The CEC is a non-profit organization of persons interested in Amusement & Theme Parks, Carnivals, and World's & Other Fairs. We are interested in their construction, history and day-to-day running. The rides are the particular interest of this group, especially roller coasters. We like to know about their manufacturers, construction, and history; plus collect photos, brochures, postcards, books, and videos.
Yearly trips, called "Scare-Me Tours", are planned to Canadian & American cities to visit their parks and ride the best coasters. Numbers of coasters ridden have ranged from 15 to 40. We also see aquarium shows, laser shows, ice shows, live revues, fireworks displays, take jungle safaris, and do other things the modern park offers. On free days, we take in a city's live theater, planetariums, museums, night clubs, and shopping malls.
Our method of transport has been by private plane, as several of our members and acquaintances have pilot's licences. However, trips and tours also occur by car, bus, train, and commercial aircraft. Members in the planned-for cities are contacted and they & their friends are invited to join the core tour group on their escapades.
If you are planning a vacation during the warm months of your intended destination, we can suggest side trips to enhance your time there. Near most major centers are parks that have at least one woodie or looper to quell your coaster urges. Contact us at: * cec@chebucto.org.
