I'm looking at that issue right now, and those are ACE coaster LANDMARKS.

Didn't Texas Cyclone have some sort of ace recognition at some point?

funny how some CCIs are considered classics...

If they have trains that meet the requirements then they are on the list, regardless of who made them and when. How hard is this to comprehend?

Too damn hard!
