geekgrrl Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Oh, the questionable #7. I struggled with that one too, and ultimately decided that it wasn't a duckie. Mike, you've created a hanging chad of sorts. A pond floater, if you will (I still can't deal with that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I missed number eight! agghhh! Â Great job for everyone getting to the third round. Great game Big Mike. Glad you did it. Â --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taytig Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm glad I was late with my entry - yeah for 10 ducks (even though I thought 9 originally!!) Â David Taytig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Well keep in mind we don't know the TRUE answer just yet, so it might still be 9! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I noticed picture #7 too. But after looking at it for a minute or two, it just looked too fake (bright) to be a duckie. Also, if it was a duckie then what's holding/keeping him in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnio55 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 #7 is totally not a duck... It was one of those dumb lamps that park has that look like ducks, he should be happy with his first guess of nine. Its too glowing to be a rubber duck, I could be wrong but I'm sure its not one.

Â For now, please enjoy Magic Springs and Crystal Falls in Arkansas!!! Â As always, thanks for your continued support of The Big Mike Road Show 2008! Â Â Peace, Big Mike This turtle popped out of his shell just to say hello to The Big Mike Road Show! Hope you enjoyed and congrats to the ducky winners! Peace, Big Mike The other half of the park is Crystal Falls, a water park. Here is where I had the tremendous luck to witness something pop out!!! Summary of ride: Station, Lift, Squiggley, Drop, Station. The lift. The train. Overview. Even though the X-Coaster was closed, The valuable Big Mike Readers deserved the chance to check it out! Credit #693 for Big Mike! Reverse angle from the top of the turn around! The turn around. The drop. The rest of the track from the top of the first hill. VIP ERT time for Big Mike! Click Click Click. Please come along for a ride with Big Mike! The lift. The train. Overview. Arkansas Twister! Credit #692 for Big Mike! This must be the twisting part of Twist N Shout. On ride randomness. The lift. The cars. A flowery overview picture for the ladies. Twist N Shout! Big Bad John is also hiding a tunnel out there. Big Mike had to climb a tree just to get this photo for his valuable Big Mike Readers. Most of the track is set in the woods. The lift. The train. Big Bad John! Credit #691 for Big Mike! Big Mike obides by all rules and does not climb the fence like other fools have been doing lately. The lift. The train. Reverse angle overview too! Overview. The Guantlet! Credit #690 for Big Mike! Credit #689 for Big Mike! Luckily it doesn't and you go down this drop instead. The theming looks soooo real! It looks like the coaster is going to fall right into that earthquake chasm!! OH MY!!! Big Mike is paralyzed with fear! What could make this happen you might ask? The lift. Here is the train as it does a fly by near the enterance. How about this theming of an earthquake chasm!! The ride through the gully was impressive. This coaster was very nicely themed. Diamond Mine Run! Big Mike claims his 3rd first place finish at the rope drop races in 2008! Well, except maybe the free sunscreen. I need to keep that golden tan the hot babes have been digging lately! As I always say, if its free, its for me! Always a nice thing to see, free drinks The map. This same undercover Big Mike operative also states that this map will have a NEW COASTER on it next year! You heard it here first on The Big Mike Road Show 2008! Ah, I knew there must have been a catch to the free admission! No X-Coaster today. In fact, not since July 4th weekend I was told by a Big Mike undercover operative. Now it was time to battle the crowd at opening! Well thank you very much Magic Springs Big Mike had contacted Magic Springs and told them that The Big Mike Road Show 2008 was coming to town and they told me to stop by guest relations before I go in. The prices. Magic Springs and Crystal Falls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 My heart just sank! I had fun playing the Rubber Ducky game while it lasted. Thanks for doing such awesome things for your readers Big Mike! Congrats to all the people that are moving on to the 3rd round. Â That sucks about the X-Coaster. I know there's nothing you can do about it, but it's still pretty disappointing when you travel to ride coasters and they are broke down. I guess it just makes collecting the credits more, shall i say, challenging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jojo19799 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Thus, The Mikestery Treasure Hunt is born! Every once in a while, Big Mike will hide a mystery envelope somewhere at an amusement park and it is your job to find it! This prize is hidden on the letter "C" in Mall of America. Â Can you believe that when I went to MoA over Labor Day weekend it was still there? It was soaked, but I have it! I thought about leaving it somewhere else, but I couldnt think of any good place to hide it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 CONGRATS JO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   The Big Mike Road Show 2008 CAN CONFIRM that this is indeed the exact dollar bill with the word BUNNY written on it that was secretly hidden in The Mikestery Treasure Hunt Game!!!   Since this game is only in its early stages, this may seem like only a dollar, but it will be worth something better down the road!   Congrats for playing along and being declared the FIRST Mikestery Treasure Hunt WINNER ever!!!   Now that this one was found, it is time to hide another one   Peace, Big Mike Way to go Jo!!!

traincrossin Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 So if #7 wasn't a duck, what was it? I'm still relieved that i'm moving on! Magic Springs seems like a nice park. Oh, and that turtle was cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo19799 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Thanks Mike! Maybe next year this game can be expanded. For example, lets say you go to Cedar Point. You hide an object (like a dollar or even a duck) and post a picture of the area that you hid it in (whithout giving away where exactly it is). The person that finds that object has to hide it in another park posting a picture of the general area where it is hidden. It's almost like hide and go seek. We'd probably have to start a whole entire thread dedicated to the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mike Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Very good idea Jo, I would enjoy that! Â Â Maybe a TPR luggage tag, since it is flat and east to hide somewhere. Â Â Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and that turtle was cute.  I am not sure what it was. I usually take a few pictures of each sign so I can pick the best one just in case I look dorky, but this was the only one I took of that sign.  I never even realize that there are some tricky ones until someone else points them out or people start guessing extra duckies   Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo19799 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I can see it now. Hundreds of TPR members traveling the globe in search of one object. Forget the credits, just get the tag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geekgrrl Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Sweet merciful crap, I can't believe I made it to round 3. I was really, really starting to doubt my answer. Minutes of my life were spent looking at that light/duck. Minutes.   I am not sure what it was. I usually take a few pictures of each sign so I can pick the best one just in case I look dorky  I love that. I do the same thing in pictures, because the chances of me looking dorky far exceed the chances of me not looking dorky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
