Who actually gets to ride IJST first?

People who built it.

Easier to answer then I thought.

I would like to hope the ride ops get to ride during training like they did the last two years on TRTR and Delirium, as a R and R during rigorous training.

Usually the 1st riders are crash test dummy's . Then the designers and Park bigwigs then the workers who built it. Then perhaps the crew. Then the highest bidder.

And Acer's too when its Pre-Opening.....i talked to one of my Ace Advisors....there will be a first ride to ACE Members, those who are invited though.

PKI really doesn't give a peference to coaster clubs other than beastbuzz . They may invite the park enthueasts out but just not ace. Even the ACE walkback can be attended by anyone anymore.

Its the enthusiast walkback now.

Correct me if I am wrong, but are you saying anyone can attend the walkback now?

I would love to take a walkback on my trip next week, I just don't want to look like an "bottom" when I am there and they ask for an ACE membership card. Just like the ACE final ride on The Beast last November.

I have never been carded.

What "ACE" final ride? That was just a little thing Jeff put on for the enthusiasts last year.

I know, I remember reading all the info on PKIU before I went down for FearFest last year. I was one of the last public rides on The Beast on the Sunday night, as we left the crowd was organizing just outside The Beast queue area. We were going to wait and go up for another ride, but sensing we had a couple minutes, we left as my girlfriend wanted to pick up a souvinier from the front before the stores closed, so we made a run up to the front and then back. By the time we reached The Beast, the group had already made it's way up. We saw a park asscosiate right by the entranceand asked if we could join, and she then asked for our ACE cards, which we didn't own so we weren't allowed up.

I still remember the posts saying it's not just for ACE members, but for Enthusiasts in general. I just assumed after we were shot down, it was more so worded as Enthusiasts of the ACE term.

IF you got there after the group had gone up and your not a familar face. I am assumung thats why the asked.

Anyone can do the walkback, each and every morning, i have done it 2 times, and so have some other "just regulars" that i know of. People are finally starting to read the small print on the maps i guess
