ACE is returning to Southern California for Coaster Con 42. The convention starts on Sunday, June 16, and runs through Thursday, June 20, at Six Flags Magic Mountain (Valencia, California) and Knott’s Berry Farm (Buena Park, California).
ACE members start off the week with three days at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Opened in May 1971, the park featured and still operates the family-friendly Magic Flyer and the classic Arrow mine train, Gold Rusher. In 1976, the iconic Schwarzkopf-designed Revolution sent riders through a vertical loop for the first time and still thrills riders to this day. Overall, the park features 19 roller coasters of all shapes and sizes. Be sure not to miss coaster enthusiast favorites like the 1988 Arrow looping giant Viper, the dizzying heights of Superman: Escape from Krypton, the pulse-pounding drops of Goliath and the thrilling enigma of Riddler’s Revenge. Soar through the sky on Tatsu, the dark knight’s own Batman The Ride and the unique experience of X2. New for the 2019 season is West Coast Racers, a thrilling racing steel coaster from Premier Rides that is currently under construction. The park also features a merry-go-round by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, Inc. (PTC #21), which dates back to 1912; a classic Arrow log flume, Jet Stream; a 400-foot free-fall drop ride, Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom; the Justice League: Battle for Metropolis interactive 4-D dark ride; and the new-for-2018 Zamperla Giga Discovery pendulum ride, CraZanity.
The final two days will be at Knott’s Berry Farm. The park traces its history back to the 1920s when the Knott family first arrived in Buena Park, California, and started a berry farm. The family originally sold fresh berries, berry preserves and pies at a roadside stand along State Route 39. By 1940, Walter Knott created a replica Ghost Town and then in the 1950s started a “summer-long county fair.” The first roller coaster was built in 1975 with Corkscrew, which was the first ever roller coaster to feature a corkscrew ride element, followed by the 1976 steeplechase-style Cycle Chase (later named Wacky Soap Box Racers), new ACE Roller Coaster Landmark Montezooma’s Revenge in 1978 and the family-friendly Timberline Twister in 1983. Today, the park includes modern coaster classics like the Intamin-designed Xcelerator, the inverted thrills of Silver Bullet, the recently refurbished wooden GhostRider, the family-friendly Sierra Sidewinder and Pony Express and the hairpin turns of Coast Rider. In 2018, the park debuted the widely successful HangTime, a compact Infinity dive coaster from Gerstlauer. Also popular at the park are the world-famous Mrs. Knott’s chicken dinner, Calico Mine Ride mine train and dark ride, an authentic three-foot narrow-gauge train ride, one of the world’s oldest operating Dentzel carousels and a 4-D interactive dark ride named Voyage to the Iron Reef.
