Let's calculate how it'll work for me in the 2001 season alone, shall we?
The cost: - $50
The saving:
- Since I would have gone to KennyKon regardless, I save $5 by being an ACE member. (-45)
- Saving $19.99 on PKI's admission. (-25.01)
- Saving $12.45 on HW's admission. (-12.56)
So after the savings, I'm essentially paying $12.56 for a year's worth of ACE News, local newsletters, and two RollerCoaster! magazines.
But don't forget the perks! Had I not been in ACE, I obviously wouldn't have been on the Western PA ACE Region's mailing list, and I wouldn't have been able to go to the X-Flight commercial shoot!
And for being in the shoot, SFWoA gave me two complimentary tickets. Those alone are worth $80!
Looks like ACE actually
made me money! ;)
