Each team of architects will design and build the ultimate roller coaster for Center Grove

North Park. This design must be recorded in the form of a blueprint. This drawing should

include the EXACT elevation of each hill, diameter of the loops, angles of descent, and the length

of the coaster. REMEMBER TO USE THE METRIC SYSTEM! The students must be able to use

their blueprint throughout the construction phase since they will tear down their coaster each

day and rebuild it the next.

As a group, you will build your coaster over three lab periods. It should be finished by

the beginning of Friday’s class! At the end of each period the coaster will be completely

unassembled. Keeping an accurate blueprint is the key to being able to reconstruct your

coaster.

General Rules:

No group may use more than 7 pieces of tubing (full length).

No group may cut tubing without permission.

No group may have more than one tunnel area.
