BeemerBoy Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Mike, you actually got some really nice pics of my favorite SF park. Nitro AND El Toro....in one place? Forgetaboutit. Also, the Flash checking off the shirt is priceless...although that should have been Wonder Woman's job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Thats true Scott, but I found Wonder Woman a little later after I found Flash. Â I think Wonder Woman had the hots for me! Â Â Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm enjoying following the Big Mike Road Trip. Thanks for the pictures and I'll definitely be back to view all the updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Awesome GADV pics! I'll be there in June, and it's nice to see what I can expect when I go there. I still can't stop laughing at that Wonderwoman pic and the "strategic position." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterEricHP Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Awesome TR so far! I am very jealous you are doing this crazy trip!! Keep up the good work! Â SFGadv has always struck me as having one of.. if the THE BEST line up of coasters.. I gotta get back there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that I mean, take his order. Anyway, great TR as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Awesome TR, Big Mike! I'm loving every picture! I really hope to get up to SFGAdv. some time soon. Â Haha, the last picture is great! Â -JZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airtime&Gravity Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Nice photos Mike, and they do a good job of showing off what a great park SFGADV is. It looks like you had a great time, and at least I'm not the only one who thinks Nitro is an awesome ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eBen Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Your doing exactly what I hope my health holds up to let me do what i want to when I retire. You even have footage to prove the wonder woman thing wasn't a delusion!  I'm also glad you didn't try passing the one with the bigger arm than big mike in your weight loss thread  ps. Your really putting my mini jaunt to Adventure Island (uk) to shame - GWARN!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrideseeker Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Great TR! You took some really amazing photos! Especially of Great American Scream Machine, most people just pass the ride by. They may take like 2-3 pictures, but you took many more! Great job! Plus the El Toro pictures! AMAZING!! You are really good at photographing roller coasters! ~Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Themeparkceo Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 WOW! That Six Flags has a lot more coasters than I thought. Excellent photo angles. Six Flags should build a park here in Orlando! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagro5 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Six Flags should build a park here in Orlando! Â Too bad that it would get killed by Disney and Universal. Â Great shots! I love the shot of El Toro going down the drop with the lift also in the photo (it' my computers wallpaper now). Keep em' coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadley Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 WOW! That Six Flags has a lot more coasters than I thought. Â I agree, their park map I saw a few weeks ago at their site doesn't do this park justice. It honestly looked pretty boring in the map, but Mike, your pics brought it to life! Â You are one of my new heroes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robaroo723 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Agreed! Great TR! It actually motivated me to get myself over there today.  Great TR! You took some really amazing photos! Especially of Great American Scream Machine, most people just pass the ride by. They may take like 2-3 pictures, but you took many more! Great job! Plus the El Toro pictures! AMAZING!! You are really good at photographing roller coasters! ~Matthew  Speaking of GASM, I don't know if it was just today or what, but the trims after the first loop were off, and we FLEW through the first half of the ride. I didn't think I'd notice that big of a difference with the trim off, but you can really tell when you hit loop 2, loop 3, and the uphill turn into the MCBR. Has anyone else that's been on GASM so far this season (last weekend and this one) noticed this?  Overall, good day, the longest we waiting for anything was 10 minutes. Between the weather and the fact that I don't think a lot of people know the park is open already, the crowd level was pretty low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mike Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hey Friends!!  Another weekend, another coaster trip to report on  The Big Mike Road Show decided to take a ride out to Long Island NY this weekend and finish up the credits out that way.  Hope you enjoy!   Peace, Big Mike I will leave you with this picture. Fill in your own caption. It's time for The Big Mike Road Show 2008 to move on. Peace, Big Mike The rest of the park. Actually two! FINALLY! A water ride that is open in 2008! The other coaster is the Ladybug! Both coasters are back to back with each other, looking like they are going to hit each other. A view of the track. The first coaster at the park is the Hurricane! A list of the rides and how many tickets each cost too. If you are going to ride all the way out here, you need to know the prices! Adding another stop to the Big Mike Road Show, stop #12 to be exact, it's Adventureland! One mile away is Country Fair. RCDB had a coaster listed here, so I had to find out if it was operational. It was.... 10 years ago. As usual, Big Mike strikes out at ANOTHER water ride and any chance of hot bikini pictures. I think this is the first Red Bull vending machine I have ever seen. an outdoor carousel!!! I don't see this too often. Here is an indoor carousel, and about 50 feet away is.... More rides at the park. Here is the price list for the coaster and the rides I am about to show you. After an exchange of more insults, we leave with a mutual respect for each other. He sticks his tongue back out at me. "Your still a loser for driving all the way out here to ride me." Yeah! Credit number 572! I stick my tongue back out to the coaster. "I got you!" If this coaster gets stuck on the lift hill and we have to do an emergency evac, I am falling right through these steps for sure. I got in line with some other hardcore coaster whores. Looks exciting. Time to go ride. The usual lift hill shot from Big Mike. Here is the coaster. This coaster is not laughing at me like most, but sticking its tongue out at me. Since this is an out of the way park, I figure most of you have not seen the layout. Here is the reason I drove all the way out here, The Family Coaster. First stop, Boomers! First, I had to go over the George Washington Bridge where you are not supposed to take pictures. I am a rebel. Woke up and checked out the weather report for SFNE and decided to put the top down and head out to Long Island instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
