Some people really like to bash ACE. I don't. I respect them and really enjoy seeing these plaques at various parks and historical coasters. If you're a member of any coaster club, show some love to your club in the comments below!

Leap the Dips was closed on July 2, 2016. I understand it finally reopened on July 13th and had been running the remainder of the season until Lakemont closed for "renovations" in 2017 and 2018. It is expected to reopen with the park in 2019.
