Every year I always anxiously await the trip reports for Coaster Christmas (typically Swoosh's but sometimes others), partially because I love to hear about how other's experienced the event, but also because I want to know that all the worrying and stressing I did was for naut. (and trust me I stress and worry about EVERYTHING) I am glad to hear everyone had a good time.  SDC REALLY REALLY  went out of their way to make this an exceptional event.  I am sure they read this but, if anyone would like to send a personal note of thanks to the staff let me know and I can provide contact information.

I have heard some issues about ERT, about how regular park guests made it to wildfire by 11:45 or so, I don't think that particularly bothered anyone drastically, but I am really interested in hearing of any concerns people had.

Otherwise, I will let everyone know when I hear anything about the spring event!  I believe there will be a room block for that event as well.

ERT is a staple of ACE events, it stands for Exclusive Ride Time.  Basically only those attending the event get to ride what rides are scheduled for ERT, in this case PowderKeg, Fire in the Hole, Wildfire and I believe the Giant Swing.  Since weather is always an issue (temperature), usually SDC has some kind of back up option, plus we always have Fire in the Hole. 

As far as the cave tour, as far as I am aware its the normal tour, but SDC almost always throws some suprises in that even I am not aware of.  Is there something you would like to see added to the tour?  My creativity has run dry, so I am always open to new ideas.

Usually between 50-80, though this year I think we may have a few more. 

Just to share some questions I received over the last few weeks via e-mail:

You CAN become a trial member for $19.99 (if you have never been a member before), which not only covers an ACE membership for 6 months, but does allow the member to bring non ace members to any ACE event as guests.  Please be advised that as an ACE member you would be responsible for the actions of the guests that are attending under your name and member #.

Non-members (of ACE) are allowed to attend ACE events, however, you must attend as a guest of an ACE member, and the member's name needs to be given at time of registration. 

The registration deadline is Nov 24 for online registrations!  More information at www.ACE18.org

Please feel free to e-mail me at jlovesee@sbcglobal.net with any questions you may have.  Moderators thank you for letting me post this information!

Yes it is.  However, SDC is not only including the events included in the schedule mentioned above, they are ALSO including a ticket back to the Grand Opening of Outlaw Run (that if unable to attend can be used any operating day until May 31, 2013)

Both my husband and I are both SDC passholders too, so I understand exactly why you asked, I would have too.

What Dustijn said...

Trial membership was started as a great way to "try out" an ACE membership, and its a great price $19.99 for 6 months.  Plus ACE also has family memberships too.

I discovered this website only about two years ago.. Thats pretty crazy as I have been directly involved in planning events at SDC for 5-6 years and going since the early 80's!  

I wanted to let every one know here about our upcoming 9th annual Coaster Christmas event at SDC, scheduled for December 1st and 2nd, 2012.  The event is open to ACE members, and guests of ACE members, and if you never thought about becoming an ACE member before you can learn more about our organization here: http://www.aceonline.org/JoinACE/

For $25 for members, and $30 for non-members (you must attend as a guest of a member though), Coaster Christmas this year will feature:
-2 Meals, including a meal at the actual Outlaw Run station, and meal voucher for use either on Saturday evening or Sunday.
-VIP seating for saturday showings of "Dickens' Christmas Carol" and SDC's new "Its a Wonderful Life" shows
-ERT on Wildfire, PowderKeg and Fire in the Hole (weather permitting)
-Construction tour of Outlaw Run, and several special suprises that you may never get the chance to do again...
-Presentations from Silver Dollar City, Worlds of Fun, Six Flags St. Louis and Schlitterbahn on their new upcoming additions for 2013
-Behind the Scenes tour of the Silver Dollar City steam trains
-Special ACE tour of Marvel Cave

Yes... all for $25, including admission to SDC for Both Days!

That's not it either...

Included as part of event admission, is a ticket to the Spring ACE event that will be held at Silver Dollar City and will include ERT on the new Outlaw Run!

We also have a special room block for $59.99 a night at the Branson Towers Hotel for those attending Coaster Christmas.

If you are interested you can find more information about the event at the ACE Heart of America Regional website at: http://www.ace18.org/coasterchristmas

Please be advised that you MUST be an ACE member or a guest of an ACE member to attend this event. Again more information ACE can be found here: http://www.aceonline.org/JoinACE/

If you have any questions either reply, or e-mail me and I will get back as soon as I can.

Thanks everyone.

Also to the administrators, I apologize if promoting the event is against forum posting rules.  I am thinking because this is a SDC event, for one really GOOD price, that SDC fans might be interested.  Please remove if it is.


Thanks again!
