Greetings ACE New Jersey members and friends, Save the dates of June 11-12, 2011 as the biggest party in ACE is happening in New Jersey that weekend! We\’ll be celebrating the 15^th anniversary of *Coaster Celebration*, the popular park planned event at *Six* *Flags Great Adventure* featuring ERT on all 5 B&M coasters (the first for any park in the world) including the all new /Green Lantern/ on June 11^th . Then on June 12^th , we\’re taking the party to Seaside Heights, not at Karma or Bamboo with Snooki or The Situation, but at *Casino Pier*! We\’ll be celebrating the 5^th Anniversary of ACE NJ\’s *Seaside Screams* with the biggest and best installment of this thrilling and innovative event. June 11, 2011

This year\’s *Coaster Celebration* event at *Six Flags Great Adventure* is called B&M Bash and for good reason! There is no other park in the world where you can ride FIVE different B&M coasters and certainly no where else can you get this much B&M ERT! Featuring morning ERT on the all new /Green Lantern/ and /Superman: Ultimate Flight/, a rare while-the-park-is-open ERT on /Bizarro/ and the always unforgettable night ERT on /Nitro/ and /Batman The Ride/. You can download the registration flyer here:

We hope to have an event flyer for Seaside Screams posted to ACE NJ\’s and ACE\’s website by the end of the week but in the meantime if you are planning on attending, you can RSVP to Adam Revesz at arevesz@aceonline.org for planning purposes!

And if this is not enough, our friends to the west, Dorney Park in Allentown, PA, will be hosting their annual Coaster Madness event on Friday, June 10^th .
