Unless you like looking at hundreds of disgusting carp feeding on people's random overthrown items, a lot of untamed mullets, and swimming in 'Purified Well Water!' (that's straight from their signs). Maybe I'm just prissy from being raised next to Chicago all of my life, but I'm still gagging from the thought of those nasty fish.

This is hilarious!
Indiana Beach was my first job ever. I grew up in Monticello and worked there, as did most of my friends. I started as one of those guys who walks around with a broom and "pooper-scooper", cleaning up popcorn, cigarette butts, and much worse stuff (getting paid $2.65 per hour, btw). I ended up working at "the pier" as a lifeguard in the "filtered well water".
If you were a hick like me, it was not a bad place to grow up and work... it is pretty much a glorified state fair-type place, with many mullets and tube tops as Amanda mentioned above.
There are a couple of rides that are neat... some small roller coasters that are well-designed (Hoosier Hurricane and Cornball Express) and a really cool "ski lift" ride that takes you over the whole park. But... it is NOTHING compared to ANY Six Flags. Think of Houston's Six Flags, put about 1/4 of their rides into about 1/8 of the space and place it on a dirty, dammed up, over populated river (Lake Shafer).
Having said all this... I totally agree with Amanda. I would definitely not suggest a meeting there, unless you would want to go and "people watch" for your entertainment.
Besides, Indiana Beach is about 2 hours away from Indianapolis... there are many of things to do in Indy that would be much better.
Also... the best theme park in Indiana is Holiday World, in Santa Claus... at the south end of the state. It's about 3 hours from Indy.

ps... also, by the way... we are realizing that many more than 40 teams are wanting to play... we are working on that issue (no promises, though)
