Before the park closed we all had to stop at the shop for a few Grand
Carnivale souveniers.
Then we were off to Prowler for the most insane, stupid, zany and fun
exclusive ride time that I have ever experienced in my life.
Maybe it was the heat? Maybe it was the humidity? Maybe it
was Prowler running like a bat out of hell, Maybe it was the crew who
were having as much fun as all of us enthusiasts? Maybe it was
twenty seven people spread out among two trains doing a fire drill
switching seats and partners as soon as the train stopped in the
station? Maybe it was the fifteen or so laps on Prowler? You
really can't peg the insanity on any one thing but the fun was
contagious and rapidly accelerating as we sped around the tack and
through the hour.
Massive kudos go out to the Prowler crew. We were excited and
having fun and they were excited and having fun and they really made the
night.
One of the things that I absolutely love about being a coaster
enthusiast is you can take someone like Daniele who had never been to an
event before and came to it all alone. By the end of the day she
was another member of the coaster family and making plans to see us all
at another event. ACE Around the World was her baptism in the
world of being a coaster enthusiast. She is a lifelong Worlds of
Fun junkie who found out about ACE after hearing about the event.
After looking up what ERT was she joined ACE and signed up for the
event. It was great getting to see her realize that we all are
alike and it is so much fun sharing this great hobby together.
After some more pictures, a bunch of high five's, hugs, laughs...
...ACE Around the World came to an end. Don't worry if you were
not one of the lucky 27 who attended because we are already working on
setting the event up for 2022.
Thank you to all of my coaster family who made the day special and
thanks to all of the staff at Worlds of Fun for showing us all such a
great time.
