Program Description

Event Details

Participants in this hands-on program will act as Theme Park Engineers to design and build a prototype roller coaster for our theme park. Engineers will work in groups of 2-4 to plan and build their coaster. They will need to manage materials and resources, as well as time to build a functioning roller coaster. At the end of the activity, we will give each group of engineers the chance to demonstrate their creation, and we will evaluate the success of each coaster.

Open to children ages 6 and in first grade-age 12. Registration is required. Please call 864-260-4500 ext. 158 to reserve your spot beginning the first of the month!
