Mechanic Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yeah, I agree with giving Volt credit for finding the card. Since no one else has produced it, or even made a claim to it, I believe he would have found it if something unforeseeable hadn't happened to it.

Big Mike Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Big Mike coming to you LIVE from intermission at the Broadway show "In The Heights"! Â The voting for the Legoland Mikestery Card is VERY close!! Â If I read my PMs and emails correctly on my Blackberry, I think we are dead tied! Â I will tally up all the private messages when I get home late tonight and will close voting sometime tomorrow! Â I will then post the final results and hopefully the Las Vegas trip report!! Â Â Will it be yes for Volt or will it be a Valuable Big Mike Reader REVOLT?? Â Â Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreditCrazy Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I agree with everyone that says GIVE THE CREDIT TO VOLT! He deserves it and is also pretty good at air-hockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printersdevil78 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Ya know... My first reaction would be... "I had the winning lottery ticket, but I lost it, so pay me anyway!"  BUT... The kid is 14, he DID provide a picture of the actual attempt... Mr. Calicoasters did get one at Belmont... No fuss, no muss.   Give it to him Mikey!!! He earned it.   JJ  I went through pretty much the same chain of thought myself over whether or not Volt should get the credit. And since Jeff seems to have a pretty good reputation for making the *cough* right choice whenever questionable credits are concerned, I'm going to have to agree that Volt should indeed get it.  And if he wins the big prize at the end of the year, he should thank everyone who voted for him by inviting us all to the condo for a big party!

Volt Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Thanks for all of the positive feedback, guys! Â After reading all of these, I was kinda sure I was getting the credit. Â BUT ..... after reading Big Mike's post, I realized people have been PM'ing and e-mailing The Big Man about not giving me the credit. I'm not trying to flame or anything, so if anyone finds this wrong, please contact an ASSistant or Robb and Elissa. Â As I said before about the PM's and e-mails, I think people don't post it in public because they don't want to "hurt my feelings." I want everyone to know that if you want to vote no, to just post it here. I won't be mad if I don't get the credit. I may be a little sad and disappointed, but it's a game, and I can't expect to win all of the time. So please, just post it if you can. Â If I win the grand prize, then there will be a ....... PARTY!! Just bring some food and your party-animal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawrtotheargh Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 ^ what a sport. i'm cheering for you. guess we'll find out soon. Â Big Mike: How was "In The Heights"? I've heard its good but just curious as to how you liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinacaniac Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 GIVE IT TO HIM (CLAP....CLAP....... CLAP CLAP CLAP) GIVE IT TO HIM! (CLAP......CLAP........CLAP CLAP CLAP) Â Had to toss in that chant since you mentioned going to the Yankees game, but I agree with those who say give it to him. Especially since there hasn't been anyone else to claim it. Â -Gary T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenaapple1974 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I agree, VOLT definitely deserves the card. Between no one else showing they found it, going there first, actually taking pics while there, and now for being such a great sport regarding all the "NO" PM's/emails, he definitely deserves it! I don't understand why anyone would say not to give it to him, but hey, everyone is entitled to an opinion. Too bad we never got to see them though, so they shouldn't count in the voting! (Hey, I tried!) Â Mike, hope that game was fun. Can't wait for pics. Living in NY, and never having been to the old stadium (yes, shame on me, considering my hubby is a yankee fan) - hopefully one day I will be lucky enough to go to the new stadium!

Calicoasters Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 ^That's the second time someone mentioned pictures! I did see any of the pictures he took! Â He still gets my vote though. Â EDIT: I just went through all the pages that follow the Legoland report, he didn't post any pictures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volt Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I actually didn't take any pictures, so I don't know why people are mentioning them. Â If this causes them to change their mind, then so be it. I was the first to post it wasn't there anymore, but no pictures because I was expecting the card to be there was going to take pictures at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hello Friends!!!!  The votes are in and now the voting is closed!!!   It was an extreme nail biter!!   Before I tell you the results, let me just answer that I thought In The Heights was awesome!  Had a front row seat and there were a lot of hotties dancing right in front of me   OK, the results:   As explained, this was right down to the wire!!!  The voting was actually decided about 10 minutes before I wrote this!!!!!  The tally had my little buddy Chris (Volt) up by one vote after I tallied ALL the responses and I said to myself: "Self, lets cut the voting in 15 minutes".  Low and behold, someone emails me with 1 minute to go and explains that Chris did NOT take a picture of the area in question and they are switching thier vote from yes to NO now, thus meaning Chris goes from one up for a victory to one down for a loss  The worst part of it all is that Chris did not even vote a yes for himself!!!  That would have made it a tie and Big Mike would have had to break the tie and of course, I would have voted to give my little buddy the card credit!!!!!!!  I am soooooooooooooooooooo sad right now!  The Valuable Big Mike Readers have spoked, and the final results are:   No - 14 Yes - 13   Sorry!   Peace, Big Mike                                             Ha!  I am only kidding good buddy!   By a score of 13 - 0, The Valuable Big Mike Readers UNANIMOUSLY vote to give Volt credit for finding The Mikestery Treasure Hunt Card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Everyone loves my little buddy!!   He He He It was too lopsided, had to add some pizazz to it lol   Private message me your address and Big Mike Productions will send to you in the mail a replacement Mikestery Treasure Hunt Card so that you can take a picture with it and I can post it in my thread to make it official!!   If someone IS holding on to the real card, they have until we get your picture posted to make it OFFICIAL! (not likely)   Also, if Cody wants to take another picture to use, feel free, or I am using the one of your future wife sleeping, and I am not sure if she is going to be thrilled with that lol   Congrats Little Buddy!!! Hope you forgive me for making you nervous   Peace, Big Mike   PS - The Valuable Big Mike Readers are AWESOME! "Big Mike's Little Fan" Chris (Volt)!  You da Man!

Volt Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 WOW! That was so suspenseful! The Big Man is a good storyteller  Anyways, thanks to all of those who voted! I *LIKE* you all  And no worries, I'm not mad. Shoot, if it were that lobsided, you could've just posted that as the official post, waited for my response, and then posted that I actually won  P.S.

Big Mike Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hello Fantastic Friends!!!!   The next stop on The Big Mike Road Show 2009 was at Buffalo Bills right on the border of California and Nevada!   800-386-7867  http://www.primadonna.com   There is one coaster and adults can ride it!   Just for your info, rooms at the hotel were going for $6 a night!   Peace, Big Mike Mikestery Clue #3  THERE IT IS!!  GO FIND IT!!   Hope you enjoyed!   Peace, Big Mike Mikestery Clue #2 Mikestery Clue #1 As I am looking for a place to hide it, I come across a "MIKE B" tag and hope they don't think I put it there. It's time once again for the Mikestery Treasure Hunt Game!!  There was some confusuon as to how big the card actual is, so here is a picture of what you are looking for taken in a random photo op location. Some action shots: There are signs, videos, and verbal warnings to keep your hands down!  Big Mike chalked that up to usual safety info, but was curious as too how much it was stated.  Big Mike decides to buck the system and ride hands up and gets jolted soooo hard on the ride that he decides to follow thier advice. Back of the train. Front of the train. Big Mike knows his viewers demand more from a Big Mike Trip Report compared to anyone elses, so here are some action shots after I bought some tickets! Thanks to Shawn for the buy one get one free coupon!!! The ride ends as you enter back into the building. You exit the mountain and hit one last bunny hop. You make a few spins inside this mountain too. A little tunnel. All of the previous action took place in the rear of the casino, and now you enter the front of the casino. Leaving those two turns, you hit the bunny hops. Big Mike had extra time, so you get two shots of each element. Leaving that first turn, you enter this long sweeping turn. Another turn view. Leaving the tunnel you enter this turn. Exit of the tunnel. You enter a tunnel at the bottom of the drop. Lots of drop angles. Another drop picture. The drop. The lift. A sneak preview of the train which I will get better pics on my return visit.  Lets take a virtual ride with Big Mike for now, describing the whole layout. Desperado facts! Another non Big Mike picture. The reason people stop here, Desperado! Hair raising, unless you are like Big Mike and have no hair! Max Flight Cyber Coaster. You get to choose which one you want! This would have been very fun as there were LOTS of targets to shoot! Here are some pictures of the 6 rides there too!  Frog Hopper. Here are descriptions of the 6 rides there: The hours as of when I went, check to make sure things are open! I went back later in the week. The height chart. The prices. Non Big Mike picture. When I said it was right on the border of CA/NV, I meant it! Here you see the welcome sign and the coaster in the background. Buffalo Bills!

atem122 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Looks like you had a fun time at Buffalo Bill's, the only one I went on when I went was the Log Flume, but with the guns it was actually pretty fun. Did the tunnel at the end of the first drop get to you like it got to my dad (duck and cover lol)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacups Make Me Sick Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 It looks like you had fun at Buffalo Bills...I went there a few years ago and I almost lost my shirt, and not in the casino. Â High desert winds + coaster = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
