Coaster Quest
Any Public Operating Day
If Sir Isaac Newton were alive today, we’re pretty sure he would sign off on a physics class field trip to Dorney Park. As a renowned scientist credited with many physics principles we follow today, he would know that an innovative – and totally fun – way to demonstrate the science that deals with matter, energy, motion and force is a modern-day roller coaster. We sure have plenty of those at Dorney Park, so bring your students to participate in our specially designed Coaster Quest educational activities.
We’ve collaborated with Kutztown University to develop downloadable do-it-yourself workbooks that can be used on any Park public operating day.
Experiencing the laws physics firsthand while having a blast can certainly work up an appetite, so add a catered meal to your Coaster Quest Day to make it complete.
