[Other] How do you make Roller Coaster Enthusiast friends?

I've been an enthusiast for a few years. I go to my home park often and travel multiple times a year for coaster trips. I've gone to some ACE events, but it's mostly older dads and kids. I'm 31(F) and I'd love to meet people in their 20's / 30's / 40's. It seems like a lot of the more active social groups are in the northeast, and I'm in Texas.

Have y'all met your coaster friends through ACE? Just visiting the parks often? Discord? I really want to connect with a community I can plan trips with, but I've struggled to find it. Open to all ideas / suggestions!
