Big Mike Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 I have not received the final itiniery yet from Craig, but I would lean towards Tuesday, the day after Memorial Day. I fly out of Chicago, so it makes sence. I think Craig may be waiting on the weather to make sure we hit all the parks, but it will definately be Mon or Tue! Peace, Big Mike
spaceace12 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I am tempted to run down to Holiday World and meet with you on Friday. Depends on Cash flow.
TheRapidsNerd Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Sorry to hear about the laptop crash. Feel for you and know that all too well. Glad you had back-ups of the important stuff and hope the Big Mike World Headquarters Master Computer is running again soon. Like they say in the computer biz, "Shift happens."
Reon Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Hey Big Mike! Sorry to hear about your computer... Anyways, I got my hours for the weekend today. I only have the early shift at Coney, so I should be able to grab some ERT on Diamondback before work, then I'll be free again around 3:30ish...I'll try to grab a good ride that day, like the coaster or something. Cant wait til Saturday!
tigerxeyez Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I know I'm way behind...but I love the Wild Animal Park update! Especially the baby cheetah!
Speeddeamon128 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Sorry to here about your laptop Big Mike. Have fun in Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, and Indiana!
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 That sucks about your laptop Big Mike! I've unfortunately had the same thing happen. Fortunately, the first thing that I do after I upload photos or music to my computer is put it all on a portable hard drive and lock it in my fire/water proof safe, so I never lost anything. Have fun at Holiday World! If I remember correctly, you have never ridden Voyage. If you haven't, you are in for a treat, and if you have, you already know this! P.S. These past few updates have been amazing!

mcjaco Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I believe I will might be headed to SFGAm on Monday. Purely for the entertainment of the whole event. And I need to get my season pass.......shhhhh.
ratdogg68 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I'm off Friday, may have to just take a drive to Holiday World. Will know for sure tomorrow.
kumba830 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I will probably be at SFGAm on Monday, but I would only meet up for a ride or two since I will be with my non-enthusiast friends.
traincrossin Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Unfortunately i'm working on Saturday so I can't meet up with you at King's Island, but I might be going to SFGAm on monday (I have school on tuesday)
Jojo19799 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Are you for sure going to SFGAM on Monday? If you are, that's great since I'm off. However if you're going Tuesday, I can still meet up but it won't be until after 3:30, and I know the BMRS has a pretty packed schedule this weekend.
BamBam36 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 OMG finally!! As of last year some point you hadn't been to Holiday World if my memory serves me correctly. I'm VERY happy to hear that you are FINALLY making it to ride The Voyage. Cant wait to hear your thoughts
Big Mike Posted May 19, 2009 Author Posted May 19, 2009 I will have to get with Craig later tonight when I give Him m airline info and see if we have an updated schedule! It seems that everybody meeting at Six Flags Chicago can make Monday, but not Tuesday. Get back to you soon! Peace, Big Mike
Jojo19799 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I can meet up Tuesday, but it would be after work. I think my boss would get a little suspicious if I called in after having a three day weekend!!
Big Mike Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 Hey Friends!!!! Good and bad news!! The bad news is that Big Mike Productions was pumping out trip report after trip report so fast, all filled to the rim with useful info, awesome pictures, and top notch witty humor that.... ....doing all of this non stop blew up The Big Mike Road Show motherboard on the Super Computer! Either that or all the sexy hot babes that were posted blew the motherboard, but one of those did. Thus, the Big Mike Road Show Super Computer is done! Finished! Kaput! Now the good news! Big Mike Productions and everybody at Big Mike World Headquarters now has replaced the Super Computer already with a new Super Duper Computer!!!!! We are back in business.... as soon as Big Mike figures out how to use it lol. Since The Valuable Big Mike Readers were inconvienenced, I will add one more bit of good news. The Big Mike Road Show 2009 has listened to the Valuable Big Mike Readers requests and can now announce that The Big Mike Road Show WILL switch plans and hit Six Flags Chicago at opening on Monday Memorial Day to meet up with all the cool TPR people!!!!!!! Theres still time to add your name to the ever growing list of cool people now meeting up at each park!!! Peace, Big Mike
Reon Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 After JZ brought up the idea of Holiday World this week, I cleared up some time for a trip friday. So, I might meet you for the friday leg, if not just for HW. I've yet to go to Beech Bend, but I dont know if its worth it with all the driving I'd have to do...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 After JZ brought up the idea of Holiday World this week, I cleared up some time for a trip friday. So, I might meet you for the friday leg, if not just for HW. I've yet to go to Beech Bend, but I dont know if its worth it with all the driving I'd have to do... Yeah, I was considering tomorrow and Friday, but tomorrow kind of pushed the way in. Even though I KNOW you CAN'T get enough of Big Mike, I'm going to see him on Saturday! -Zach
kumba830 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Great to hear your going to SFGAm on Memorial day! I'll now try as hard as I can to get over their and meet you and some of the "cool" TPR members.
jamesdillaman Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I'll be at Kings Island only a short time, but hopefully I can find you. I'm only available from around noon until 4pm. I took someone's shift from them that night. Darn me for being a nice guy, but I know he wanted off for his son's birthday, so I passed up on themepark time for it... grrrrr. -James Dillaman

Even though I KNOW you CAN'T get enough of Big Mike, I'm going to see him on Saturday! -Zach I figured you'd push for Wednesday, but I'm too busy with training, so I have to go with Big Mike instead.
IggyACE Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 UPDATE TBMRS might leave SFGAm around 6:30 pm to catch dinner and catch the Little Dipper at Kiddieland. Big Mike does not have this credit and the park is not open Tuesday and is closing after this year. Hope all the Big Mike fans can understand!
silvercrew1 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Hey Big Mike can I make a request?! I'll be working at the sales windows at Kings Island this Saturday starting at 8:00 AM. You should come say hi!
Big Mike Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 I would be happy tp come say hello! Where exactly is the sales window? Peace, Big Mike
