In term 2 Room 16 designed and built our very own Disney Rollercoasters. To create our Rollercoasters we brought in junk materials from home. So we started with designing our own Disney themed rollercoaster on paper. Then we picked the best one from the table or you could join some ideas together. Then we had to use our junk materials to make them, it was really fun and challenging because we didn’t with some things. We got fake £1000 to buy more materials like paint, lolly pop sticks, scissors, paper, card, tape and straws.
Leila’s group rollercoaster
My group made a Rapunzel themed rollercoaster which was very hard to build but I had an amazing time building it with all of my other teammates. At first we were very stuck with ideas on how to build it but later on the ideas started to flow in and I was very relieved and ecstatic to start building our very own Disney rollercoaster. Our ride was very thrilling but because I love rollercoasters, I would definitely go on it myself. Our ride started with going up Rapunzel’s tower in your cart where loads of joyful songs played along the way. You then went out the tower and the ride (which we called the Rapunzel express) began.
First there was a big drop and then a sharp turn to a big swirl then a loop. Next it was under the bridge to get sprayed with water then up into a massive cushion and the ride was finished. I had an amazing time building the Rapunzel express and I would love to be able to build a group rollercoaster another time.
Ellie’s group rollercoaster
It all began with us planning our own quirky individual rides, then as a group we decided to do a mix of all our rides to keep everyone happy. I felt proud of myself because I got a bit of my ride in our 3-D model.
Our Disney themed rollercoaster included these themes:
Finding Nemo (which was my idea) Frozen, Marvel and The Jungle Book. Our ride started with the theme the Jungle Book it up a steep long hill straight into Frozen (which snowed all the way through it) whilst let it go played the whole way through Frozen. We then went down a quick drop in to my theme Finding Nemo, our cart rapidly turned into a submarine and submerged into the dark peaceful water while watching the fish go calmly by you then popped up and and went sped round the ride another time. While you were going around the ride marvel was in the middle of the ride with planets everywhere (well they were really just bouncy balls.
