Excerpt: The American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE) is an organization dedicated to the enjoyment and preservation of roller coasters. Membership is open to anyone with payment of yearly dues, and membership benefits may include discounted admission to certain amusement parks. ACE members often meet at various parks around the United States and other countries for special events, sometimes sponsored by the parks themselves. History ACE was founded in 1978 by Roy Brashears, Paul Greenwald, and Richard Munch. At the time, it was commonplace for thrill-seekers and prospective Guinness record-breakers to participate in marathons on roller coasters. Such a marathon was arranged in 1977 on Rebel Yell at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia to promote the release of the movie Rollercoaster, starring George Segal, Henry Fonda, Richard Widmark, and a young Helen Hunt. Rebel Yell was an exceedingly appropriate choice, as it was also featured in the film. Three of the participants in this marathon, the aforementioned Greenwald, Brashears, and Munch, discussed what a great idea it would be to form a club for those who have a passion for riding roller coasters. With that, the idea for ACE was born and Coaster Con I (where the group officially became an organization) was held a year later (almost to the day) just down the road at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Side note: Another participant in this landmark marathon was a young man by the name of Mike Boodley. Boodley went on to co-found Great Coasters International, one of very few firms that design and build wooden roller Books, , Roller-Coasters~~Books-Llc, 999999999, Roller Coasters, Books Llc, 1156588901, General Books LLC, , , , , General Books LLC<
