Coaster Christmas 2007

Coaster Christmas is an ACE-sponsored event at SDC involving the usual treats such as ERT and question and answer sessions with SDC staff. I believe this year's event will take place the weekend after Thanksgiving week, though it's probably different this year, and it could change. This is the event that I would re-join ACE for, but I doubt I'll be able to make it.
It would be great if someone on here could go though, as it is not only a fantastic event, but there's so much info shared there that we would all love to hear.

I was going to attend last yead but STL was covered in ice. If it's warm enough for the coasters to run, chances are I'll be there.

Yeah, you know I was thinking that if I did end up paying $60 for an ACE membership, then the $20 or so for the event, it would suck to not be able to ride anything.

^I believe that you must either join ACE or know a member and sign up in advance. I'm not sure if other coaster club memberships apply or not.

Does anyone know what is planned for this year's CC? I know there will be some ERT on Powderkeg and probably TGS or Wildfire, but what else is usually involved? Isn't there some sort of Q&A?
I'm still debating whether I want to go or not. It would really suck if I went ahead and joined ACE just so I could, and then found out I would be busy that weekend. At least the magazines would be nice.

ERT is set for Powderkeg and TGS, with FiTH being a possibility for bad weather.
Ah, I want to get out there so badly, but the only time my brother and his wife can go is the weekend before, so I'd have to make 2 trips on back-to-back weekends with 4 hour drives. Decisions, decisions...

We're doing two weeks back to back as well. I say go for it, but remember that the mail-in cut off is this Friday (postmarked)

I just don't think I'll get there this year... money issues...
Next year, however, I'm sure I'll be there, and I will be there the weekend after Thanksgiving this year.

$26 for ACE/SDC passholder members is a steal

Yeah, but the gas, hotel bills, and food add up, especially when you live 3+ hours away. That's why I haven't been much this season. Next year, I want to try and go more often, but we'll just see how things work out.

So, we live 5+ and we've been there over 20 times this year

I live 4 hours away and have only been once this season; I'll be there one more time before the park closes for winter and that'll be it.
If I had the money, I definitely would have been there over 20 times, but not everyone can afford that.
