Originally titled Coaster World, the first issue was published in the winter of 1979. Volume 1, Issue 1 was little more than a newsletter, all of 12 pages in length with a handful of black and white photos. As the magazine continued, the quality improved with Volume 3 (1982) featuring a glossy cover and an increase in size to 38 pages. Volume 4, Issue 1 (1983) featured a full-color cover and glossy interior pages with a professional-looking layout. Beginning with Volume 5 in 1984, the name of the magazine was changed to RollerCoaster!, the title under which it is currently published. Now more than 30 years and over 100 issues later, RollerCoaster! is still going strong. Published four times per year, RollerCoaster! is now in full color and averages 48 pages in length. In-depth articles of parks and coasters of the past and present are highlighted with beautiful photos submitted by ACE members and industry professionals.
ACE began augmenting RollerCoaster!, the club’s printed magazine with articles and photos on this website in 2011 beginning with Issue 116. Select from the issues listed on the left for extra features such as opinions, photo albums and videos.
