Rollercoaster magazines?

Hello, I was wondering if there are any acutal magazines out there that publish monthly or bi-monthly rollercoaster or thrill ride information?  I thought there used to be a magazine called American Coaster or something like that.  Does anyone have info where I can subscribe to a magazine yearly?

I am a huge rollercoaster lover.  My goal in life is to travel the world and ride every rollercoaster in the world.  I hear that Millenium at Cedar Point is considered the greatest, and I will be going there next summer to see for myself.  I used to love The Beast, but they tore it down. :o(  I live in the Chicago area and travel to Six Flags as often as I can.  My favorites there is the classic American Eagle which was built 21 years ago, and the Viper, which is new within the last 6 or 7 years.  Well, I will be visiting here frequently, I just found this place from visiting the Cedar Point website.

Just to let you know its called "Millenium Force" and they haven't torn down the Beast, it's at Paramount's Kings Island not Cedar Point.

"Millennium" still has two N's in it.

The Beast is still there.

American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE) and the European Coaster Club both publish good magazines, though chances are you can see most of the same stuff online before it gets to print. Joyrides and CoasterGallery are among the best places to see photos, and a whole cast of sites post news items here when they update their sites.

I couldn't tell if that guy was for real or not. 
Amusement Today puts out a good monthly magazine.  I think the subscription is $35 a year.  There website is Amusement Today

ACE's RC! magazine is great, has good pics, etc.  As Jeff said, all their news/info. is available on-line as well, but it DOES come free with your paid annual membership, and always makes for excellent coffee-table material!  ACE's website is pretty poor in terms of updates, etc., but the magazines (quarterly in color, 4-6 newsletters annually in B/W) are really nice.  (BTW, I think the Beast comment may have been tongue-in-cheek, but I hope it'll be back next year, running as good as ever)!

Great, thanks for the info.  Last night after I posted, I found the aceonline.com website and saw their website, and I also found the Amusement today website.

I meant to say that The Beast was Kings Island (both in Ohio, got confused), but it's been about 15 years or so since I've been there.  I heard they tore it down or were going to, so I'm happy to hear that it's still there!

Hey coaster895, glad to see that one of your favorites is the Viper at Great America (Six Flags), too!  That's definitely one of my favs - great hang time when you're flying off the seat on the hills! Thanks for your help everyone!
