Your Favorite Coaster Club

Jason Hammond's avatar

I'm looking into joining a coaster enthusiast club. I was wondering what eveyone here is a member of and if they have any sugestions for me. I live in cleveland and was considering "Great Ohio Coaster Club" because it is local and I thought there might be a better chance of meeting some new friends.

I was in ACE for many years and in Great Ohio for a while as well as the Western New York one. ACE is pretty good especially if you are interested in going to parks all over the world but it is or was $50 a year. I haven't been in it for a while but the used to send out newletters and and their magazine which usually has some good photographs.

The local clubs are cheaper to join and might be you best bet they have mailings too

I plan on rejoining a club and I get enough money together. It is a good way to see new parks and ride different coasters. The people you meet are just like any other group some are annoying but most are nice.

CoasterBuzz Club. The only club you'll ever need.

I was waiting for you to chime in Jeff. ;)

I have been a member of ACE for 5 years. It is 50 bucks per year, which includes 4 issues of Rollercoaster Magazine and I believe 6 issues of Ace News. It also gets you many discounts on park admission and other things. You also get a membership card:) lol.

I'm a member of ACE, GOCC and Coasterbuzz. They are all great clubs. Coasterbuzz gets you ad-free browsing on CB, and helps support this site and Jeff. GOCC is full of great people, and ACE gets you the perks and national recognition.

I don't know about that last part. In all of the years I've been a coaster dork, I've yet to find even one compelling reason to join ACE. I'm not trying to cut on the club, I just don't see the value proposition there. I never have.

I belong to ACE for the 4 issues of its magazine. Of course, only for the articles. ;)

ACE does have a good magazine. It is the rest of the club that is a big turnoff for me.

As Jeff said - CoasterBuzz Club. You can't go wrong.


I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.
