I’m not an ACE member and I wasn’t sure about this list, so I looked it up. I’ve been on 13 of the Coaster Classics, and several that have had their status rescinded (in deep shame, no doubt), since my first ride. I’ve also been on both Golden Age coasters listed.
That and a quarter...
Edit to add: I don’t see Knoebel’s Phoenix on either list. Unless I’m missing something, it seems to meet the listed requirements, so I wonder where they went wrong.
Wait... seat dividers?
I'm an ACE member for, gods, going on 40 years. I support ACE's long term efforts at preserving historic coasters.
That said, the Classic and Landmark designations are interesting but, for me, not a major selling point.
For the record, there are no steel Coaster Classics, but there several that have been granted Landmark status.
