- Rollercoaster!
- is the quarterly magazine of the American Coaster
Enthusiasts and is included with ACE membership. See the section
on ACE above for further info.
- Inside Track
- is a magazine that is worthwhile for new information
on roller coasters and amusement parks in general. It is a
newspaper format, published monthly, and very professionally
done.
Along with news on new coasters, there is info on park closings,
coaster designers and amusement ride innovations, and a section
called APtv (Amusement Park Television) that'll give you info on
videos and feature movies with coasters and parks in them.
Inside Track is highly recommend for those that want to keep tabs
on what's happening in the Amusement Park Industry.

- At the Park
- is published by Yellow Dot Publishing, and is by-and-large
the brainstorm of long-time ACE corporate member Allen
Ambrosini. This is more a journal for the amusement park
industry than for the average coaster enthusiast; however, the
magazine is TOP NOTCH in design and format (contains excellent
4-color photographs of today's top coasters and parks!), with
very well-written articles, and a sensible, enjoyable layout.
You'll learn much more about the industry as a whole. It's a
highly recommended as an addition to ACE News or Inside Track. A
one year subscription (5 issues) costs:
USA: $24.95
Canada and Mexico: $31.95
Outside North America: (Please inquire with publisher)
