THE BIG MIKE ROAD SHOW - 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY PICS ON PG 769


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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!

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! ; )

 

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!

 

But in all seriousness, yet another great trip report, good to see the Big Mike Roadshow is doing so well!

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.

 

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?

 

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.

Hello fellow friends!!

The Big Mike Road Show is really racking up the miles so far and Great Adventure is stop #10.

 

This makes 10% of our goal of 100 trip reports for 2008.

 

 

I hope you enjoy.

 

 

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.

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".

Here is the difference. The gold cuts out 75% of your wait.

111.JPG.e2bbcf14f47adaa877d4e7bddf576290.JPG

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 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.

The elephant skull was the highlight for me. I say to skip this place and go straight to the coasters.

007.JPG.e5f0dc6d649bb1ad91e9e9e54c5327f1.JPG

I stop at Exploration Station to bring TPR a look at this little safari add on.

005.JPG.570160e1afbcf8ea34c2a042877003c4.JPG

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!

Hah!

 

So, Blondie is now playing the theme-park circuit. Oh, well--I remember when Bob Dylan played KD a few years back.

I thought this was pretty good advertising, plus since it is an indoor coaster, I needed some fillers for this part.

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.

109.JPG.e788f089cd12d1bb44775a85a43a82d1.JPG

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.

This is good info for the TPR East Coast trip! We will definitely have to get one since we will be spending 4 days at Six Flags parks.

 

You did a great job of showcasing all of the coasters at the park. Thanks for the pics!

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.
