Picnic at the Grove

Let’s have a picnic! Come join ACE Eastern Great Lakes on Saturday, May 29th at Stricker’s Grove in Hamilton, Ohio, as we get together for a day filled with rare coaster credits, food, and fun.

Stricker’s Grove is a privately owned, closed to the public, amusement park located northwest of Cincinnati, Ohio. The park is home to two wooden roller coasters. The Teddy Bear, an ACE Coaster Classic, is a wooden family coaster built using the blueprints of the original Teddy Bear at Coney Island (Cincinnati, Ohio). The Tornado, the larger of the two wooden coasters, was designed by Al Collins. Al Collins is best known for his work on Kings Island’s (Mason, Ohio) The Beast.
