Cool fall weather welcomed 52 attendees from five states and the District of Columbia to Celebrate America on Sunday, October 17, at Six Flags America (Upper Marlboro, Maryland).
Following a quick registration to distribute tickets and snack vouchers and a round of attendee bingo, all headed into the park to begin an hour of ERT on Superman: The Ride. However, Superman: The Ride had a different idea and malfunctioned during testing. After a quick group photo, Batwing was ready to offer ERT. Superman: The Ride was ready shortly thereafter, and ERT on both was enjoyed for most of the hour.

A makeup demonstration was an entertaining diversion.

After a few rides and a snack with their snack voucher, attendees gathered for a Fright Fest makeup demonstration. Following that behind-the-scenes look, park management welcomed ACE into the Grand Theatre with a round of heavy snacks (fried cheese sticks, meatballs, mini spring rolls and a taste of the possibly-new-for-2022 pineapple chicken for ChopSix). The entire Six Flags America management team offered attendees insight into upcoming plans for the park, followed by Regional Rep Elizabeth Ringas announcing door prizes. All were invited to stay in the theatre for priority seating for the next show of Aaron Radatz's Magical Entertainer.
The day concluded with an informal takeover time of Wild One to bring everyone together for one last ride and a bit of recognition for this regional treasure.

Attendees appreciated the Six Flags America team for its dedication to produce another exceptional event for ACE.
