If your perfect fall day includes heart-pounding drops, legendary wooden roller coasters, and the laughter of fellow thrill-seekers, then Kings Island is the place to be on Sunday, October 19, 2025.
The American Coaster Enthusiasts Eastern Great Lakes region is hosting ERScream!, an exclusive event for members and their guests that promises a full day of rides, camaraderie, and classic theme park fun.
Since opening in 1972, Kings Island in Mason, Ohio has been a pilgrimage site for roller coaster fans. It’s home to The Beast, the world’s longest wooden coaster, a ride that still reigns as a bucket-list experience more than four decades after its debut. Modern marvels like Orion, one of only a handful of giga coasters on the planet, and Mystic Timbers, a fan-favorite wooden coaster, round out a lineup that effortlessly balances nostalgia with record-breaking thrills. Add to that iconic rides like The Racer—an industry pioneer in its own right—and it’s easy to see why Kings Island continues to capture the imagination of coaster enthusiasts around the world.
ERScream! won’t just be about the rides, though. It’s about the people who ride them. For many members of American Coaster Enthusiasts, these events are reunions as much as they are roller coaster marathons.
The day kicks off with exclusive ride time on The Beast, followed by a Racer ride-a-thon, and later a buffet meal in the park’s Picnic Grove with guest speakers. In between, attendees enjoy the full lineup of Kings Island’s attractions alongside the general public. A group photo caps the experience, but the real memories are made in the laughter, conversations, and shared adrenaline along the way.
Founded in 1978, American Coaster Enthusiasts is the world’s largest coaster enthusiast organization, with more than 7,000 members who share a deep love of amusement parks and the thrills they inspire. ACE events like ERScream! embody that spirit of camaraderie—where strangers quickly become friends, bound by the joy of reliving their first rides and chasing the next great coaster story.
For those who see roller coasters as more than just rides, ACE is more than just a club—it’s a community. And ERScream! at Kings Island is the perfect way to experience it.
