Spikes Paint Ball Review
Spikes paintball is getting more reports of not being a very good place to bring your family and friends to enjoy a time of paintball.
One father has stepped forward and has alleged that the owner, Randy MacDonald, verbally became abusive to himself in front of his own children a little over 1 month ago.
The situation at hand involved the fathers young children, elementary school age. Randy MacDonald accused the father of being a 'thief'' and shouting this to the father in front of the fathers children and friends. Apparently, the children were dropped off the previous weekend, and the children bought 500 paintballs from the owners (putting $40 into Randy MacDonald's pocket), and then the children proceeded to get the paintball guns. Being the school children's age, they would have had no idea as to the what costs money, and what does not.
This is further complicated because some times Spikes paintball charges you a $10 fee to rent the paintball guns, and some times they do not, when you purchase 500 paintballs. It depends on who is working that day.
Allegedly, the children took the guns without paying for them. When Randy MacDonald approached the father the following week about this, the father stated that it is different in fee structure from week to week, depending on whom is working. Randy MacDonald continues to speak down to the father, in front of his children, and the father simply said, "I'm not a little kid, and I don't appreciate you speaking that way to me, in front of my children, and I do not want you speaking to my children that way either." The father continued to stress that he has spent hundreds of dollars at Spike's paintball in the last 12 months, and that Randy is now all bent out of shape over not paying for paintball guns the previous week, which was not a deliberate act, but a act from elementary kids not knowing about fee's, especially when the fee structure changes from week to week.
Spikes Paintball owner, Randy MacDonald, then stated in return to the father, "You are a their, you're a theif, you're a theif." Randy MacDonald stated this over and over, in front of the fathers own children, and their guests they brought that weekend.
This behavior is unacceptable. It was not the fathers fault. He was not even there the previous weekend. And Randy MacDonald is going to blame elementary school children, who have aligned his pocket with hundreds of dollars.
Additionally, this is about the incompetency of Spikes Paintball and their fee structure, depending on who is working that day, and the unacceptable behavior of Spike's Paintball owner.
Apparently, the father phoned Spikes Paint Ball owner the following day to ask for an apology for the way he was spoken to, but Spikes Paintball owner gave no apology. He would rather save $10 in gun rental fee's.

Are you serious? All of these are posted by the same guy. If you are an unbiased blogger then you should have comments from all involved. I have been going to Spikes for the better part of 18 years and have never heard nor witnessed anything remotely close to these. I was also there the day your "alleged" incident happened and it went down nothing like what you described. I'd like to know why in one post it is described as a family, then the child was with you all day in the next post, then the child was alone in the next. Stop hate mongering on Spikes. I am going to check into what can be done on these posts through legal recourse, and let the law handle this. You are dragging the name of a great person throught the mud because you had an issue with him. You never mentioned any of the things you did that day to antagonize Randy did you. Why don't you tell both sides of the story and then let people decide for themselves instead of railroadign them into believing the wrong thing. There are other paintball fields on PEI, why not just go to one of them and let all this go instead of acting like a child yourself and continuing this hate mongering. Wow, get a life man
