  1. See, haters, the Bigger-Than-Most guy addressed my questions and added to his epic thread. Not sure why the Peanut Gallery gets so fired up with my questions. Thanks, Michael, your candor is truly admirable.
  2. Large Michael, I appreciate your candor in replying to my questions. A few thoughts and questions: * Give the people what they want - start a new thread. How great would it be for multiple Mammoth Miguel threads to be battling eachother? Since you're so amazing, why not create a battle against your only real competition = yourself? * Take a year off, say in 2010, and donate the funds that would have gone towards another epic coaster season to a worthy cause. That would be awesome. * Refrain from contests and other lame attempts to up your view count. Do it naturally, resist the urge to use the steroids of thread views and go natural brother. * Let your minions, which are many, blow your own pipe. Too often I click into your thread, which I know you enjoy thinking about, and see you posting the latest power rankings. Trust me, if you went a few weeks without tooting your own horn - one of your peeps would do it for you. And your doucheyness factor would go down quite a bit. * Are you saying that if the park says no, you will not take a picture? That is, is every picture you've ever taken on a ride "legit"? Or do you simply not ask at some parks knowing that the answer will be "no" and go stealth? * I assume you are sticking with horribly annoying yellow/gold color for this year's shirt? Why? Wait, I just answered that question. * What do your fellow UPS workers think of your hobby? * What would you think the majority of folks the frequent this fine site would think - that you're awesome, and posting the blow by blow exploits of one Massive Mikey is super cool and entertaining OR that you're incredibly annoying? Obviously you have your fans, but if people were asked to answer honestly ... which side do you think the majority would fall?
  3. Hi Big Mike, Hoping this post will not be edited or deleted or moved ... although I'm sure I'll receive some snarky messages from your minions, at least. *Do you get permission from each and every park for the coasters where you decide to take an on-ride photo? If so, how does that work? *Do you ever feel a bit creepy charming your way on to kiddy coasters where there are, in fact, usually only kiddies hanging out? Have any parents ever asked you what you're doing? *Are you adding your 2009 trips to this thread, or are you starting a new epic one? *I appreciated the photos of Great America - how would you compare the one in Gurnee to the one in NoCal? *How do you get so much time off of work? *How many of the parks, that you've been to, are no longer in operation? That's it - hope you have the time to answer my questions. Enjoyed your appearance with Jay, by the way.
  4. ADMIN EDIT - See previous Admin Edit. cfc I am still amazed that you were able to hang on to ALL of this stuff for ALL of these years, have taken the time to scan it all in, and upload it here for everyone to check out. Very cool.
  5. Was there anything more to the "campaign" with the Asian dude other than his face appearing in the corner of photos/posters/commercials? Was silly to walk away from Mr. Six - glad to see that they're going back to him. I assume they feel it a sound business decision to do so, but it'd be great if they didn't and were going back to him to simply spite the old management
  6. Thanks for all of your work in loading in all of this interesting stuff - and posting it here. I'm sure most of this stuff would be hard to find elsewhere on the 'net. This is by far the Biggest and Best thread on this site/messageboard...I know there have been many thanks and tons of pats on the back, but I just wanted to add one from me. ADMIN EDIT - Removed another totally unnecessary dig at another TPR Member.
  7. I think I've kept up with this entire thread thus far ... has anyone mentioned the possibility of it being for that new park in Cozumel (Mayan Adventure Land)? I have no idea how firm the plans for that park really are, and if this is way too early for them to be ordering track, but maybe?
  8. Big Mike, Epic trip reports for 2008. Awesome. I suggest you start another thread for your wacky 2009 adventures! Just imagine what it'd be like to have another thread in the top 10 of replies/views/blowhardisms/etc. Then, what you could do, is to add together all of the stats of all of your threads and cross check them against combined stats of other topics and once again prove your awesomeness to all. I think your fans deserve a new thread, and to not have to sift through hundreds of posts to keep up on your '09 adventures! I'm sure it'll be refreshing for you to start off with a fresh new thread. Please let me know if I need to get in touch with your HQs on this - or if this is a decision you can make on your own. Humbly yours, MSW
  9. Wow, that's too bad. Although I've read some crazy estimates in regards to how many retail locations will close in the first quarter - I can imagine a family park is even tougher to keep afloat. And I thought that THIS trip report of Nut Tree Park was pretty awesome ADMIN EDIT: Please stop with the underhanded remarks.
  10. I've been surfing around the internet trying to figure out what's going on with Six Flags New Orleans. I've read in a couple of places that, quietly, SFI has been released from their lease with the city for the land. Additionally, there have been cranes on site for some time now and rides are leaving. Anyone in the area have an update? Anyone have photos? I realize that the city STILL has much bigger fish to fry than a theme park, but also find it bizarre the lack of news about the park.
  11. I agree--a very nice TR with good pics and good info. (I've never been to Boomers, but will avoid the place on Saturday nights.) Thanks for sharing. And MrSkyWhirl, methinks that, for a member with so few posts, thou doth protest too much. Touche', Sir, as there is no doubt that there is a strong correlation between post count and, well. I don't know. Mostly in lurker mode, I appreciate this place quite a bit - and when someone can simply post a trip report that is entertaining, informative, and douche-free I "must" say something. As far as the rental car, it's amazing that Enterprise had the best deal. In all of my US travels, they are usually the most expensive. By the way, sounds like you guys got your money's worth out of that rental (quite a bit of driving on your quick trip)! Again, thanks and hope you're enjoying the latest round of winter weather
  12. Am I the only one who assumed that the original poster IS the owner of that site that was taken d0wn!!11!!!!!1!!!?
  13. Very nice trip report - thanks. Again, simply amazing that a report can be enjoyable without some sort of game or made up backstory to it. You went somewhere, took really nice photos, and posted them (with just a bit of commentary/explanation). Methinks some blowhards around here could take a page out of your book! In any case, how much homeword did you do in regards to buying discount tickets for the parks/hotel/car etc?
  14. I've actually "shopped" there before. Was unique, but definitely a bit pressure packed if you were really doing your weekly shopping. Was cool, but seemed like a pure gimmick rather than some sort of wave of the future. They've had some maintenance issues with the ride, and when I left China there was talk of either the store closing or a possilbe rehab (already).
  15. Nice trip report, thanks. As I finished it I was thinking "wow, this guy has proven (as others have) that you can post a trip report without being creepy, blowhardy, or bizzare". Then sweet irony of ironies, King Creepy actually posted in your thread. Incredible. I had never heard of Nut Tree Park, really looks like a nice place for families. Between that and SFDK, you visited two really pretty parks! Thanks again.
