    What a great day yesterday visiting a gem of a park in Northern Michigan!

    For those of you that attended, what was your highlight?

    For me it was of course meeting and getting to all who attended better, but I also really enjoyed all the retro rides. Kiddie Coaster had surprising ejector airtime and Black Widow was beautifully restored!

    Best part for me was getting to share that park with our members and see all the care and work that Joe and his team put into that place. It's not every day you see the person in charge of the place selling tickets and operating rides all day and still finding time to greet and talk to each person that comes through the gates.

    It really is such a unique operation and one that perfectly aligns with ACE's mission.

    What a wonderful day spending time with fellow ACE members. Making new friends, extending friendships and making new memories.

    What a great day it was! The big parks keep you busy, which is great... But parks like these entertain and give some classic rides to enjoy, but they also provide a wonderful, relaxing environment where relationship can truly deepen and flourish. It's a shame there's not more of them!

    Highlight was just getting to hang out with ACErs.  Did you end up riding the Roll-o-Plane?  Verdict?

    My daughter and I loved every minute, couldn't stop laughing.

    It was a riot!
