| | | I am 15 also and I have been in ACE for two years. I havent had a chance to go to that many events but you get a rollercoaster magazine, thats good enough for me.
Also, does anyone know how long it takes for ACE to send out their products if I orderd something from their website? What happened to the ACE shirt with the giant ACE symbol on the front of it, they dont sell it on their website anymore.

| | | Do it. If anything you'll enjoy the magazines. Check out their [url=http://www.aceonline.org]Web site[/url] for a listing of discounts. You can get into all Paramount parks half off, and lots of other places have discounts on admission.

| | | I've never been with ACE. I kinda felt like it at one point, but I backed out. I just feel like "freelancing" at parks. Going with my friends and such. I'd love to meet new people, but for the most part, I don't have the money or the time. So maybe later on.

| | | I'm a member, and to me it's worth it for the magazine, and the free stuff. I usually only go to one or two events a year, but the stuff you get is worth it. For example, at Eastcoaster this year, we each got a free ticket which can be used at any Paramount park, and a front of the line pass for Cedar Point (good for any ride including TTD). Add to that the posters and fliers from the parks, it's a great haul.
The events are fun...just don't turn into a total ACE fanatic. There are too many people in ACE who are dead ringers for Comic Book Guy on the Simpsons. |

| | | You defiantly should join. It’s more then worth it. I joined a few years ago and have had a great time. First off their magazine ([I]Roller Coaster[/I]) has great articles and information about coasters around the country. They also publish ACE News ever moth or two which gives its members news about upcoming events and coasters. Both f these are included in the price to join. If you’re able to I suggest you go to one of their events at a park. The parks are very nice to the ACE members and give you a lot of attention.

| | | During events they have ERT (Exclusive Ride Time) before and after the park is open. During this time only ACE members can ride the coasters (they usually only have a few open). During the rest of the day people split up and go with friends or family. ACE usually has some kind of group lunch that is optional to attend. :)

| | | I had no idea so many people were members. It's something I keep thinking about doing, but always back out. Same excuse as everyone else, never sure if I'm going to be able to take advantage of the discounts.
The magazines sound like they're worth it though...

| | | If you don't join ACE, then at least join some other coaster club. You'll get similar benefits, newsletters, etc... ACE is probably regarded as the best though, and one of the more expensive clubs to join---but worth the price!! | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
