Why isn't Coaster Community on the approved list? I don't want to go buy a coasterbuzz membership to get it, where you at Jason, I'll give you money.

How much is an ACE membership running these days? I know there used to be some perks, but now I don't know what they are offering.

Jason · « **Reply #1 on:** Mar 19, 2009, 08:45 »

We're on the list. We just got approved after the Mania site was done.

^^Discounted admission to Holiday World is a good perk of ACE

AyTrane · « **Reply #3 on:** Mar 20, 2009, 06:20 »

Never mind, answered my own question.

I guess I'll need a membership Jason.

i thought that this club had that discount too....

Jason · « **Reply #5 on:** Mar 20, 2009, 08:55 »

We do. If anyone has any questions regarding our membership you can check out our club page http://www.coastercommunity.com/coaster-community-club-a-code-of-conduct.html

But if you were ever considering joining ACE this is the year to do it. Our membership will not get you into Coaster Con.

Alright, hotel reservations have been made. Anyone else planning to go? June 5th - 6th at Cedar Point.

Check here for more details: http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/news/coastermania/

We are tentatively planning on going again this year -- but a lot depends on several other things that are still "up in the air" here at the MiG HQ.

AyTrane · « **Reply #8 on:** Mar 25, 2009, 04:42 »

I think we'll make the drive to Chicago, and hang out for a few days, then head to Cedar Point, then possibly Kings Island, Holiday World, SFStL, and Worlds of Fun. We may have to scrap a couple of those, but we'll see. I have been wanting to get to Holiday World, and I really can't pass up Diamondback. Kings Island had been my home park for four years, so it's a necessity.

Swoosh · « **Reply #9 on:** Mar 25, 2009, 06:15 »

I think we might head over to Waldameer after Mania to ride RFII. I want to ride it before it gets the chance to get "GG smooth" (and you know what I mean there)

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #10 on:** Mar 26, 2009, 10:32 »

GG Smooth! HaHa! I wish I was going this year but I am holding off until next year.

Swoosh · « **Reply #11 on:** Mar 26, 2009, 04:43 »

Plans have changed -- No Mania this year -- we have something even better that has just popped up on the radar.

Sure hope it goes through.

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #12 on:** Apr 2, 2009, 10:41 »

See Dustijn yall can just do Mania with us next year for Zak's and my first trip to Cedar Point anyways.

Swoosh · « **Reply #13 on:** Apr 2, 2009, 01:49 »

That sounds like a good idea and it would be a lot of fun.
I think we're going to Orlando instead of going to CoasterMania this year because well it's already paid for (remember how I was talking about that company we booked our honeymoon through saying that we never used our package and it is still good to use "again").

Jason · « **Reply #14 on:** Apr 2, 2009, 02:08 »

That's freakin' sweet.

And it's way better than finding 10 bucks in your winter coat when you first put it on.

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #15 on:** Apr 2, 2009, 02:17 »

Yea I remember that. That is pretty sweet that they are still going to let you re take the trip even though you told them you already took it HaHa!

AyTrane · « **Reply #16 on:** Apr 2, 2009, 02:29 »

Wow, that will be fun!

I'll try and take some video of Ron Toomer speaking at the event. Now I just have to bring some caffeine so I can go to bed at 12:30am after ERT and wake up at 6am for ERT!

Jason, you might know, since I have a platinum pass, do I need to RSVP that I'm coming, or do I just show up?

Jason · « **Reply #17 on:** Apr 2, 2009, 02:38 »

Good question. I'll look into it.

Swoosh · « **Reply #18 on:** Apr 2, 2009, 04:13 »

You have to pre-register otherwise you have to stand in the "long line"

Oh dammit. Now I remember why I wanted to go to Coastermania this year.

AyTrane · « **Reply #20 on:** Apr 2, 2009, 06:20 »

How do I register, all I see is ticket purchasing information.

AyTrane · « **Reply #21 on:** Apr 2, 2009, 06:22 »

Yeah, Brad Sherman told me that Ron was talking this year; that made up my mind right then and there.

It seems weird for sure. I sent a quick note to the person handling the event.

AyTrane · « **Reply #23 on:** Apr 3, 2009, 05:17 »

Thanks Jason, did you happen to get my card in the mail?

Jason · « **Reply #24 on:** Apr 3, 2009, 07:01 »

Here's the response from the park.

Quote

There is no early pre-registration this year. The process is the same as it used to be – arrive anytime on Friday, stop by Group Sales, pick up your materials and enjoy the park.

I realized that I ran out of envelops this weeks and I plan on picking some up later today. Your card is sitting right in front of me. I believe that it has made a few off hand remarks this morning. It really wants out of my office.

Please do! Anyone who worked on coasters and the Apollo missions is awesome in my book.

Sounds familiar, don't let it bite you on the hand!

Any idea where group sales is? Probably up at the front of the park? I always use the Magnum gate, so it will be fun to go to a part of the park I have never been to.

AyTrane · « **Reply #27 on:** May 25, 2009, 08:06 »

The ERT Schedule has been announced!

Friday, June 5

* (10:15 - 11:15 p.m.) Magnum XL-200 & Skyhawk
* (11:00 p.m. - Midnight) Maverick

Saturday, June 6

* (6:00 - 8:00 a.m.) Millennium Force

* (11:30 p.m. - 12:30 a.m.) Raptor

I'm not going to get much sleep! Magnum and Maverick late, then Millennium Force at 6am! Holy buckets, this is going to be interesting. The coffee will be brewed, I'm going to have to take a nap before the film festival on Saturday.

Swoosh · « **Reply #28 on:** May 25, 2009, 08:27 »

Wow, I would only be interested in the morning ERT session on Saturday...well and Ron Toomer speaking.
I would be surprised if many stick around for the night ERT session on Saturday.

AyTrane · « **Reply #29 on:** May 25, 2009, 08:37 »

Seems odd that Blue Streak would be on the list since it has very short lines anyway.
