This class will give you exactly fifty minutes worth of roller coaster information in an extremely fast lecture. It'll be super cool. You'll learn all of the ups and downs of roller coasters (see what I did there), and have all of your questions answered by the rather knowledgeable instructor. Some kid at Splash last year- "This class was fun!" Some other kid at Splash last year - "This was the best class I took such a good usage of my time resources!" So come on down, learn some learns, and then go impress your parents with many a fact about roller coasters!
