spaceace12 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hey Mike, if you get to SF STL on a weekend that day, I might come over and ride with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazed49 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Wow thats a lot of park Mike, you got a lot of free time. It seems like its going to be a stretch for you to get all them done. One tip on getting discounts is for most of the park in New England you can usually get coupons from AAA and also many Dunkin Donuts carry coupons for Canobie Lake Park. I'm looking forward to seeing what you add to the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Any pictures of girls in bikinis from waterparks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Funny you should say that Ed. I was debating whether to include that in my post or not. I will make an added effort to include some hot girls and some hot guys as an added bonus in all my reports!! As long as the TPR girls don't object, maybe we will get those hot bikini pics posted this year Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP Psyclone Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 We all look forward to these trip reports. If this thread was made in a month instead of now it could have actually opened this up with one, but hey, Big Mike deserves the anticipation!

alpengeist04 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Damn Big Mike, that's a heck of a lot of parks you have planned. Good luck, and I look forward to your trip reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 No Cedar Point this year? Or did I miss it on the list? Those are TONS of parks. Can't wait to see your TR's. --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 That's an impressive list I'm looking forward to reading your TR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carolinacaniac Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hello Fellow TPRers!......... Adventure Park USA Planet Fun Jolly Roger Baja Amusements Jolly Roger at the Pier Trimper's Rides ........ Motor World ......... Soulds like one big credit ho run to me! Id love to tag along though if it is at a time that I have off. Any idea when specifically your weekend trips will be? You could also put on Go-Karts Plus which is in Williamsburg (In between Kings Dominion and Motor World). Also, if I happen to tag along for your day at KD and you don't have a CF Premium Pass, I know a bunch of places here in Greenville that have either discount tickets or coupons for KD.

mcjaco Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Typical Big Mike. I love the mention of him "starring" in Volume 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Also, if I happen to tag along for your day at KD and you don't have a CF Premium Pass, I know a bunch of places here in Greenville that have either discount tickets or coupons for KD. I counted at least 7 CF parks in his list. He'd sure be stupid NOT to have a platinum pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hello Friends! I do indeed have a platinum pass already! Thats not to say I am still not stupid though lol. No need for Go Carts Plus, I hit that on my coaster Ho run last year Matt, I DID star in the video Wait till you see my new post in the main forum in the next couple of days concerning the video and Big Mike! It will be exactly what you would expect from Big Mike, more self promoting. I am not sure of the weekend scheduling yet as I have to make sure all the new rides for 2008 are open on each credit run weekend. Will post my next trip when it is confirmed. Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printersdevil78 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hey Mike, Speaking of girls in bikinis, let me know when you're planning to head to Trimpers and the Jolly Roger parks. I live a half hour outside Ocean City (well... probably closer to an hour in summer traffic). I'll try to think of something my presence would bring to the table between now and then!

Big Mike Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Sounds Good! Glad to have company at any parks on the list! Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatleBen Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Quite ambitious there, O Mighty Mike! Aside from the Eurotrip, I could join you at some of the CA parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoasterkid Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Just a tip for ya Mike. At Wonderland you can ride a coaster AND take pics of chicks in bikinis at the same time! Might be a little hard considering you're not allowed cameras on the rides there, and you'd be flying through the waterpark at a good clip, but it COULD be done! A Big Mike and Matt Damon meet up at Wonderland this summer!? Make it during TPR's visit up here in August and I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NINCUB Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Wow! Sounds like you have a very busy schedule! Too bad Lake Winnie will not be open for your visit. I live like 5 mins away! OH and your just going to Sir Goony's b/c it is right next door to Hooters or is it for the credit?! Hmmmmm? LOL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Thanks for the tip on Hooters! Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hello Everybody! I have just nailed down the dates for The Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach. I will be visiting on Saturday, September 6th. I also had to exclude one park from my schedule as I just got it confirmed that American Adventures WILL NOT OPEN in the month of March this year. My Atlanta/Dollywood trip is just 3 weeks away! Anyone know of any discounts for Dollywood out there?? Thanks for your help. Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 ^Good luck with that, Big Mike. Dollywood discounts are hard to come by. Their season pass rates are pretty reasonable though. Supposedly, some AAA chapters sell Dollywood tickets. That might be worth looking into. Craigslist is another possibility, but I just checked both Knoxville, TN and Asheville, NC (two nearby cities) on CL and found nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
