=== Welcome to The Roller Coaster Club at CCI! The roller coaster club at CCI is your opportunity to get involved in physics! Experience the chance of a lifetime to develop a scale model of a roller coaster for Wonderland's WonderCoaster contest.===

embers of the roller coaster club will take their model roller coaster to Wonderland in the spring to be judged by actual roller coaster engineers at the park!

Working in teams of four, you will design, construct, decorate, and test your model coaster in advance of the competition date following the CCI Club schedule.

Coasters are judged under various criteria. There is Technical Merit - a score for your coaster is calculated based on things like number of loops, time of ride, height of maximum drop, etc. You may also enter your coaster in the Artisitic Merit category - basically, who is fairest of them all. Lastly, there is the award given out by the park engineer for the coaster most in line with real world expectations. i.e. most likely to be built at Wonderland.

This wiki will be used to help manage your progress and gain inspiration from the other groups building a coaster. The #1 reason for poor quality coaster EVERY YEAR is poor time management! Start by looking at the exemplar photos page. Then look at the Google calendar for key club dates!
