Sport Today

Hi Everyone..

I am planning on attending the Coaster Chaos event at Indiana Beach on
May 4th 2002, but I have a slight problem.

The attendee packets can only be collected between 9 and 10am, but my
group and I will not be able to get there until about 11:30am. This
packet contains info, name-tags, and the all-important wrist-strap.

Can I ask someone to pick up this stuff for me and my group (only 4 of
us) and meet us at the entrance at 11:30 (or possibly even just leave
it at Guest Relations)? I will gladly provide some food or ice-cream
in return!

I have already mailed Scott Holmes (regional ACE rep for Indiana), and
even tried mailing the park (the e-mail address on the web-site

looking forward to this event .. I'd hate to miss it because of some
silly timing issues.

For those interested, here is a link to info on this event:

Many thanks in advance,
Cameron.

I used to enjoy going to events in that region, however, with those two at the
controls, I'd be *very* careful.  They singlehandeldy almost made me *not*
return to ACE by that one incident.  Who the hell wants to drive that far (over
two and a half hrs) and in those kinds of conditions (50mph winds and
torrential rains) to get told "OUT NOW" by some
orange-windbreaker-pants-wearing joke?  Not I.

I hope you have a smooth visit to IB though, it is such a great park and I
can't wait to return!

Thank God I don't have to deal with their ***anymore.  Unfortunately, there
are a lot who still have to.  So sorry.

Face it, to be that strict about something like a freakin tour is absurd. Six
minutes late (and we tried EVERYTHING in our power to contact them and notify
them we would be a couple mins late, called long distance many times but no one
picked up...how the HELL are we supposed to know we'd be six minutes late!  We
are coming from over 160mi away!  You absolutely cannot plan that precisely).

I can't imagine anyone actually sticking up for what they did, but to each
their own.

Not to mention the REAL part of this whole dilemma that irritates me to no end
-- HOW he dealt with the situation.  Telling us "OUT NOW" and pointing to the
exits like we're children?  Who the hell is this guy?  What kind of rep will
just say "OUT NOW" without even hearing a single, solitary word about what had
happened?  What if we had stopped to help someone on the side of the road?  

The fact remains you cannot be that hardnosed about it when there are
extenuating circumstances (which Lord Holmes had *zero* desire to hear) and
then deal with it like a Grade A ***.  

Basically, Lord Holmes needs to find a spot which DOESN'T deal with people --
he's so un-people person it's unbelievable.

I actually used to like the two of them...boy, how things change when you see
thier "True Colors."

Okay, enough from me on this subject, I have said my piece.  If you would like
to respond, go for it, but I feel that I have nothing else to say.  Thanks for
letting me vent.

Agreed.

Maybe he is being paid for it. =)

I enjoy reading about this ridiculous mishap at Indiana Beach, everytime I hear
it not one FACT is different, its just plain the truth.

As for myself I knew they were like that some time ago and avoided them as much
as possible (unless a certain idiot brings them into your motel room).

If you want to yell at people like that, you do NOT belong as a
representative...I dont think any of my school  & college teachers, coaches or
work supervisors & managers would ever act like that let alone a REP for a club
based on FUN...

Anyway thats enough for me!!
