Big Mike Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hello Valuable Big Mike Readers!!! Thanks for once again stopping in to take a look. It is time to show you another small park, but in actuality, it is really a flea market! Since Big Mike already collected the two flea market coasters at Uncle Bernies in Florida, it was now time to travel to Colorado to hit the Mile High Flea Market! Big Mike tracks EVERY single coaster in the USA, and sooner or later he is going to come visit and ride you! It does not matter if you hide at a farm, a zoo, a mall, a fruit stand, a bowling alley or even a flea market... Big Mike will find you!!! So today's episode is from Mile High Flea Market in the state of Colorado and I hope you enjoy it! Peace, Big Mike Mile High Flea Market!! $3 admission to get in. Wow, look how long the flea market is! Whoa, look how wide the flea market is! Overhead view. The flea market covers a lot of ground. Big Mike does a little shopping on the way back to the coaster. At $21, these stun guns are a steal and they will help Big Mike with the line jumpers at the coaster! ZAP!!!!! The rides are open on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm. Prices. Big Mike is only here to ride one ride, the coaster! Dragon Coaster! Overview. The coaster cars fit either one Big Mike or 3 little girls. Lift. Top view. Big Mike is amped to try this craziness coming up! This element was so forceful that Big Mike could not even keep his eye on the camera. Chalk up another out of the way coaster credit for the Mighty Big Man!!!! That's coaster #871 for Rollercoaster Rider. Even the little girls loved the coaster. Other rides at the flea market: Himalaya. Umbrella. Super Slide. Sizzler. (Mmmm, Big Mike loves the Sizzler all you can eat buffets.) Badlands 4X4 Express. Hey, what is that all the way over there?? It's the South M entrance! OMG!!!!!!! Look at that!!!!!!!!! An unclaimed Mikestery Treasure Hunt Card!!!!! You know it is still there! Get your friends, your grandparents, or even yourself to go get that thing!! Big Mike enjoyed The Mile High Flea Market and the chance to scout out another coaster credit that seems overlooked by most, but of course, not by The Mighty Big Man! Hope you enjoyed! Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Yay for more Colorado reports! Ride hours are just what I needed. It's tough to resist those little Dragon coasters. Santa's Village looks like an adorable, scenic and creatively designed place as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mike Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hello Valuable Big Mike Readers!!!!!! Love you guys!! Well here is a change of pace for The Big Mike Road Show, showing that Big Mike is not only a wild and crazy guy, but he has a serious side too! Here is a stop that I made after visiting Amusement Park Drive In located in Montana. Little Bighorn Battlefield, also known as Custer's Last Stand. Here is a little background for this trip report: From Wikipedia: The Battle of the Little Bighorn, also known as Custer's Last Stand and, by the Indians involved, as the Battle of the Greasy Grass, was an armed engagement between combined forces of Lakota, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho people against the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. The battle, which occurred on June 25 and 26, 1876 near the Little Bighorn River in eastern Montana Territory, was the most famous action of the Great Sioux War of 1876. It was an overwhelming victory for the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho, led by several major war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Gall, inspired by the visions of Sitting Bull (Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake). The U.S. Seventh Cavalry, including the Custer Battalion, a force of 700 men led by George Armstrong Custer, suffered a severe defeat. Five of the Seventh's companies were annihilated; Custer was killed, as were two of his brothers, a nephew, and a brother-in-law. Total U.S. deaths were 268, including scouts, and 55 were wounded. So, this is not something you see everyday, or may ever get to see, so Big Mike will bring it to you on today's edition of The Big Mike Road Show! Hope you enjoy! Peace, Big Mike Little Bighorn Battlefield in Montana! Park Rangers give presentations about the battle before you head up to see things. The soldiers climbed this hill to attack the Indians. Each headstone is where a soldier got killed. Big Mike checks out the monument. The story. A look down on the battlefield and where everyone came to rest. Notice the black tombstone. There is Custer among the other soldiers. Close up. There is also a National Cemetery here as well. Since this is a more serious update, we will just end it with this picture. Hope you enjoyed and learned something! Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Funny, I was just reading about the Battle of Little Bighorn the other day. I was the last real win for the Native Americans, after that the U.S. kept stealing their lands, killing them, and trying to assimilate them into American culture. Very sad. And after much debate and poring over the pictures... I'm going to have to say 7 duckies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sspaz1000 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 ^ 24 hours in a day. Big Mike can post his updates anytime he wants to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Alright, I "think" there might be 7 duckies, but I feel more confident going with 6. This was another though one for me, with the pink ducky. Colorblindness is NOT my best friend, haha. So, with that being said... please lock me in for 6 duckies! I loved all of this weeks updates, Big Mike! Next time I'm in Chicago, I'm definitely gonna have to check out Kuma's Corner. Looks like my kinda place!
