Co-host Jessica Gardner chatted with Adam Napotnik, ACE Facebook Coordinator about recent events and what the Facebook team does to keep ACE members in the loop about new coasters and upcoming events. Adam walks us through the last few years of CoasterBash! and explains how the annual event finally returned to the pre-Covid format at Salvatore’s. Adam walked us through the full experience, stay tuned for lots of great details about the event.

The Great Nor’Easter is another off-season event that Adam attended at the Carousel Museum in Bristol, CT. This preservation-focused event included presentations about the the museum’s work to restore carousel horses, a photo contest, tours of the facility and of course, the event included a food component!

Moving on, we cover the myriad of upcoming ACE events that herald the start of the summer coaster enthusiast season.
