Roller Coasters

This webquest is called Roller Coaster Designer. It was written by Mrs. McElwee.

Your task is to research roller coasters and then to come up with an idea for a new coaster. Your amusement park wants to build a new roller coaster, but needs to know what its competition is. It also wants you to examine its existing coasters to see what types of coasters it does not have.

After you examine the competition, you will come up with an idea for a new coaster. You will submit this idea in writing and also with a drawing.

Your teacher will supply you with all your needed paperwork (forms, tables, etc.) Your work is waiting for you!
