About ACE
American Coaster Enthusiasts is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the appreciation, enjoyment and preservation of roller coasters and amusement parks. Founded in 1978, ACE has grown into the world’s largest roller coaster enthusiast organization.
What is ACE South Central?
ACE’s South Central region covers Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana and hosts events throughout the year that bring members and their guests together to share rides, make memories and celebrate the parks and coasters we love.
These include:
- Group events and park outings
- Exclusive Ride Time (ERT) and behind-the-scenes experiences
- Social events and informal meetups
- Opportunities to support preservation and celebrate park history
Some events are small and casual, others are bigger and more structured, but the goal is always the same: get together, ride coasters, support the parks and have a good time.
Membership
Anyone can join American Coaster Enthusiasts. Membership gives you access to events, exclusive experiences and a community of people who share your passion for parks and coasters.

Ride With ACE
At the end of the day, ACE is about the people. The rides are important, but the friendships, shared experiences and memories are what keep members coming back. If you love amusement parks and want to experience them with people who get it, you’re in the right place.
