A.J. Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) I did the survey - even though I'm all the way down here in Orlando instead of up at Penn State - with the group - where I should be! Edited March 3, 2011 by A.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChris125x Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Thanks to everyone for helping us out! In just three days we've gotten 800+ responses from around the web. Unfortunately, we'll be capping the survey off at a thousand responses, so if you want to be heard post soon! We appreciate everyone's enthusiasm for the survey and for helping us reach our goal much quicker than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Can you post some information about your group? I did a quick google search and only found references to this survey. Edited March 3, 2011 by Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarner14 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Thanks for all of the responses. They are very important to the success of our design project. ^The reason you were not able to find much information about our group is because, quite frankly, there isn't much. Our group was formed last year, but really just started to move forward this semester. Aside from this design project, we are currently experimenting and performing tests with a Coasterdynamix kit, and are soon going to undertake the task of building a working scale wooden roller coaster model. After each of these projects, we will be writing a substantial report that will be available to view on our website (website coming soon). We were also able to schedule a backstage tour of Kennywood that we hope will open our eyes to the world of theme park engineering more. In addition to the Kennywood tour, we hope that our substantial amount of industry contacts will lead to more tour opportunities and our recognition in the industry. If you have any more questions don't be afraid to ask. I would like to thank everyone once again for providing his or her valuable feedback to our survey. Without you this design project would not be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our group was formed last year, but really just started to move forward this semester. Of course the group decides to move forward when I can't be of any "physical" help...

jbarner14 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 ^AJ, don't you worry. We're going to be needing your inventor skills for fall semester in order to the design project. There will be plenty of things for you to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Dang it, I still have my Penn State acceptance folder (for the 2010 summer LEAP program), kind of makes me regret choosing community college instead Which, due to California's budget problems, is turning 2 years into . . . 4 I've yet to get into the first class of the required 3 semester physics sequence. Sure it saves money, but time is the tradeoff Anyways, good luck with your club. When people get together and put their minds and efforts into things they are passionate about, stuff happens Just as it is with TPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpengeistfan1 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I don't know if you guys would be interested in this, but over on NE there is currently a scale coaster being designed and built as well. Here is the link: http://www.nedesigns.com/topic/21025/my-most-ambitious-project-to-date/ Page 3 is where things start to get interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xChris125x Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 As an update we have begun debriefing the information we gathered from the survey. With TPR's help we were able to get 972 responses, way more than we ever expected. We appreciate your help! To follow our progress more closely you can visit http://www.psuthemeparkengineering.com/, our new official homepage! Thanks again! We hope your input and ideas can help us create the best amusement ride we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
