Amusement Park Physics Amusement Park Physics and the new Secondary School Curriculum In the past 18 months, the educational system has seen a shift in the science curriculum and changes to how that curriculum is delivered. The current curriculum is more inquiry based with a focus on questioning, predicting, communication, planning and conducting investigations. In addition, students are asked to analyse not only the data they collect, but also the process that was used to collect the data. The curriculum for Science 8 has changed. Although forces are not directly in the current Grade 8 curriculum, inquiry and investigation are at the forefront. Amusement Park Physics can now be applied to any number of classes as they all include an inquiry / investigative component. Teachers are able to adapt or enhance the curriculum packages currently supplied by Amusement Park Physics as they see fit. This gives you, as an educator, tremendous flexibility in terms of how you and your class spend your time at Playland. You could focus on one ride and do an in-depth study or perhaps investigate similar rides and compare them.

The general objective is to determine what is being communicated through these expressive forms, to whom, how, and finally to suggest why it is being communicated. The extent to which the encoded messages are consistent with reports of the subculture's goals is then discussed. It is asserted that hip hop operates as an alternative identity management and problem-solving mechanism within the black American ghetto.

  • Gangster Boogie: Los Angeles and the Rise of Gangsta Rap, 1965-1992
    Gangster Boogie: Los Angeles and the Rise of Gangsta Rap, 1965-1992 By Felicia Angeja Viator A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Leon F. Litwack, Co-Chair Professor Waldo E. Martin, Jr., Co-Chair Professor Scott Saul Fall 2012 Abstract Gangster Boogie: Los Angeles and the Rise of Gangsta Rap, 1965-1992 by Felicia Angeja Viator Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Leon F. Litwack, Co-Chair Professor Waldo E. Martin, Jr., Co-Chair “Gangster Boogie” details the early development of hip-hop music in Los Angeles, a city that, in the 1980s, the international press labeled the “murder capital of the U.S.” The rap music most associated with the region, coined “gangsta rap,” has been regarded by scholars, cultural critics, and audiences alike as a tabloid distortion of East Coast hip-hop. The dissertation shows that this uniquely provocative genre of hip-hop was forged by Los Angeles area youth as a tool for challenging civic authorities, asserting regional pride, and exploiting the nation’s growing fascination with the ghetto underworld. Those who fashioned themselves “gangsta rappers” harnessed what was markedly difficult about life in black Los Angeles from the early 1970s through the Reagan Era––rising unemployment, project living, crime, violence, drugs, gangs, and the ever-increasing problem of police harassment––to create what would become the benchmark for contemporary hip-hop music. My central argument is that this music, because of the social, political, and economic circumstances from which it emerged, became a vehicle for underclass empowerment during the Reagan Era.

  • Playland Adventure
    PLAYLAND ADVENTURE Your class is going on a field trip to Playland this spring. Before you go, your teacher has asked you to design two or three different theme packages. Each theme package will be made up of different rides that will appeal to a variety of students. Each student in the class will choose one of these theme packages for the field trip, so make them enjoyable for the variety of students that are in your class. Your class will arrive at the gates at 11:00 am, and will return to the buses at 2:00 pm. You need to determine which rides are in each package, as well as the order in which the rides will be taken. You have a maximum of 50 tickets to use in each ride combo. When you are designing the theme packages, you should consider the following: ride location (use the map) cost of each ride in tickets duration of both the ride and the line-up transition time between rides (minimum of 1 minute to a maximum of 5 minutes) – make reasonable estimates other things you may have to budget time for the total time on the field trip You will be asked to explain your reasoning for how you selected the various rides for each theme package, as well as which package you would choose for yourself. Cost of Ride Ride Duration Line-up Ride Name in Tickets (minutes) Duration 1. Hell’s Gate 5 3 10 2. Revelation 20 5 10 3. Corkscrew 7 1 20 4. Drop Zone 20 5 10 5.

An additional aim was to provide a benchmark of behaviour incidence levels, with the expectation of making a comparison study in a number years time to identify any changing trends in behaviour. The field study was designed in order to cover a wide range of different ride types under a wide and representative range of conditions as follows: I Various types of venue; Theme Park, Travelling Fair (Park, Street or Indoor), Pleasure Beach, Music Festival. I Varied times of year; visits were made throughout the main 2003 season. Some early visits were also made in late 2002 and during the 2002/2003 holiday period.

Trevor Nelson ii Abstract Impact of Virtual and Augmented Reality on Theme Parks Master of Digital Media, 2016 Trevor, Nelson Master of Digital Media, Ryerson University Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), provide immersive experiences that are increasingly considered for implementation within Theme Parks. This paper seeks to determine the impact of virtual technologies on the Theme Parks. The method for this paper involved interviews with industry leading experts from the Theme Park industry. The interviews were structured to determine more detailed information on how they are approaching VR/AR in Theme Park attractions. Theme Parks need to provide guests with something they can’t get at home. There are many challenges with head mounted displays (HMD) in Theme Parks, as a result, several participants pointed to Mixed Reality (MR) as a better current solution.

In den 1970er Jahren kaufte der Schausteller das Grundstück des ehemaligen Wildparks Heidenhof, um wenig später seinen Traum vom Freizeit- und Familienpark zu verwirklichen. Am 19. August 1978 öffneten sich die Tore erstmals für die allerersten Heide Park Besucher. Bereits in dieser Saison zählte der Park 600.000 Gäste, was die Erwartungen von Familie Tiemann weit übertraf. Seither ist der Park ständig im Wandel und wird fast jährlich um neue Attraktionen erweitert. Alles begann 1978 mit sechs Fahrgeschäften (Monzapiste, Heide Park Express, Oldtimer- Rundkurs, Floßfahrt, Wichtelhausenbahn, Hochbahn).
