Coasting to the Future!

Everyone needs a fun place to take a break and get away from it all. For some of us, this means relaxing in a beautiful setting, for others, that means adventurous rides and roller coasters! Communities will always need leisure spaces for people to get away, and this means amusement parks! Join us and learn not just the history and science behind the great and terrible parks of the past and their rides from the celebrated to the notorious, but how to create your own wonderful places to escape and dream. We'll design merchandise for our dream parks, too, practice fundraising and creating authentic park food while we learn the ins and outs of the park business, and if all goes well, who knows, perhaps we might get there for real!
READING REQUIREMENT. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR STUDENTS WHO DO NOT ENJOY HISTORY, SCIENCE AND COMPUTER GAMES.
