Beech Bend's wave pool and lazy river are opening on Thursday, July 22nd at 10:00 a.m.  The wait is finally over.  It has been a long, hard summer for our crew and we appreaciate your patience.  After all the flood damage, recovery efforts, repairing, rebuilding and re-ordering, we are extremely happy to open the wave pool and the "not so lazy" river.  Tiki Island is still a few days away from being open---the replacement parts for it were the last ones to come in.

Our region was honored to receive second place in the regional website category at Coaster Con XXXIII. We'd also like to congratulate ACE Southeast for 1st place and Western PA for 3rd place!

ACE mourns the loss today of Holiday World & Splashin' Safari Owner, Will Koch.  He passed away Sunday evening due to diabetes complications.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the Koch Family, Holiday World and its employees.

Paul Blick,
ACE Midwest Regional Representative
