We had to make a safe, but thrilling, roller coaster for Six Flags Great Adventure. We had to sell the idea to the top engineers. We made a roller coaster that was safe, and fun at the same time. We put toilet paper rolls over the track so the marble won’t fall out. We also put toilet paper rolls where there’s a possibility for the marble to come flying out. We added a loop and a sharp turn, which ends with tape slowing the marble down to a complete stop at the end. Our prototype was successful because the marble made it to the end. All we had to add was toilet paper rolls in places where it would fall out, and put the sharp turn under the meter stick instead of over it. We made the ending slower so the marble doesn’t crash into the cup. This
Some of the modifications that we made to our rollercoaster is a tunnel. When we would test out the ride, it would fall off of the track. So we put a paper tunnel so the ball can stay on the track.
Besides all the bad things about it, the park does have its good things. Six flags has a variety of places and activities families can do. The park has Thrill rides for adults and kids, water parks, themes areas, concerts and shows, restaurants, game venues and retail outlets (Six Flags). Families can have a good time visiting each of those areas. The park has more than 100 rides (Six Flags) where kids, adults, and families together can enjoy. The type of rides that six flag has are very exciting and fun to ride. They give you a great experience. The more popular rides tend to have longer lines so it would be advised to visit those rides as soon as the park opens (Six Flags).
The Junior Civitans Club is a community service organization that I have been a member of throughout my high school career. I participated in three Relay for Life walks for life, and helped to raise hundreds of dollars for the Relay for Life cancer research campaign. In my Sophomore and Junior years, I was elected to be on the Leadership committee as a Representative and later a Secretary. This year, I was elected President of the club and preside over all meetings and service projects. The Greenwood High School chapter of Junior Civitans “adopted” a girl’s cottage at the Connie Maxwell Children’s Home this school year. The Connie Maxwell Children’s home provides residential children’s ministry to abused, abandoned, and neglected children.
It was always a joy for the trail crew to call in the mules and horses early in the morning from the lush, Leprechaun-green government pasture down in Red’s Meadow on a sweet, warm summer’s day. The animals really loved it too, as they munched on mush from feed bags tied around their necks. They would get so frisky and spunky from feeling their oats that they would deposit road apples in the corral. This was soon stomped into the dirt and completely overwhelmed the fresh, fragrant smell of flowers, meadow and forest.
During the summer before my Freshman year I went to hell and back, and by hell I mean Philmont scout ranch. Just a little background, Philmont scout ranch is 140,117 thousand acres of big rugged, dry, mountainous terrain. I knew what I was getting into, Ever since I joined boy scouts Philmont was regarded as the ultimate scouting experience, so of course i was pressured into that. Eventually summer rolled around and before I knew it I was on a train to New Mexico.
It was the summer of 2015, and this was an usual summer; hot and humid. Me being a college student at Emory University and working at Six Flags I was always busy. Today was one of those days. I have to clock in at Six Flags at 6:00 pm, and then be on time for finals at 8:00 pm.

Chirp! That is a sound often heard in the wilderness, while camping. This outdoor activity is enjoyable for many reasons.
My family and I traveled to Six Flags this summer for a family vacation. Six Flags is located outside of Atlanta,Georgia. While traveling to Six Flags we stopped at the Birmingham Zoo. when going down the Goliath,I panicked and started to scream.We rode another roller coaster and my fear became more magnified. We also rode the bumper cars and my brother ran into me. We didn't want to spend our summer patrolling the neighborhood on our scooters. We also went because we didn't work interfering with our family time. We wanted to go somewhere fun and exciting. While dinning at our vacation this summer we saw a chef chopping vegtables. The weekend we went to Six Flags qualified as a vacation.On our trip to Six Flags my brother interfered with
I don’t ever want to forget the day we went to Six Flags. In the morning I woke up my parents at 9:00 in the morning so we can get there early and get tickets. Next, I ask my friend if he can come and he said “Sure I’ll come”. So, when my friend was ready to go we left to Six Flags Great Adventure. In addition, when we got there we started off with the games. My friend and I were versing each other on different games. We also went into the haunted house. When we got bored we went on the roller coaster. We went on Superman, Green Lantern, and the Joker, and the most coolest part the Ferris Wheel! After that, we took a break and got back to the rides. Later, when we were tired out, we went home.
As I get out of the car, I hear a girl screaming in the distance. Hearing such a noise instantly made me feel a chill go down my spine. As I walk against my own fear, I approach an overwhelming sign that says “Welcome to Six Flags over Texas”. My mother looks at me with a huge smile, reassuring me that there is nothing to be afraid of. Being only 8 years old at the time, I was a very hyper and ecstatic kid. Going against my own fears, I timidly rushed to the entrance. As I stood there before this monstrosity of amusement, my jaw was on the floor with astonishment. Leaving me in a state of shock,I could only slowly walk in with aw, and marvel at what was before me.
I was standing in line with my sister and cousin waiting to get on the “Viper”. We were at Six Flags having already been in the long line an hour and a half. We all went on our favorite rides, then we decided to go on the roller-coaster. This was going to be my very first ever roller-coaster in my life. Then the roller coaster conductor told us to get on the coaster. I jumped in, put my seatbelt on and listened to the safety precautions. Then the conductor pressed the button and we were off.
As an 8-year-old child, the worlds scary place. Everywhere you look there’s something terrifying. From people the size of giants, roaming the streets, with no care what so ever with their surroundings or just realizing that in a few years would come the most difficult and emotionally unstable time of my life. Sure, those things may be slightly exaggerated, but what I do know is the most horrendous experience I had in the land of joy that ultimately ruined my love Disney for many years.
My stepmother, my father, their grandchild, and I took a family vacation to Busch Gardens. Upon leaving time, we packed for the stay in Richmond, VA. My father got the truck ready, Karen, my stepmother, brought a pillow with a purple cup full of ice. The grandchild got together her toys and was just as happy as she could be at 6:30 A.M. in the morning. I, on the other hand, was beyond ready to jump right back into bed and sleep for another year because I could’ve probably have done it that hot day.
At Phillips Summer Camp this summer, our Boy Scout Troop 24 were very disappointed in the camps food. Day after day the food would be bad or there would not be enough for all of us. One night for dinner we had a meatball sub and they told us it was going to be like Sub Way well it was nothing like it, and our Junior Assistant Scoutmaster became enraged how bad the food was. He wanted to talk…
