From unique ride systems, home built coasters, to bizarre prototypes, there are many different rides to discover. Along the way we will learn more background about some of these strange rides and how they came about, and watch video and photographs of these fun rides. The class will be a fast paced multimedia lecture format with lots of opportunity to interact and discuss these crazy rides.
