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