You can learn more about rotations by visiting this website. * What other objects have rotational movement? * Discuss rotational movement of the earth, planets, moons, tires, etc. * How do you think the speed of these objects is calculated?

  • In a Dozen Plans, Ideas for Restoring the Thrill to a Westchester Amusement Park
    In a Dozen Plans, Ideas for Restoring the Thrill to a Westchester Amusement Park By LISA W. FODERARO March 27, 2012 A proposal to revive Playland, which is losing visitors and millions of dollars a year, could be chosen by the end of the summer. RYE, N.Y. — Would Playland still be Playland without rides? With expansive water views and Art Deco architecture, Rye Playland — the 1920s-era amusement park owned by Westchester County — has offered generations of children in the area their initial taste of cotton candy and first spin on the scream-inducing Dragon Coaster. But amid competition and shrinking budgets, Playland has been less than thrilling for the county, losing millions of dollars a year as its popularity steadily declines. Now the Westchester County executive, Rob Astorino, wants to reimagine the amusement park. In 2010, he invited prospective entrepreneurs to think creatively about recasting 100 acres, which includes 50 rides, an ice rink, a swimming pool, a boardwalk, a beach and an artificial lake, all perched on the edge of Long Island Sound in this affluent community. Mr. Astorino, who came to Playland as a boy and now brings his own children here, invited developers to do away with the amusement park entirely, if they chose, or to expand it. The only stipulations: public access to the beach and the boardwalk had to be maintained, and housing was off limits. “What can we do to reinvent Playland for the 21st century?” asked Mr. Astorino, a Republican, who vowed to address the Playland problem when he ran for county executive in 2009.

  • Intangible Heritage(S): an Interplay of Design, Social and Cultural Critiques of the Built Environment
    TANGIBLE - INTANGIBLE HERITAGE(S): AN INTERPLAY OF DESIGN, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CRITIQUES OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT • Paper / Proposal Title: Dark Rides : Immersive media and cultural trauma • Author(s) Name: Joel Zika • University or Company Affiliation: Deakin University • Presentation Method. I would like to: present in person (with a written paper) • Abstract (300 words): Dark rides are an entertainment format that originated in the United States in the early 20th century. Ghost Train, Haunted Mill and Spooky Castle rides populated amusement parks across the world. Throughout the 1930s and 1960s the dark ride was an established part of the media landscape but has largely disappeared today. One of the unique properties of the dark ride experience is its role in recording and dramatizing sociocultural change. In the 1910s Pittsburgh’s once thriving milling industry had disappeared and was represented by abandoned mills scattered across the horizon. In the ensuing decades the Old Mill Ride became a popular dark ride theme, rides were styled as abandoned buildings using a mill format to ferry passengers through the space. Examples of this simulacrum of forgotten industry still stand today at the historic Kennywood and Knoebels (without apostrophe) amusement parks. The ride experience outliving the industry itself, melding classic haunted attraction with an immersive museological experience. Joel Zika will discuss the role that darkened electric rides have played in creating lasting records of lost industries and social fears throughout the 20th century. Joel will discuss his field work and the multitude of connections between shared cultural history and the thematic space of the amusement park.
