Saturday April 30 - Sandy Lake Amusment Park   Come out and say hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  FREE Big Mike Road Show Valuable Reader Pins to the first 25 people to come up and say hello and ask for one!!!     Finally, the new 2011 Big Mike Road Show shirts are in!!!!!!!
