You dont have to be an ACEr to get stapled. Ive gotten stapled a few times and that was before I was an ACEr.

Yesterday I got on Viper, Raging Bull, Demon, American Eagle, Iron Wolf, V2, Batman, Ragin Cajun, Sky Trek Tower, Great American Raceway, and Rue Le Dodge. The weather sucked but it was still a fun day. I like how friendly the employees are now. The Justice League thing was pretty cool. Besides the little changes that have been mentioned there are some others but they probably arent worth mentioning. I was really excited to see that the fold out park maps are back. I think this is going to be a great season.

What your brother saw was likely an Instant Martian from the Marvin the Martian Cartoons


Actually, if you look in Director Guy's Pictures, there is a green bird that i have never seen before.

Nice Report but my computer just had a stroke trying to load this page. Why do we need to blame imageshack? Right on the front page there are image resizers.

Viper was running pretty great, I hope it does again next weekend.

^I did use the auto-resizer and it didnt work.

This weekend I'm definately riding Viper again. The front has SO MUCH airtime and I cant wait to see what the very back is like.

It's easy to hate on the ACErs, especially when they act stupid. They deserve every staple they get, and when at Cedar Point I gave a ton.

Ooh, I like the picture of Iron Wolf with the fog (or whatever it is) around it. Spooky.

You sure Deja Vu's sign is different?

Those are pictures of Instant Martians. They were used last year when they had extra people for parade. I am sure they will see a lot more use this year with the added street characters

Woah... AE looks incredible. It's amazing how good that paint job looks. I think all these little changes will make a big difference. This will be an awesome season!

American Coaster Enthusiast. Basically, a group of nerds who can't get enough coasters and ride them for the sole purpose of increasing their "ride count", and attempt to ride with as little restraint as possible. Oh, and think they are above and beyond other people in line, as well as superior I guess.

Holy Sterotyping Batman!

Because we all ride coasters just for our ride count...
And we all have to be idiots on coasters...
By the way, I'm assuming us being superior to everyone else in line means we stop line jumpers...
I just don't like getting cut.

It's not all of us so let's stop it with the extremism kay?

^Do you know 9 out of 10 ACErs?

I'd figure if you aren't one, don't stereotype one.
