Erik Johnson Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Another great update Mike. Yeah, I was wondering about the lack of Larry photos as well. Don't you guys have some sort of game that you need to defeat each other at.
The Bat Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Mike -- Â GREAT update!!! It is fun seeing everyone again in your pics! I SO wish I was there (stupid work).

Beeja Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Mike, my buddy! Â Thanks for a great day at Walibi Belgium! I had a wonderful time with you and your friends! Also thanks for your patience (stupid trains), thanks for the present (I will use it) and thanks for the ice cream (that left a beautiful stain)! Â Nice update, btw! Although it contains too much material of me, I really enjoyed it! Keep up the good work and have fun on the rest of your trip! Â Say hello to Craig and his two cool kids, and to Hanno, Will, Nathan, Robb, Elissa and everybody else I met!
Big Mike Posted June 25, 2008 Author Posted June 25, 2008 DAY #6 WEDNESDAY   Hey Friends!!!!  What a fantastic day today!  I only have an hour of internet and it is already past 1am, so this will be short and sweet.  I will divide this into 3 parts, Bobbejaanland, Toverland, and people pictures!  I probably wont get them all up tonight.  Let me just say that we had free breakfast, lunch, and dinner today, visited 2 parks, and had morning and evening ERT totally over 5 hours.  Life is good when you go on a TPR tour  Hope you enjoy!!   Peace, Big Mike That's it for now. Hope you enjoyed! Peace, Big Mike This banana got a lot of use! Also went on the ferris wheel. Big Mike and Bill! Big Mike and Peter! A shooting game. Big Mike first place AGAIN! I think it may have been too scary for Gage Others too! A 4-D show . Big Mike and Annelise! We also went on some water rides! Credit #628! Bob's Express! Credit #627! This is how long the train is, it is on the other side of the building. The lap bar extends in and out. The train is so long you can't see the end of it from the front car. Revolution! Big Mike! Speedy Bob! Credit #626! Oh yeah, credit #625 was Oki Doki! For the ladies too! For the ladies! I think Chris digs me Oki Doki! Dream Catcher! Credit #624! Typhoon! Credit #623!

Kalepi_Konei Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I love your updates, this is what I call true TPR awesome/randomness! Hope you have a great time on the road ahead of you...!
Big Mike Posted June 25, 2008 Author Posted June 25, 2008 Hey Friends! Â I am not going to make it in time with a full update with captions, so here is the people pictures with no captions since I am pressed for time tonight! Â Hope you see some friends, loved ones, or someone you know! Â Â Peace, Big Mike I miss you Hope you enjoyed! Peace, Big Mike (who wakes up in 4 hours!)
ParkTrips Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 aw dammit I was doing pretty good at not being bummed I'm not over there, then you went and posted Toverland...
thecoasterkid Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 To Divv, Erik, Tim, Mark, and everyone else I know on this trip...I feel really sorry for you guys that you won't be able to join Andrew and I at Waldameer this weekend. It's a dirty shame that you're all too busy prancing around Europe riding coasters and checking out those boring parks. Â Big Mike, your report ROCKS! I absolutely love the idea of splitting it into park pictures and then people pictures. It gives a chance for all of us stuck at home to check up on the people we've been lucky enough to get to know that are on the trip. Â P.S. I saw the Hooters Crew gang symbol being flashed! Way to represent Divv! Â Shawn "is pulling his second consecutive 13 hour day at work instead of being in Europe where he'd much much rather be" Goode
ratdogg68 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Loving the Road Show Big Mike, been very entertaining. No one should complain about updates and the same people, you have it all covered. Wish the "Big Mike Road Show" was making a appearance at Holiday World, would love to take part. Keep up the great "Show" Mike, looking forward to more episodes
zilliboy Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I hope to see soon the picture that was taken @ Bobbejaanland with me. Â Greetings Mark
Coaster Palooza Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 You're doing a fabulous job Big Mike. Keep the reports coming!
bobafett Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Take away the e, the a's and n's and that park could be named after me! Bobbejaaland=BobbiJoland. Big Mike you should have gotten me a shirt with park named after me . Just kidding great updates Big Mike, hope all of you are having a great time.
Big Mike Posted June 26, 2008 Author Posted June 26, 2008 DAY #6 WEDNESDAY TOVERLAND!   Hi Friends!!  Another very long day has just completed with Efteling and Drievliet, and a side stop to the Red Light District in Amsterdam!  But since I am behind, this report is about Toverland Yesterday  I again only have an hour so it will be a Toverland report and another page of photos of friends, loved ones, or family!   Peace, Big Mike I hope you enjoyed!!! Troy rules! Peace, Big Mike Thanks again to the staff at Toverland, always going above and beyond! Mark! Bos! We had some TPR Big Mike Reader's come out to say hello on the tour again! Benny and Hans! I guess I have to throw in one whacky picture since I am concentrating on everyone else. The ropes course was a big hit too. Here are some climbers: Others enjoying the log flume too! Wet. Jon and Big Mike do the log flume! Theming. The lift just disappears. TROY!!! As I said on Robb's Coaster Expedition DVD, Troy at Toverland kicks ass! STILL! Dave By request. Dave and Big Mike. Ready to ride. The bikes. Booster Bike! Boomerang! ERT! Theme Park Review welcomed with open arms again just like last year. Prices! Toverland!
Big Mike Posted June 26, 2008 Author Posted June 26, 2008 Hi Friends from Amsterdam.  This went over well the first time, only have time to update some more friends and family and loved ones pictures!!!  Since this is The Bigh Mike Road Show 2008 and this thread has been all about friends and family since day number 1, seems only right to do this kind of post.  Hope you see somebody you know and it puts a smile on your face   Peace, Big Mike   PS - Don't get used to this, more Big Mike pictures are on the way lol. I hope you enjoyed! Peace, Big Mike
Dark Vampire Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Thank you for the nice pictures! Did you like the Formule X at Drievliet?
sfne2005 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Is Larry on this trip or what? I haven't seen him in one picture yet. I demand to see a picture of Larry. Are you guys even talking to each other?
gisco Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Is Larry on this trip or what? I haven't seen him in one picture yet. I demand to see a picture of Larry. Are you guys even talking to each other? Â Look close, second row, no sleaves
