Big Mike Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 Just a quick update from poolside everybody!! Planet Fun, even though I was warned that the coaster may be closed, was a success!!! Count one more credit for the Big Man. Tomorrow is Kings Dominion, see everyone there!!! I am still on the hunt for hot bikini pictures as I write this, so far not much luck. I still have a few hours of sunlight left though!!!! Peace, Big Mike PS = Planet Fun photos later tonight after I compete in the Texas Hold Em tourney here at the resort!!
BeemerBoy Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 PS = Planet Fun photos later tonight after I compete in the Texas Hold Em tourney here at the resort!! Now you're really speaking my language, Mike. A few quick tips, especially if it's one of those free tournaments. 1) Position 2) Position 3) Position 4) If first three fail, distract 'em with your shirt. Good luck. Save the kiddie credit pics. I'm requesting poker for this installment.
larrygator Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Scott - I knew there was a reason you always wore sunglasses and a visor. Poker!
Big Mike Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 Hi Friends!!! The Big Mike Road Show 2008 is coming to you from Virginia this weekend! The Big Mike Road Show 2008 has been on the road now for six straight weeks, and it was time to add a little relaxation time into the tour along with a few new parks. The Road Show stopped at Planet Fun in Maryland last night on the way to our vacation spot in Virginia. As requested by Beemer Boy, the poker tourney will come first, then the Planet Fun photos! Big Mike always likes to please his readers. On a VERY serious note though, I am REALLY starting to think that this Big Mike Road Show 2008 may be getting out of hand. In the past few weeks, people are getting WAYYYYY to carried away while The Big Mike Road Show Caravan comes driving down the highway. I know it is an impressive sight to see it coming. I know it looks better than a Presidential cavalcade. I know everyone just wants to catch a glimpse of The Mighty Big Man.... BUT!!!!!!!!! You have to do it SAFELY!!!!! If mayhem occurs one more time like it did this week and the past few weeks, I will be forced to ride incogneto from now on. Thanks for understanding! Peace, Big Mike PS - Kings Dominion Today!!! Saturday the 19th!![/img] Another successful credit run for The Big Mike Road Show 2008! I hope you enjoyed it. See you at Kings Dominion today! Check out the witch! Yep, its haunted. Its all about the scenery. As it climbs the lift, you almost hit the roof. I was happy to get on as I heard it was broken often. Coaster #573 for Big Mike! I just bought a card for one ride, which was $3. Here is your price list for Planet Fun. Here it is - The Haunted Coaster and it is running! On to the Planet Fun photos!! Big Mike wins the tourney! This was the winning hand as my last opponent went all in with his low chip count. Big Mike was holding 2 aces! GAME OVER! Time to go rest and relax and clear my head to get in the right mood for playing poker. Can't use up all my luck before the poker tourney! That's right, pay the Big Man!! BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big Mike always cleans up playing bingo! Time to go play some bingo. I found it hard to believe she turns the other horses on, until I saw it for myself. I still passed. She threw a tude at me when I declined. She said I must be gay since she turns all the other horses on but not me. Unbelievably, she starts talking!! It will cost you 5 haybails and 20 carrots to mount and ride me big boy. As if she read my mind, she did a spin twirl so I could check her out. If I did not know better, I would say that she was a blond horse hooker! This one horse eyed me up and walked over to me as if she wanted me. The resort is a horse farm, so I went to look at the horses. Good thing the hot rod is an amphibian vehicle! Our cabins were right on a lake but the resort was not letting you take any boats out this week. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! Here is lots to do. Tennis, basketball, softball, horseshoes. Big Mike spots his favorite! I was 10 under with one hole to go. I wound up 19 over! 29 shots on hole 18!!!! That hole was impossible! I just had to take a picture of the ball finally in the hole. Time for a round of mini golf. Hi Cameron. Always Big Mike's favorite, the activities center and game room. Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I needed the hot tub to ease the pains of non stop coaster riding. If I do not find hot bikini pictures today at Kings Dominion, I will take DRASTIC measures next weekend! I needed to go find hot bikini pictures for you guys, but I was presented with a closed empty pool. Yep! I knew it. Ohhhh, a whirlpool tub!! This only means trouble! With a bed this big, maybe I should have brought that female roadie along! Extra beds for other TPR buddies if they had wanted to. Another angle. The inside of my cabin. This is my cabin for the weekend! The Dave Experience! Are these Carniverous Bees????? Upon check in, I see this sign! They say not to worry. They are not dangerous? I need some help from an expert on this!!! Big Mike arrives at his vacation destination this week - Shenandoah Crossings. Weird! I was on the phone with a girl roadie who wanted me to stop by for a quickie. As I talked, I saw this sign. The high speed and the sudden braking to hop out of the car in time to take a picture was too much for this car to handle. REMEMBER - LAST WARNING! This car had raced ahead of me a while back to get far enough ahead of me to get a picture. I KNEW it as soon as I saw the smoke! The Big Mike Road Show has caused ANOTHER accident on the roads.
Meteornotes Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 The Dave Experience! Are these Carniverous Bees????? No, those are carpenter bees. And they're harmless. Giant carnivorous bees are much larger, and are usually accompanied by rabid bears with rocket launchers. Just so you know. dt
sfotfreak Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 That ride sure looks haunted! Disney better watch out that theming was immense!
cfc Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 ^^I presume that the car in flames makes this a Dave-approved TR? The burning car also reminds me of an incident at BGE several years ago. I was waiting in a rather slow line of cars at the park's old entrance, wondering what the hold up was. Well, they had closed off my lane, and as I slowly crusied down the lefthand lane, I discovered the reason. There was this burnt shell of a car, still smoking, in the right lane! Even the tires had melted. Fire engines had come in through a side entrance, and fortunately, the family in the car got out safely. My guess is that the car's battery must've exploded. See ya at KD, Big Mike.
coaster05 Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Mel and I have seen the flaming car on the side of the road thing twice now in our travels. Always an interesting site.
Kingbooba Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Hope you enjoy KD, Mike! I'm hoping to go there tomorrow or to Busch Gardens Europe.
TheRapidsNerd Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 I don't even know where to start... Car B Q's, hookers, hot tubs, mini golf, pinball...the entertainment knows no bounds. This just get's better and better.
bobafett Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 What part of Jersey were you in when that accident occurred? It looks familiar to me.
BeemerBoy Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 This update was hilarious, Mike. So how many people were in that tourney....two?
Big Mike Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 I am not really sure what part that was in, but it was pretty soon in the trip. I am thing up towards Newark airport. There were only 6 people in the tourney, and one of them was a worker filling the table. I was told he plays when they need people and he wins more than half the time. Not this time though Peace, Big Mike
Big Mike Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 Kings Dominion will be up later tonight after I return from work. Glad you are looking forward to it. Peace, Big Mike
Coaster Palooza Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 You are one of a kind Mike! This last report was hilarious.
SFAfan#1 Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Are you going to visit Six Flags America since your only about 2hrs away
Big Mike Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 I may stop by there sooner or later. I pass it on these trips all the time, but there are no new coasters for me to ride there, thats where the chances dwindle that I will stop there. Maybe though! Peace, Big Mike
Big Mike Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 Hi again Friends!! The Big Mike Road Show 2008 traveled to Kings Dominion this past Saturday and met up with fellow TPR member CFC (Chuck). I already knew Chuck from the UK trip and knew he was one Cool F-in Cat. CFC, get it? I had 2 new credits to gain here at King's Dominion, had a chance to check out the progress on Dominator, and be the first person to review the new Picnic in the Park buffet now being offered at the picnic grove for $14.95, which you have to book ahead of time BEFORE you get to the park. Big Mike and buffets are a natural combination, who better to check it out? Per Big Mike style, I will try to show you every coaster in the park in case some of you have never visited here before and were wondering what they looked like! Whenever I have never been to a park before and am interested in what kind of coasters the park has to offer, I went to rcdb.com and had to click each coaster and then click next to see each picture, but here, I show them all and pictures one right after the other. I think it is easier Once again, my goal is to add something important to my buddies Robb and Elissa's website. Do my part in making it a success. I hope I am succeeding and I hope you enjoythis stop on The Big Mike Road Show 2008! Peace, Big Mike By now, word had spread through the park that Big Mike was in attendance. We needed some security to guide and protect us. PART 2 NEXT! More flames. The flames worked, the helicopter shot but did not fly. No water effects. The Backlot Stunt Coaster! Big Mike's 575th different roller coaster ridden!! Chuck said Big Mike is our hero for dedicating his time at the parks to bringing everyone nice pictures and info! Shockwave! I heard of head choppers before, but this takes it to the extreme! Ricochet! Luckily, Chuck decided not to turn me in and continue our day of fun and excitement! Hurler! Chuck gets some crazy idea to report a suspicious person wearing stupid hats and posing with Dora the Explorer. Rebel Yell! Coaster #574 for Big Mike!!! Big Mike observation - The guy in the middle tube looks like he is playing pocket pool watching the girl play with herself. An indoor coaster, so not many pictures. Here is the spaceship inside. Flight of Fear! It also has become tradition that Big Mike wears a stupid or ugly hat! Anaconda! It seems to have become a tradition that Big Mike gets a picture with a costumed character. Big Mike's favorite coaster of the park. Volcano, Blast Coaster!! Here are your 2008 prices. There is my good buddy Chuck, always a fun person to hang out with and full of interesting tidbits about the park. King's Dominion in Doswell Virginia!
Big Mike Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 I have to admit the security detail did thier job well and we were able to finish off the park! Peace, Big Mike Even though I was offered the Mystery Machine, I stuck with the Hot Rod and was off to the next stop on The Big Mike Road Show 2008, Adventure Park USA in Maryland!!! Goodbye Friends! The BEST tradition of all, having a friend check off another stop on The Big Mike Road Show 2008! Thanks Chuck, your GREAT! Final Big Mike calculations. 2 chili/cheese dogs, 1 cheeseburger, 2 potato salads, 6 fruit punches, and 1 push-up! Paid $14.75, ate $30.00, SUCCESS!!!! Chuck and Big Mike enjoying the buffet picnic! First serving for Big Mike. Unlimited desserts! Unlimited fixings, including cheese and chili! Unlimited hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken! Unlimited beans and potato salad! Unlimited drinks! We close the report with the buffet review. $14.95 all you can eat picnic! New idea for 2008. The trains are ready to go. Part of the track is orange, and part is yellow still. Still some more work to be done! Dominator - opening soon! Chuck was feeling a little disoriented after all these coasters. Now THAT is a drop tower! The tower is a 1/3 of the height of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, which I will be on in 2 months when The Big Mike Road Show goes to Mainland Europe! We went up in the tower! Grizzly! (No sign) Avalanche! Taxi Jam! The staff was soooo impressed by my score, they awarded me the actual Mystery Machine! Since there is no level for Big Mike's score of 2460, I officially have created my very own catagory, A TRIPLE WOW!!!!!! Chuck reached the top level, a "wow" with his 800 and something points. This was Big Mike's first match of 2008 in defending his Championship! Could he be dethroned?? Just for everyones information, Big Mike was the dark ride shooting Champion on the 2006 UK trip and 2007 Spain Trip! Chuck said that HE was Scooby Doo and I was only Scrappy Doo in this game. Even the Scooby Doo Dark ride shooting game!! The Scooby coaster got Big Mike in the mood for more Scooby action! Scooby Doo's Ghoster Coaster!
signal Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 As usual, they're lookin good. I wish I could go to over 100 theme parks in a year. I've gone to 1 a year for the past like, 6 years
Kingbooba Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Awesome! I didn't know Dominator's trains were ready!
