No worries. Since I was late joining this board and getting more involved, I expected that I wouldn't be able to do much next year. I look forward to doing as much as possible next year, though!

We will get a chance to hit the park one day in October (already have it on the schedule) when we go and get our 2011 season passes. Thank you to Carowinds for giving us one day at the park this season when we buy next year's season passes!

I wish I could go but I don't have the money for an ACE membership. When I'm older and have a job I'll probably sign up for ACE. I'm going to the park on Saturday though, and maybe I'll see some of you.

You could have just signed up as a "guest" for a few bucks more. (It is of course too late now) The season pass guest price with the online convenience charge was only around 21 dollars.

I meant to the ACE event for ERT, not at the park the entire day.... And I am just going by what the e-mail confirmation says...

Thank you for registering for the ACE Southeast "Carolina Coaster Classic" to be held on Saturday, September 11, at Carowinds in Charlotte, NC.
This is your confirmation that we have received your registration materials and are ready for you to join us for a fantastic day at the park.
Check in will begin at the park's North Gate starting at 8:30 AM. If you took advantage of the Season Pass discount when you registered be sure to bring your current Carowinds or eligible Cedar Fair pass to the park as it will be used for your admission.
Don't forget; BYFL (bring your favorite lanyard). While we will have complimentary (free) lanyards at the gate make a fashion statement with your own by bringing one from home or recycling one from a past event.
Our schedule for the day is as follows
9:00 AM ERT on Afterburn, Thunder Road, Woodstock Gliders and Lucy's Crabby Taxie
10:00 AM ERT ends, Group Photo at Carolina Cyclone (repainted this year)
10:00 AM Carowinds opens to the public and you
11:30 AM Lunch at the Southside Pavilion B (behind Afterburn)
Q&A session with Bart & Jerry
Scavenger Hunt sheets distributed
Walk back raffle ($1/ticket); money goes to ACE Preservation Fund
1:00 PM Lunch ends
3:30 PM Raffle winners and a guest enjoy an exclusive private walk back tour of Intimidator
5:00 PM Scavenger Hunt answer sheet collection deadline (location announced at lunch)
7:00 PM Attendees meet in the Carowinds Theater for announcements, scavenger hunt results and winners, and Match Game!
8:00 PM Carowinds closes to the public. When possible, ERT begins on Intimidator (1 hour)
While Carowinds will endeavor to provide ride times and the rides listed, inclement weather, equipment problems or other unforeseen circumstances may affect this schedule. Your registration is a non-refundable fee, and all registrations are final. Admission to the park (unless a Season Pass Discount has been used for admission), lunch and ERT sessions are included in your registration fee. The payment of registration fees by, for or on behalf of participants releases and holds harmless the American Coaster Enthusiasts, Inc., and its Officers, Directors, Executive Committee Members and representatives from any and all liabilities related to those activities. Members of ACE are expected to abide by the club's code of conduct at all times during the event, and members are also responsible for the conduct of non-member guests. During the event's private ERT sessions lose articles may be left on station platforms, however standard operating procedures during the day require that loose articles be stowed in lockers or left with a non-riding guest.
Thank you for registering for this event. At this time we have 79 attendees. I know we will have a great day at the park!
Sincerely,

Robert Ulrich
ACE Southeast
Assistant Regional Representative - Registrations
