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.

Mike --

 

GREAT update!!! It is fun seeing everyone again in your pics! I SO wish I was there (stupid work).

 

I guess our dark ride rematch will have to wait!

 

Have a great time. Tell Ron, Miles, Steve C., Lou, Robb, Elissa, TPDave, etc. I said hello (err... Bon Jour).

Mike, my buddy!

 

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)!

 

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!

 

Say hello to Craig and his two cool kids, and to Hanno, Will, Nathan, Robb, Elissa and everybody else I met!

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

Hey Friends!

Hope you see some friends, loved ones, or someone you know!

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.

 

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.

 

P.S. I saw the Hooters Crew gang symbol being flashed! Way to represent Divv!

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

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.

I again only have an hour so it will be a Toverland report and another page of photos of friends, loved ones, or family!

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.
