Harry G. Traver: Legends of Terror
The first of the ACE designer series books, Harry G.Traver: Legends of
Terror was published in 1982. Written by founding member and ACE’s first
president Richard Munch, the book covers Harry Traver’s life, the
company he formed and his legendary machines. Traver’s roller coasters
were known for their fiendishly outlandish twister designs, none of
which exist today.
The book has been out of print for a number of years and has become
quite a collectors’ item. It is no longer available through ACE, but can
occasionally be found listed on eBay.
