All Levels Workbook THE THRILL SEEKER’S GUIDE TO EDUCATION If you’ve been searching for the fastest, the biggest, and the most enlightening educational experience around, your quest is over! Kentucky Kingdom provides a unique outdoor environment for multidisciplinary educational programs. “Educational?” you ask. How can a theme park replace the classroom? As you loop through the air on T3 or gallop around on the Bella Musica Carousel, you should start to see the patterns. Whether in park operations, the color schemes used, the selection of rides, the location of walkways, and in so many other areas, specific patterns have been developed and used. You and your students will be experiencing those patterns but now, fasten your seatbelt and get ready for an exhilarating “ride” through Kentucky Kingdom. Acknowledgments: Kentucky Kingdom wishes to thank the dedicated teachers and staff of Jefferson County Public Schools who have contributed to our Education in Motion program. Special thanks to Lee Ann Nickerson, Alexis Rich, Dotty Turnbull, and Kristen Wingfeld. © Kentucky Kingdom, LLLP 2016 ALL LEVELS ALL LEVELS USING THE WORKBOOK FOR TEACHERS We are happy to provide you with a guide D.

The faster you go, the To name and describe your observations, you more kinetic energy you have. An object cannot speed up must be able to speak the language of physics. unless it gets energy from something that pushes or pulls it through some distance. Roller coasters get kinetic energy from gravitational potential energy. Try to use each of these words at least twice while riding or watching the rides. A moving object cannot slow down unless its kinetic energy is changed into some other kind of energy. In roller coasters, Acceleration - How fast speed and/or direction change. kinetic energy changes into gravitational potential energy and Action Force - One of the pair of forces described in Newton’s into heat. The total of the kinetic energy and gravitational third law. potential energy in a coaster tends to remain the same. Brakes change kinetic energy into heat. Air Resistance - Force of air pushing against a moving object. Law of Conservation of Energy - The statement that energy Apparent Weightlessness - The feeling of weightlessness cannot be created or destroyed; it may be transformed from that one has when falling toward the earth. (True one form to another, but the total amount of energy never weightlessness, however, requires that an object be far out in changes. space, where gravitational forces are negligible.) Mass - A kind of moving inertia that tends to keep moving Centripetal Force - A push or pull that makes an object move objects going in the same direction. Momentum is the mass of in a curved path. Its direction is toward the center of the object’s a body multiplied by its velocity. Momentum (mass x velocity) curved path. tends to remain the same.

Power - The rate at which work is done, which equals the Free Fall - Motion under the influence of the gravitational force amount of work done divided by the amount of time during only. which the work is done. This is measured in watts. Friction - A force from surrounding material that pushes or Reaction Force - The force that is equal in strength and pulls on objects when you try to move them.

We sit at the sweet spot of broad trends driving the “experience” and “membership” economies, while being insulated from the online threats impacting so many companies. I am very proud of our outstanding team members who overcame unprecedented natural events to deliver our eighth consecutive year of record financial performance in 2017. I am even more excited about our future as we continue to build our lucrative, recurring revenue base. In 2017, Adjusted EBITDA (1) grew two percent, and our Modified EBITDA (1) margin remained the industry high. We returned $727 million to shareholders in the form of stock repurchases and dividends and delivered a 16 percent total return. In addition, we increased our dividend twice since the third quarter 2017 to an annual run-rate of $3.12 per share. This marks our ninth consecutive year of dividend increases and provides a yield more than double the S&P 500, making us the ultimate growth and yield stock. Over the course of 2017, we made notable progress to advance all our five major growth areas: 1) Took pricing up 3-5 percent on all our tickets, while reaching new highs in our value-for-the- money-ratings and achieving the most successful pre-sale

  • The American Dream
    The American Dream America's latest shopping & leisure experience in New Jersey Many years ago so-called "XXL shopping malls" the urban shopping experience in concentrated form spread as a major trend from America to Europe and the rest of the world. The West Edmonton Mall, which opened in Canada in 1981 and was considered the world's largest shopping centre until 2004, set standards for modern shopping facilities early on combined with a wealth of entertainment offerings. The Mall of America in Bloomington/Minnesota (USA, opened in 1992) can also boast superlatives: with more than 40 million visitors annually, it is the world's most visited shopping mall. All these projects have a connection to the Edmonton/Alberta-based project developer Triple Five Group, a company founded by the Ghermezian family in the mid-Sixties and still owned by them. The West Edmonton Mall and the Mall of America were developed and continue to be operated by the Canadian company. The most recent projects of the Triple Five conglomerate include the new American Dream shopping and entertainment centre in the US state of New Jersey, the first section of which was officially opened on 25 October 2019 (see EAP News of 25 October 2019). In 2011 the Triple Five Group took over the retail project in East Rutherford, originally planned under the name "Meadowlands Xanadu", which had been under construction since 2004. The complex is now to be completed in four phases and will subsequently contain hundreds of retail, catering, entertainment and fashion offerings on an area of approximately 279,000 square meters.
