	What's your story?	1	M. Carter	Matthew - This is a great question. And I am so glad you love being in ACE. I have loved my 20 years in this outstanding organization!While I always loved kiddie coasters, I was petrified of bigger coasters until I was a teen. On a family vacation to see my grandparents in Pittsburgh and visit Kennywood, my mom pointed out the Racer was just about 10 feet taller than the (Little) Dipper and she would ride with me. After a while and conflicted thoughts, I said OK, and we rode for two full hours! Then she said the Jack Rabbit was just about 10 feet taller than the Racer. I said I could ride that one by myself, so she went on to try to find a family member to ride the Thunderbolt (which was just deemed best coaster in the world by the New York Times). I spent the next 4 hours bouncing between Jack Rabbit & Racer. When we were leaving (early - because my dad hated/hates amusement parks), I was jabbering about Jack Rabbit & Racer and my mom said, "It's too bad you didn't decide to ride Thunderbolt." Before I could open catch my breath, my dad said, "No, we are going home." However, my grandfather (who got my mom riding coasters when she was 6, and who never contradicted my mom or dad) said, "Gene, let Davey ride." Before my dad could say a word, my mom was pulling me by the arm (almost running) to get to the Thunderbolt. After our 1 ride, I was floating 2 feet off the ground all the way back to the car.The following day was the start of our 1,200-mile/2-day drive back home to Texas, and I talked a million miles per hour about Thunderbolt, Jack Rabbit, & Racer the entire ride home. Most will say, I never stopped talking about coasters.Thanks for the cool question (I hope others chime in)!-- David Lipnicky (ACE Public Relations Director) by D. Lipnicky Monday, February 11, 2013
	Coaster Con T-Shirts	7	K. Wintemute	K. Wintemute said:I just checked this out on Coastercon.com: AWESOME!! This was exactly what I was talking about! Please thank Jeff and any others who made this happen. I'm glad you like it, and thanks for suggesting such a great idea — I hadn't thought about putting the logo/T-Shirt winners on the site. We always appreciate input from fellow members, so if anyone has other ideas for the RCReride and CoasterCon websites or RollerCoaster! magazine, please let us know. by J.

	Interest in ACE trip to England?	2	Jim Black	I think we are definitely overdue for a tour of Great Britain. The last time ACE was there was during the ECO trip in 2002 — a decade ago. by J. Seifert Sunday, September 23, 2012
