Got the official notice today.  For the first time in over 40 years American Coaster Enthusiasts Coaster Con will opt to hold a “virtual” Con.  No traveling, no physical parks, no physical rides, rather virtual meetings and special online coaster “events.”

Con is always a highlight of my summer.  I was really excited for this years, but I guess good things come to those that wait.

Sigh

Where was this years event supposed to take place?

This year was basically Eastern Pennsylvania, Hersheypark, Dorney, Knoebels.

Next year was supposed to be Cedar Point, and it sounds like they are pushing this year to next year so I guess Cedar Point is now 2022.

I am bummed about this too. It was to be my first time attending Coaster Con. I have enjoyed the shorter weekend national events the past couple years and was looking forward to the full week experience. Not to mention all but Hershey are new to me.

Here's to 2021...and something positive and park-related in summer 2020.
