Anyone going to ACE's Eastcoaster 2007?
It's February 3rd, 2007 which is the Saturday before the Superbowl.

www.aceonline.org/flyers/Eastcoaster2007.pdf

This is a great event to attend in the middle of winter and a good way to speak with the Reps and see whats new for 2007 and see some presentations. The last 2 years Paramount parks gave out free passes plus exit pases

finally used mine this year .

Also Door Prizes, I won 2 tickets to Dorney 3 years ago

This event pays for itself and a good way to meet up with friends ( a face to a name)

I will be there a few tables from the front come by and say hi. And if anyone needs a ride from the Camden county area I have room in my car.

thanks
tom

I try to get to this every year and it just never works out with my schedule. Maybe 2007 will be different.

Although usually, I already know about most of what is being discussed regarding Gadv lol

I'll be going.

WadeJ · « **Reply #3 on:** December 19, 2006, 07:21:37 PM »

ugghh, I'll just be getting back from FL right before. I might actually be around for once but might have to beg a little since we'll be just getting settled, unpacking..tired of our kids at the moment, etc. lol

Didn't you just get back ? LOL

When isn't Wade in Disney? lol

WadeJ · « **Reply #6 on:** December 19, 2006, 08:01:29 PM »

When I'm at Univeral, IOA, Gadv.....

Tom, I edited the original post so that it could be linked to our calander. This will automatically bring the topic back a few weeks before the event occurs to remind us

My ACE membership will be up in January and I really don't know if I am going to renew for next year. So I'm not sure if I can go.

Bubba Z · « **Reply #9 on:** December 20, 2006, 10:31:02 AM »

I'm surprised to see it cost members $31 to attend. Is that for the museum that will built in 2068. I would like to do the Knoebels walk back , but for 46 dollars I could use that money on opening day.

Chuck, Rob or Tom.... What other perks do you really get by joining ACE. I know you get some discounts, and the magazine for free but is it worth the fee for the other events when I can go as a friend of an ACE member.

Anyone else in ACE , please feel free to answer this question!

Why would I want to join ACE?

PcMan · « **Reply #10 on:** December 20, 2006, 11:16:38 AM »

I been a member of ACE for about 22 years.(I just renewed for 5 years)
list of the MANY events 2006 2007 www.aceonline.org/events
I counted over 70 coaster events
ALso a member of European coaster club.
It used to be great B4 the internet for all the updates.
But I still fell it's worth it.
I been invited to many events for free or at reduced rates
Hercules Media day (biggest buffet I ever seen)
Great American scream Machine Media day KK commercial shoot(awesome). some TV events
(I didn't know anyone from this site B4 the KK commercial)
these are old but I been to a bunch more.(I'm always ready to ride anytime anywhere)
Plus just this year El Toro, SFNE Superman event got 17 rides on Superman.
plus many other events at reduced rates.
4 glossy Rollercoaster magazines a years
I think 6 News letters a year.
Free or reduced rates at parts like
Paramount parks half price, I saved $24 in 2006
Indiana beach half price, I saved $10 in 2006
Holiday world half price, I saved $24 in 2006
how much did you save the cost of membership.
www.aceonline.org/discounts
I still enjoy the Magazine and the Newsletters.
Yes ACE members can bring guest but the guests normally pay about $10 more for the events or same.
Like I said in my first post Eastcoaster got me free tickets to parks for the last 3 years
but it is a little costly I would prefer to just buy my own food to save on the cost.
They do the Dorney park walk back and the other events but I only attend the Saturday event.

To me it's a small price to pay and I know I covered if any coaster events pops up.
between a Six Flags season pass and a Cedar Fair Maxx pass and ACE member ship I will be saving $ in the long run.Just think what a Midwest trip how much you save.
Yes Joe/Chuck I always have room for non-members as I normally go it alone

. so as long as you know a few local members your covered, just ask and pitch in for gas

.

And the main reason I'm a member is the exclusive ERT times I hate long lines

ok after all the above I ask PLEASE DON'T JOIN -
THE LESS PEOPLE INLINE, THE MORE I GET TO RE-RIDE

My love for roller coasters and amusement parks began late in life, actually around the age of 35. I am 39 now. I have learned a lot from all the postings on here and from making friends at the park. I was thinking about joining ACE this year. Is it worth it? What are the benefits?

SilverBullet · « **Reply #12 on:** December 20, 2006, 12:12:27 PM »

I'm gonna ask to become a member for my birthday since I'll be able to travel 10x more for these events.

Can't wait!

Rich and I will be there. Although the event itself has become quite boring, it's still nice to see all of our coaster friends during the winer.
