ENTHUSIASTS FOUND CHEATING IN BID FOR COASTER RECORD
Jim Raimar also known by the pseudonyms Dreadlock Jim and No Dreadlock Jim has been
disqualified from his bid to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for having ridden the most roller
coaster rides in a season. Security cameras at Paramount's Kings Island revealed that Raimar was
double-clicking on his ride counter during his many rides at the park last year. As a result MTV has
canceled their planned documentary on Raimar's attempts.
Raimar claimed that the idea came from his friend and fellow enthusiast Sean Flaharty. When
confronted by the press, Flaharty explained that after being rejected from Road Rules, he needed to
get on MTV somehow! When he found out that MTV had banned him from their airwaves as a result of
the incident, Flaharty vowed to get on the Guinness Book of World Records. "There's got to be
something I can do with popcorn to get on the show," Flaharty explained. "After all, this is Fox, we're
talking about. They'll show anything!"
Both ACE members will soon report to the ACE executioner for their spankings for violating ACE's new
Code of Conduct.
