SCHEDULE ADVISORY
Please be aware that activities in this schedule may be subject to change owing to circumstances beyond the control of ACE or our host parks. These include, but are not limited to, inclement weather or circumstances that may affect ride availability and safe operation, equipment problems or availability of facilities for planned activities. The parks will make every effort to adhere to the posted schedule, with all rides open as scheduled, and to inform ACE and attendees of any necessary changes.
COVID-19 UPDATE
The greatest concern of American Coaster Enthusiasts is the health, safety and enjoyment of its members. To ensure continued safety, ACE is closely monitoring the ever-evolving (and rapidly improving) COVID-19 situation. As a result, we ask that you respect the wishes of ACE and the park.
Please follow and respect all safety procedures instituted by Knoebels, our host for the event.
We realize that many of you attending may be seeing some of your ACE friends for the first time in quite a while. We know that you'll be happy to see one another, but given health concerns, we suggest that you follow common protocols for health safety. Not everyone is fully vaccinated and everyone has different comfort levels in terms of being in close proximity to others. Please be respectful of other members and allow a safe distance between one another, unless it's made clear by all involved that closer proximity is welcomed.
