We were Thrilled to host the ACE Coaster Con 46 Add-On day at Six Flags Magic Mountain on Saturday. Thank you to Jackie Edwards ACE - Pacific Southwest Rep and all the American Coaster Enthusiast that came to the Park. There were a lot of great questions asked of our management team: Jeff Harris, President of Six Flags Magic Mountain, along with Jon Howell, Director of Maintenance & Dorian Holden, Manager of Operations during the Q & A session. Everyone received a piece of X2's suspension ring, and for a few who answered trivia questions correctly, won chain link couplers from X2 (not shown), Ninja and Wonder Woman! The night wasn't over yet, with an ERT at Twisted Colossus, Scream, Wonder Woman and Batman the Ride, even the Cape Crusade was out to greet the ACE members.

What a privilege to speak at Coaster Con 46. Presenting stories and memories from the last 40 years in the amusement industry was an incredible honor.

A huge thank you to American Coaster Enthusiasts and Santa Cruz Boardwalk for being the perfect hosts! Every detail was flawlessly executed, making the event truly unforgettable.
