Post Convention Events June 25th, 2022                                                                                       

As a finale to Coaster Con 44, which concludes at Kennywood on June 24, ACE Western Pennsylvania invites you to attend one or both of two post- Convention events taking place on Saturday, June 25.

ACE Goes IdleWILD at Idlewild and SoakZone, an amazing family-oriented park in a lush wooded setting, will include morning ERT on Rollo Coaster (a fun hillside junior wooden coaster), Wild Mouse (a unique and exceptional version of the ride set among the park's trees), Flying ACEs (flying skooters), Adult Hand Cars (Remember riding little hand-powered cars on tracks at parks as a kid? This one is adult-size!) and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood (based on the values of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood), followed by an all-you-can-eat picnic lunch. Expect other surprises as well!

Later in the day, Allegheny Mountain Madness will take place at DelGrosso's Park in Tipton, Pennsylvania, less than 90 minutes from Idlewild and SoakZone, where attendees can enjoy two coaster credits -- a spinning Crazy Mouse and a kiddie coaster, as well as a lot of classic rides, an amazing waterpark themed to Italy. DelGrosso's is known to have some of the best park food in the country, so an evening dinner will include their flagship spaghetti and Murf's famous potato salad -- an unusual, yet winning combination! We hope to be able to incorporate Lakemont Park into the event as well. Attendees will be able to register for both ACE Goes IdleWild and Allegheny Mountain Madness at the same time. Check back here for links to more information, which should be available very soon!
