Year 9 - Water Ride Project

 
Introduction and Scenario
(what the project is about and what you need to do)
Next

 

 In this case study you will design a new water ride for the Rodillian Towers Theme Park. The ride must be water-based and involve some kind of boat or raft. The design of the boat is not important, you should focus on developing a ride with one or more boats moving through a water channel safely and under control. The system could involve a feedback loop.

You need to work out what the ride needs, then plan and develop a safety control system. You will evaluate the use of technology and reflect on its use in other situations. You need to plan, build, test, evaluate and document the use of control systems, as well as extending your skills in using sensors and control software.

You will use a variety of input and output models to test your ideas.

Finally, you will consider how to create an appropriate presentation to be shown to the park manager, outlining the features of the ride and how safety components have been included.
