Glad to hear you're enjoying Cali! Wish I lived a little closer or I would have been down there with you guys!

The Kids N' Action place looks really cute, and that was super nice of the owner to let you ride the kiddie coaster! I've never been there before but I swear it looks like a place I've dreamt about. How weird!

Hello Valuable Big Mike Readers!!!!!!!!


The Big Man is back from his Southern California Leg of The Big Mike Road Show 2012 World Tour, and for this week only, will bring you new episodes from this past week!


We start off today with a trip down to Tijuana Mexico, for three roller coaster credits at Mundo Divertido!


This was the 3rd time Big Mike has been down by San Diego and has been talked out of going to Mexico every other time on account of the drug cartel violence, kidnappings, and beheadings of Americans!!!


Big Mike decided that this time, he was not going to be pushed around and bullied by these Mexican drug cartels anymore, and just in case that he encountered any thugs, that he was going to bring his own muscle with him, Megan!!!


Is Mexico really that bad, or is it just the American media scare tactics hype running wild? Either way, Big Mike was going to find out once and for all!!!


Also, there are only 2 trip reports on all of Theme Park Review from Mundo Divertido, and none in over four years, so Big Mike feels that it is his duty to bring The Valuable Big Mike Readers a fresher view of the park!!!



Before we get to this big episode, tonight we crowned the Grand Prize Winner of The Big Mike Road Show Reader of the Year Contest!

Congrats go out to Brian (STR8FXXXINEDGE) for winning the free one week condo stay!!!

I don't know if it was karma or not, but Brian was the best Find the Ducky guesser overall, so everyone give congrats to Brian!!!


Now that the 2011 contest is over, it is time to start up the 2012 contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Starting this upcoming Monday...


FIND THE DOUBLE DUCKY!!!!!


Find the ducky is back for another season, and now everyone's favorite game on TPR has a twist and a brand new, never seen before prize, and the prize will continue to reward you year after year after year!!!

Oh yeah, that is only the mini prize too!!!


Watch for details and the start of the contest next Monday, May 9th!!!


OK, on to the adventures of Mike and Megan and the quest to get the Tijuana coaster credits!


Hope you enjoy!


Peace, Big Mike


PS - "Double the Duckies, Double the Fun" is a fantastic motto, do you mind if I borrow that? lol :)

Now the question, does he take us to the amusement park or the drug cartel headquarters?

Notice that Big Mike is not in his usual high profile attire! Big Mike dressed down so that the Mexicans would not realize that they had massive star power and a huge ransom payday sitting in the back of the cab!

Have no fear about this long 2 hour line to get back into the USA, Big Mike found a "Fast Pass Line" even in Mexico!!!

The walk in line was huge, the car drive over line was huge, but a little secret that The Mighty Big Man knew was the key to making it across the border in 21 minutes!!!

As a special bonus for being a Valuable Big Mike Reader, Big Mike will let you in on his special secret:

There is a bus lane that goes into the USA, and the last bus tour company that traveled into Tijuana went out of business, so the bus lane is virtually empty. Right at the border, there is a mini bus company that for $5 a person, will drive you up into the bus lane and let you off right at the front of the line!!! We were 6th in line to cross the border, and 4 of the 6 beat us out of our own bus!

The whole trip to Mundo Divertido was a huge total success, without any problems, and meeting very nice and helpful Mexican people all along the way!

Hope you enjoyed!


Peace, Big Mike and Megan

What a nice little park. I wasn't expecting that. Congrats to Megan on #300! I'll assume it was the Big Mike charm, and luck too, that got you the awesome cab driver. What an awesome perk. Also, glad you two made it back safe, and in one piece!


P.S. NO WAYYYY!!!! I never win ANYTHING! :b This is just the news that I needed to pick me up out of this rut that I've been in the last couple months. Thanks so much for all that you do for TPR, for your readers, and your friends. You're the best, Big Mike!

Seriously, thanks again!
