coreysjunk Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I agree with all the pix that Brian posted. And.... unfortunately, I was hoping our late entry would sneak in before the leaders could catch wind. Â On another note: Â I've been having problems getting my signature to post. A HUGE thanks to Robb and Hanno for solving my problem. None of my existing posts contain my signature, but they all should have it NOW, starting with THIS post.

Big Mike Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hello Valuable Big Mike Readers!!! Â Â We start Week #8 of daily updates, and it's time for another Find the Ducky Game!!! Â There are only 3 Find the Ducky games left this year, so it is make it or break it time! Â Â This episode comes to you from Elitch Gardens in Colorado! Â Â Hope you enjoy! Â Â Peace, Big Mike Here is the ducky you are looking for in this episode, Baby Blue ducky! Â Do not count this ducky picture in your total and don't give away the hiding places! Just post your answer in the thread! Elitch Gardens! Prices. Map. Big Mike hates to see closed coasters when he travels cross country! Jeff (flyingcoasterfreak) meets up with The Big Man for fun in Colorado! The herd is ready to ride. Twister 2! Overview with Mile High Stadium in the background! (It will always be Mile High to Big Mike) This is Sidewinder, not sure why Big Mike failed to get the coaster sign??? Mind Eraser! Overview, and probably the best picture of Sidewinder too! Seats. Maybe the sign out front saying Boomerang is closed was wrong? Nope, closed! Grrrr. Overview. Flying Coaster was already fenced off and SBNO! Yeah, I guess the coaster needs those. So I missed this coaster here, then it moved to Coney Island at Scream Zone, I went to ride it there and it was closed all day there too! Damn coaster is punking me! Half Pipe! I guess it will be one of those days, as this coaster is closed for the day too! Cactus Coaster! There is the cactus. Overview. No surprise with the way the day is going, Big Mike is denied to ride the Cactus Coaster, with this being one of 14 coasters in the USA that Big Mike has been denied to ride! Time to take a look at the other rides at Elitch Gardens, and Big Mike also meets another good friend, Jordan (themeparkman25)! Jordan is operating Thunderbolt! Yech, someone threw up on him when they got off his ride! Tilt-A-Whirl. Shipwreck Falls. Sea Dragon. Shake Rattle & Roll. Rainbow. Tower of Doom. You are doomed if you sit in the seat on the right side. Disaster Canyon. Ghost Blasters. Big Mike loves shooting games. Dragon Wing. Around the World in 80 seconds. Studio Express. Star Swinger. Studio Tours. Studio 1. Crazy shananigans. Turn of the Century. Odd frog hopper. Chaos. Two good buddies, Jordan and Jeff, sporting the Big Mike Road Show pins! Hey look! Mats and Chris from GCI are here too, and they are wearing Big Mike Road Show pins too!! Thanks to Jeff for treating The Big Man to lunch! Big Mike did not stay to see Metro Station. Big Mike = Star A new game, Wack a Big Mike! Remember when Big Mike had the crazy hat pictures in his updates? This wacky hat goes better with the Official Big Mike Road Show T-Shirt. Jeff checks off Colorado on the Official Big Mike Road Show T-Shirt! Jordan checks off Texas, as Big Mike was going to hit one park in Texas within the next week. Texas was a late add on, so we actually had to write in Texas on the check off list. Big Mike traveled to Utah, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and then back to Colorado to get those 2 coasters he missed the week before! Half Pipe! You can spot Big Mike with his hands up on Half Pipe! The only fearless one! Boomerang credit for Big Mike! Big Mike makes his return visit worth it, claiming both coasters he missed! Just in case anyone is keeping score at home: Twister 2 - 868 Sidewinder - 869 Mind Eraser - 870 Half Pipe - 896 Boomerang - 897 Thanks to my buds, it is always great to hang out with friends when Big Mike stops by in your town on his World tour! Â Hope you enjoyed! Â How many duckies did you find??? Â Â Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mike Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hello Valuable Big Mike Readers!!! Â Today we have an episode from South Dakota, where Big Mike was visiting Boondocks to ride the coaster there! Â A slight detour brought The Big Man to Belle Fourche South Dakota, which just happens to be the Geo Center of the United States! Â Check it out with The Big Mike Road Show!!! Â Â Hope you enjoy! Â Â Peace, Big Mike Big Mike visits the state of South Dakota for another fun exciting thing to do! Belle Fourche South Dakota, Geo Center of the United States! The old Geo Center used to be in Kansas before Hawaii and Alaska were added. A very nice walkway complete with flags leads to the Geo Center. There it is, see it? Look how fancy this is, very impressed! The Geo Center of the Nation plaque on the ground. Big Mike standing on the Geo Center of the Nation, but you can't see it due to Big Mike's belly. Big Mike hopes you enjoyed this view of this out of the way special place! Â Anyone ever been there???? Â Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mike Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hello Valuable Big Mike Readers!!!  It's Wednesday, so here at The Big Mike Road Show, that means an update from a small park on Big Mike's World Tour!   Today's episode comes to you from the Canton Christmas Tree Farm in Texas!!!   The great thing about this coaster ride is that this coaster is only open on a very limited basis, kind of like the coasters Big Mike rode at the Puyullup Fair, Barnstable County Fair, or Strickler's Grove!!! You have to hit these coasters at an exact time of year or you will miss them!  Well, maybe that is not completely true, that is, if you are The Mighty Big Man, Big Mike!   Yes, there have been times that Big Mike has ridden "kids only" coasters such as Percy's at SFMM and the Kiddie Coaster at Rye Playland, but those were open for full seasons.  There have been times like at John Ivers where Big Mike was granted special access to the back yard coasters too!  There have also been times where parks such as Schnepf Farms just open up their coaster during the off season for The Big Man also, but this only comes about by being a well known, slighty famous World Traveler Coaster Rider!  The special perks and VIP treatment does come in handy every once in a while and Big Mike had to use it once again here at Canton Christmas Tree Farm, a park that Big Mike was visiting in April yet the park only runs in November and December!   So, as always here on The Big Mike Road Show, Big Mike loves to go ride those hard to get, often rarely ever seen coasters and bring back all the memories for The Valuable Big Mike Readers to see, so he is doing it again on todays episode!  Hope you enjoy!   Peace, Big Mike   Big Mike visits Canton Christmas Tree Farm:  Big Mike all jacked up getting this hard to get credit!  Big Mike rides Santa's Runaway Sleigh! The Canton Christmas Tree Farm in Texas! The Canton Christmas Tree Farm is only open after Thanksgiving into December, for sure it won't be open in mid April, right? With The Big Man today is Laura (cal1br3tto), and the reason she is with Big Mike is that she knows the magic Big Mike can achieve when it comes to getting those hard to get coaster credits! Overview of Santa's Runaway Sleigh! Side view too! Framed view done perfectly by Big Mike! Train. The lift inside a custom built station. Big Mike succeeds and rides coaster #990 in his illustrious career! Thanks to the wonderful people at The Canton Christmas Tree Farm for opening up their coaster just for The Mighty Big Man!  Hope you enjoyed!  Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
