kraken613 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Goliath is one of my favorite B&M hypers. It has some nice air. Are they trimming it bad this year? I heard that from someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkwan Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Goliath was one of my favorite rides there too but superman was just ok the first loop was awesome but after that it gets boring and I've never seen the park that empty it's kind of weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy T. Koepp Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Guy would like to thank Big Mike for a very amusing TR. Guy was sorry he couldn't work it out to get down to see Big Mike on this wonderful day. However, Guy would have loved to know that Big Mike was credit whoring up E. Tteenneessee the day before 6FoG. Guy was free that day and only an hour and a half away. Guy would like to inquire if Rich passed out on Mindbender as he is prone to do on old Schwartzkoffs? Guy finds that fact very funny. Guy also found Goliath to be the best coaster in the park, however Guy thought it was way over trimmed after the helix of death. Guy would go so far as to say that the trims slowed the train a good 10mph. Guy believes he was raped of a sh!tload of airtime due to this fact. Guy believes 6FoG owes him a kiss and at least a reach around for the @ss raping. Guy also thought the Georgia Cyclone was an awesome ride. Guy wonders why Magic Mountains version was never that good. (Before and after the Northridge quake.) Guy would be very sad to see 6FoG tear this clone down. Guy would have loved to help Magic Mountain tear their clone down.  Guy had a great time there with his family the weekend before except for one really horrible experience. Guy believes that the concessions at the park suck! Guy believes an hour and 20 minute time to get a pizza for his family is way too f^ck!ng long to wait for an 8 person line. Guy didn't think it was that busy that day. Guy believes this was easily the longest line Guy had to wait in at the whole park. Fortunately, Guy's family was able to watch the Comedy Western Stunt show (twice) while he stood in the hot sun and waited for the pizza. Guy thinks 6FoG might owe him for the extra bottle of sunscreen he used as well as the cancer screening that he will probably need due to the lack of shade in that whole area. Guy thinks 6FoG needs to get their food service operations sh!t together before the summer rush hits. Guy is still very sore about his food experience at the park  Again, Guy thanks Big Mike for his awesome TR and looks forward to riding with him.  Peace!

sfne2005 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hey Guy, Rich didn't pass out on Mindbender. Rich doesn't know why. Maybe just not as intense as stupid lazer. Rich also liked Cyclone and thought it had more ejector air thatn Goliath. Rich didn't love Goliath like he thought he would. And it took Rich almost 1 hour to get chinese food as well. Rich thinks Rich's experience was similar to Guy's, without the bum raping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobafett Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Ninja used to be located in WildWood,NJ on the old Hunt's Pier that was renamed Konko's Party Pier then it was renamed Dinosaur Beach from 1989 to 1991. Back on that pier it was called Kamikaze. It was an impressive sight to see on our little boardwalk. Due to mismanagement, the pier finally went under and it was removed and sent to SFOG and renamed Ninja. I will show you where it was located on the boardwalk in Wildwood when oyu cmoe to town Big Mike and also you give you a little history about the boardwalk and the piers that are on it. Great report! Looking forward to the next update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil jimmy norton Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 This is probably the best, most entertaining tr I have ever read. If I new you were going to be at GADV yesterday for opening day, I definitly would have made the effort just to get an autograph of the famous Big Mike. Can't wait for the rest.

MattyD Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Can't help noticing you're going to FRANCE on your tour but not to see your Fans in England - I had the Media all ready to go and everything! ; ) Â Well if you do decide to channel hop when you're in France let me know and I can take a day off work to accompany you on a tour of the parks of South East England - although I am sure you must have those credits already! Â But in all seriousness, yet another great trip report, good to see the Big Mike Roadshow is doing so well! Â Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Wow. Thanks again for the kind words, Mike.....er, Big Mike (as the tag says). How did you know we were a "power couple?" You didn't even get to see our super awesome power morphing skills at work. Â Where and when was that snake pic taken? I'm assuming it was early on before we got there, since I have absolutely no recollection of it? Â And one more thing, I'm glad you posted that pic of you on the carousel. I forgot to put it in my TR, and the world needed to see that....Big Mike and a mirror - a marriage made in heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mike Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hello fellow friends!! Â Â The Big Mike Road Show 2008 has returned from a jaunt down south to Tennesee and Georgia and has come to visit opening day at Six Flags Great Adventure! Â The Big Mike Road Show is really racking up the miles so far and Great Adventure is stop #10. Â This makes 10% of our goal of 100 trip reports for 2008. Â Â I hope you enjoy. Â Â Peace, Big Mike Oh Yeah! I think he likes it. Big Mike needs to find himself one of these for the long Big Mike Road Show 2008. (to be continued) This is a male tiger and it must be nice to have a female trainer take care of your built up sexual frustrations. Is there any wonder why you hear of animal maulings every once in a while? Took a picture of the bull because if you can tell there is a puddle of water under his johnson like he took a leak. Now THATS good theming! Big Mike's favorite coaster of the park - El Toro!!! Wonder Woman was all over Big Mike. Notice the stratigically high camera angle! Big Mike knows what he is doing Rolling Thunder That still did not stop Big Mike from bringing you his annual park hat picture of the day. Big Mike was sad that Scott, Shannon, Rick, Gyendolynne, and Rich were not there this week. Kingda Ka The lockers are by every ride now. You need to insert a bill to get a coin, insert the coin to get a reciept, a locker just pops open for you, scan the reciept to open it back up. $1 a pop with a "2 hour time limit". The Great American Scream Machine. Here is the difference. The gold cuts out 75% of your wait. Wow! What I bought at Dollywood last week for $15 is priced $110 here. In between coasters, I will have valuable info or Big Mike highlights I have all the credits, so I will just show everyone the coasters here. Superman - Ultimate Flight. I am glad Great Adventure built a building for such VIP's such as myself. This new ride board is cool. I can't wait to see the closed sign go away from The Dark Knight! Just in case you are in town and want to see a concert. Here are your 2008 ticket prices. Poor bunny seems to have gotton a cold sore on his lips. The elephant skull was the highlight for me. I say to skip this place and go straight to the coasters. I stop at Exploration Station to bring TPR a look at this little safari add on. First stop, The drive thru safari. Big Mike gets REJECTED because the hot rod is a convertible. Stop #10 on The Big Mike Road Show 2008, opening day at Six Flags Great Adventure. As I have said before, when you see The Big Mike Road Show traveling along, you still need to pay attention to the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Took a picture of the bull because if you can tell there is a puddle of water under his johnson like he took a leak. Now THATS good theming! Â Hah! Â So, Blondie is now playing the theme-park circuit. Oh, well--I remember when Bob Dylan played KD a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 PART 2 Thats better Bye friends. Peace, Big Mike A good way to end the night. Workers line up for a long line of high fives on your way out. Oops, hold on, I did not get my shirt checked off... But by the looks of it, not THAT soon. Well here is the actual credit that I still need here. I willl get you soon Dark Knight!! Batman the Ride No luck at the log flume either. Big Mike's 2nd favorite coaster of the park, Nitro. Off to find some water rides since we missed them all last week. No luck on the rapids ride. Road Runner Railway This sign actually said Big Mike! I am sorry I cut off the "ike" part of it by accident. I thought this was pretty good advertising, plus since it is an indoor coaster, I needed some fillers for this part. Skull Mountain Checked out the new Wiggles World, nice place for the kids. The front car is over the lift hill before the last car evens starts to climb it. Blackbeards Lost Treasure Train It is nice to see that my working out over the winter is finally showing results! My favorite picture of the trip, other than Wonder Woman's boobs. The Runaway Mine Train Hi Rich! No wait at this Panda Express. When you buy a 2008 cup, you get all you can drink that day for free, plus 99 cent refills the rest of the year. I was told my cup is good at ALL Six Flags. Meal $12.99 2008 Refillable cup $12.99 But for some reason I was only charged $1.99 for the cup. VIP has its advantages. Time to eat at one of the Johnny Rockets. Medusa The fun continues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You did a great job of showcasing all of the coasters at the park. Thanks for the pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Thanks for the compliment! Â That is my mission on here, to bring valuable info to the masses, and some good pictures too! Â Â Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 As always, I'm dieing to see more. Awesome update. Â It didn't seem to crowded there that day. Glad you had a good day at the park and not an extremely crowded time like it could have been. Â --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Some excellent pictures of the park and it's rides.  What a great drink deal with 99c refills for the rest of the year at all 6 Flags Parks. A Bargin.  At Alton Towers and other English Parks, everyone pays full price for fast food, e.g. MD's Big Mac Meal = £3.49 - £5.00 with no drink re-fills.

Coaster Palooza Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Coaster Palooza likes how Big Mike's Roadshow is moving along. Coaster Palooza, and the misses, missed out on Kingda Ka and El Toro. They weren't built when we were there a few years ago. Â We wish we could have been there. It looked like a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
