Let’s have a picnic! Come join ACE Eastern Great Lakes on Sunday, September 29th at Stricker’s Grove in Hamilton, OH as we get together for a day filled with rare coaster credits, food, and fun.
Stricker’s Grove is a private, closed to the public, amusement park located northwest of Cincinnati, OH. The park is home to two wooden roller coasters. The Teddy Bear, an ACE Coaster Classic, is a wooden family coaster built using the blueprints of the original Teddy Bear at Coney Island in Cincinnati.
