Homeboy23 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Ha! Ya I missed that one to. Na, let it count, I'll win the next time.
SuperShawn Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 ^^ I already had my guess of 7 locked in. Since Big Mike said the Scad 2 picture was a ducky, Im crossing my fingers for lucky number 7. That was the one I wasn't sure on.
Yellow Jacket Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Is this a game of skill or random luck? There is not much about the Scad II duckie that is uniquely identifiable as a ducky. It doesn't really even look yellow. However, if the intent of the game is to count the obvious duckies plus make a random guess about the other unidentifiable blotches in the photos then count it.
traincrossin Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 ^It was cloudy so it isn't as yellow as it usually is? You have to take those kinds of chances.
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 ^ Sorry Dude, IggyACE circled an object on Scat 2 that was strategically placed between HIMSELF and HIS SON. If it's NOT a ducky, I'll eat my hat!!!!! PS - Whatever happened with that Shock Hound contest? -Mr. Bebe Haha... good news for you, looks like you wont be eating your hat this time. Bad news for me... I lost another round of find the duckie! I actually just recently asked my DM about the contest cause I've been super curious. He said that he has district standings, but is waiting till they come up with the store and individual standings before letting everyone know. The contest is still running though. I've been busting my ass at work talking to customers to try and get them to sign up. As soon as I hear anything else, I'll be sure to post it in the original thread that I started for the contest.
Pirouettes907 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 How silly is it that I actually counted 6 duckies and then somehow forgot about one in the time before I posted that I had found 5! Oh well, guess it doesn't matter because I missed the Scat 2 one anyway. Better luck for me on the next round I hope! ~Megan

Big Mike Posted July 28, 2009 Author Posted July 28, 2009 OK Everybody, I started the Kings Island update but it is too big with too many friends to finish tonight, sorry! I will have it up tomorrow! In the mean time, I had one brand new, super hot, collectors edition Valuable Big Mike Reader Pin left over from the Scandi trip and I would like to give it away to the 1st person who helps me come up with a picture that I am way too lazy to go try to find on here in TPR Land! The 1st person who posts the picture of Big Mike at West Coast Bash with the line to get the pictures taken with him gets the pin!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck! Also, Colin and John, PM me your addresses so you will be on the top of the list when the next shipment of Valuable Big Mike Reader Pins come in since you guys guessed who the 1st person to wear a pin was and who won the 1st annual TPR Grand Prix! Peace, Big Mike
Big Mike Posted July 28, 2009 Author Posted July 28, 2009 You win good buddy!!! PM me your address and the pin will be on the way! Also, Congrats for being in 1st place!!!!!! Peace, Big Mike
SuperShawn Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 PMing you the info now! Can't wait to get my Button to wear proudly. Also thanks! Now the hardest part, I gotta get me a Mikestry Treasure Hunt Card! And win another round of find the Ducky.
The Bebes Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 SuperShawn, Congrats on the pin AND being the ONLY other person to share first place (in the ducky game) with Mr. & Lady Bebe. Do you have any potential trips planned where you might be able to score an unclaimed Mikestery Card???
SuperShawn Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 ^ Congrats to The Bebe's in also bing in first place with me as well. But lets not forget the other person sharing the spot with us as well: coreysjunk And currently I don't have any trips planned where I can snag an unclaimed Mikestry Treasure Hunt Card, How ever I might have to figure out an excuse to travel some where and get one! Possibly over to AZ or NM after Big Mike makes that trip.
Big Mike Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 Hello Fantastic Friends!!!!! This next park was declared "The park that the most TPR people wanted Big Mike to visit". KINGS ISLAND!!! Big Mike was happy to oblige, especially since he still needed 4 credits there and one of them was the newly opened Diamondback!!! The Valuable Big Mike Readers did not disappoint, as we had a nice big turnout The park is so big and covered so often, that Big Mike did not rush around this time trying to get pictures of everything, plus he wanted to hang out with the really cool people! Hope you enjoy! Peace, Big Mike Zach (PKI ManJZ) checks off Ohio on The Official Big Mike Road Show T-Shirt!!! Who better than the Kings Island man himself??? Hope you enjoyed everybody! Come out and say hello sometime soon! Peace, Big Mike The late crew at King's Island including Jared (Reon) The early crew at King's Island, which included Craig and Gage all day long! Rebecca! Zach! ... and friends! Ken and James! A GREAT day of coasters... Son of Beast. Backlot Stunt Coaster. Vortex. Rugrats Runaway Reptar. Fairly Odd Coaster. Invertigo. We will close out Kings Island with some shots from high up in that tower. Flight Deck. Son of Beast. Drop Tower. Congo Falls. Delirium. Viking Fury. Adventure Express. Monster. Zephyr. Vortex. Dodgem. The Beast held Big Mike's #1 spot for a long time, and is still one of Big Mike's favorite coasters! Beast. Once the interviews were over, it was time to go help out the park index a little. Crypt. Once Big Mike was done with his new credits, it was once again time to do some interviews and continue to get The Big Mike Brand Name out to the people! Overview. The last credit of the day was the Racer! Racer has two sides and counts as two credits, but Big Mike could not remember which side he rode before he became a "Coaster Collector", so he only counted it as one until he rode both sides. Big Mike's coaster count has integrity! Coaster credit #774 for Big Mike! The Racer! The boys little brother started crying and hugging Big Mike because HE wanted to ride with Big Mike too!!! All was ok in the end as Big Mike treated the kids to a treat. All went well and we posed for a picture after the ride.... but then.... trouble!!!! Credit #773 for Big Mike! We found a very nice family that let me ride with one of thier sons Little Bill's Giggle Coaster! I bet you are thinking, "Hey, Big Mike messed up, its the same picture!" Nope, this Brian deserves DOUBLE CREDIT!!! Not only did he tip us off, he also ESCORTED Big Mike to the kiddie coaster where you need a kid to ride and he WALKED THROUGH THE LINE ASKING PARENTS FOR A KID TO RIDE WITH ME!!!!!! Now THAT is COOL!!!! I LOVE when Big Mike gets "special" treatment! Big Mike on the left side of the picture! See, I tell ya, that gold shirt really sticks out The lift. Craig is sticking his head out and you can see Big Mike's sexy legs 3rd over in the top row. Big Mike is super happy with the secret info and got right on for Credit #772 for Big Mike! This is Brian and he is a really cool guy that came to Big Mike's rescue and actually hunted us down after we went to ride another ride and told us that Firehawk was ready to open!!! He deserves to be recognized for the outstanding effort he put forth to help out Big Mike!! Next we were going to try and hit Firehawk since Big Mike needed that credit and because it is a very slow and low capacity ride. It was not open yet. Yep! Big Mike really liked Diamondback, as these are his favorite type of coasters to ride. Splashdown. Hmmm, that tower looks like a nice place to get a splashdown picture? Big Mike's favorite restraints in the world! Drop. Lift. Overview. Oh yeah! Diamondback! Credit #771 for Big Mike! Why was I here again? I also met this cool dude, but misplaced his name. Please post! Zach (PKI ManJZ) Rebecca (SakuraElizabeth) Craig (Iggyace) James (jamesdillaman) I was real happy to see some old and new TPR friends that came out to say hello! Ken (slither37) Of course, Big Mike still has to do a little TPR Park Index loving, just not as much as usual. Kings Island!
DiSab Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Great as always Big Mike. Question - do you know if they were testing SoB all day or only part of the day?
Homeboy23 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 ^ He went before they closed it. Great photos again Mike.
LJGoBlue Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Great TR Big Mike! I can't wait until Friday when I get out to the park. Looks like you had a lot of fun.
Reon Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Your making me kind of sad now, Big Mike. You barely even recognized me until that last group pic, and I dont know if your going to bother with Coney...
CorkscrewFoley Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Sweet four more credits for you Big Mike, although some of us, including myself would count Racer as TWO.
PKI Jizzman Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Hey Big Mike! I've been waiting for this update! The awesome guy you were with that led you to Firehawk and Little Bill's is Brian Kosmak. He's a rides manager at Kings Island! He's a cool guy. I'll let him know you said hey and thanks when I go in today! It was great meeting up with you. Thanks for letting me check Kings Island off the list! You're more than welcome back anytime dude! Let me know if you're in the area! -Zach
Brandy524 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Looks like a great time was had by all. Great pictures, as always!
Flyingcoasterfreak Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Mike, Just an FYI, The Boomerrang at Eltichs is still down. It will not be up for roughly 2 weeks. They have been shutting Halfpipe down around 1pm until 4:30pm daily. It's suggsted that you ride it first thing.
