Hey TPR Fanatics! My name is Ronnie Forster and I'm the President of the newly founded Cornell Theme Park Engineering Group (TPEG). Our group has created a new competition for all of those college aged theme park lovers that want to find a parallel between what they're learning and what they're interested in.
The competition is a purely virtual competition taking place the duration of the month of January. Teams of 2-4 student will be asked to create a 5 year plan for a new theme park based on a given plot of land. They will be judged on ride design, financial feasibility, how cohesive and innovative their ideas are, and how well they sell their idea to the intended demographic. Our judges range from the experienced coaster enthusiasts to professionals in the themed entertainment industry and will include TPR's own Robb Alvey.
If you are interested in participating in this competition or want more information feel free to contact me at rjf257@cornell.edu or sign up at http://www.cornelltpeg.co.nr under TPEC 2015 tab. I look forward to seeing a good TPR turnout! Get ready for the ride!
