Transformers ROLL Out Students learn about the engineering principles of the Six Degrees of Freedom and apply that knowledge to a hands-on analysis of TRANSFORMERS: The Ride – 3D. Students then use their new skills to reconstruct the ride vehicle’s motion sequences.

Mummy Dig-Site Detective Students learn a heart-pounding lesson in physics that teaches just what makes roller coasters like Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit so thrilling. In small groups, students use data they gathered to create a visual representation of the ride’s transfer of energy for a more cohesive understanding of physics principles.

Jurassic Paleobotany Students become paleobotanists in Jurassic Paleobotany, searching Jurassic Park™ for foliage from the era of the dinosaurs and comparing their findings to fossils to make identifications. Working in groups, students use tablets to photograph plants and plot their locations on a map of the area, experiencing the rush of scientific discovery in the process.

Kongtrol Panel Bring students face-to-face with a sophisticated positioning system that controls an independently navigated ride vehicle through the rough, unpredictable terrain of Skull Island. By programming the ride vehicle commands to avoid collisions, students gain a hands-on understanding of how engineering principles translate into ride success.
