CreditCrazy Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Do you have to be a member of TPR to take a picture with Big Mike and get a raffle ticket (for example, a friend that you're bringing).
Big Mike Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 ^ Nope. Â Any friend of a TPR member is a friend of mine is my motto. Â Everyone can play. Â You never know, maybe they will be a TPR member in the future, then they can be put up on the wall at The Big Mike Hotel! Â Â Peace, Big Mike
cfc Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I'm hoping Big Mike has some bikinis as prizes. Â At least in your size, right? Â ^And Mike, let me know when you're coming to BGE or KD.

"It's gonna be a whole lot of fun when the Big Mike train comes rolling right on!"
tunnel lover#1 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Congrats on the 09 tour. When are you going to be at Kings Island? And what is the secret password? The Quest for 200! (Credits That Is) will be stopping at Kings Island on May 24th and 25th. I would love to meet you.
Lenaapple1974 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I am still only up to page 123 (I read for about 4 hours last night!), but I am thouroughly enjoying the thread! I am sorry if this is redundant, but without having to scour through literally hundreds of pages, are you hitting up Great Adventure, Coney Island (is it even going to open?), Hersheypark, or any of the Orlando Universal Flex Pass Plus Parks and when? (Or what page is that on?) I am going to all of them this year, and wanted to see if I could possibly catch up with the BMRS! At this rate, I will be reading forever! I think you post faster than I am reading.
Big Mike Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 LOL  I got a big laugh out of you saying that I am posting faster than you are reading, too funny!  I am totally going to redo page #1 on my thread that will include:  This years schedule  Last years links to all park visits  Who is planning to meet at what parks  Contest rules for 2009  Who guest starred at each visit last year  Big Mike coaster stats  Current park and coaster totals  New logo design  New T-shirt design  2009 contest standings  and more!   Until I update page #1 (probably Friday), here is an answer to the last 2 questions:  Kings Island sometime over Memorial day weekend, not sure which day yet!  Hershey probably not  Orlando in Oct  Coney Island for sure during a weekend sometime  Great adventure for sure on Aug 15, maybe opening day, whenever friends visit.   Peace, Big Mike   PS - MORE prizes announced in a few hours!!!
Lenaapple1974 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 OH VERY AWESOME! Well, I am definitely going to try and get to SFGA for 8/15! And Coney Island is a big plus too. Looking forward to getting bruises from the lap bar on the Cyclone with the BMRS! I will try to keep up with the new stuff on top of reading the old stuff now. It's difficult. It's very addicting though! I cannot stop reading every free moment I get!
tunnel lover#1 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Thanks will try to find you. And how do I get one of the banners?

Big Mike Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 Craig,  You are getting the Holiday World Free Pass that would have been another prize, so you have to settle with that! lol (I don't have an extra anyway!)  Who would have known that a Coney Island sticker would be your favorite prize of them all   Big (spreading the DVD love around for others) Mike
OldJJman Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Question for Big Mike: Â When are you going to stop counting "powered" coasters, and keep a separate list of them??? Â Â JJ Â (You'll catch up w/o them eventually. NOT!) Â
Big Mike Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 Jeff,  I have a "coaster" count, and if it is called a powered "coaster", then ka-ching!!!!  I don't count "fair" coasters, so that evens it up!   I cannot pass my mentor, that would just be wrong, so I may come within 1 coaster of you and then retire   Peace, Big Mike   PS - Wait until I hit Japan, China, Korea ect... Ka-Ching Ka-Ching Ka-Ching
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I feel the same exact way, Big Mike! Â My answer to the question is always "I'll stop counting them as a coaster credit when they stop calling them coasters!".
Lenaapple1974 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 It is now midnight for me, and I am finished with page 200! (Geez this is taking away from my Facebook time... >={ ) Only 55 more pages to go to be 100% caught up with this thread. (I know there are currently 258 pages, but I have read the last few already with anticipation of the 2009 BMRS!) Â In any case, just wanted to say I am still enjoying this thing here... somewhat of a phenomenon I'd say! Oh yeah, and I have now included the banner in my signature! (It should be there anyhow) Â Keep up the awesome work!!! Â edit: My signature is not showing up despite it being correctly entered under my profile. I am trying to figure out what is wrong...there must be more settings!
