There are a number of resources available for using amusement parks as a
physics laboratory.  PASCO does have kits for use in amusement parks that are
easy to make and use.

A resource book is available (from NSTA?):
Unterman, Nathan A.  (1990).  _Amusement Park Physics:  A Teacher's Guide_.
  J. Weston Walch:  Portland, ME.    ISBN: 0-8251-1681-3

Hershey Park, Hershey, PA is holding their Physics Day on May 18.  For info,
contact:  Susan H. Kunisky-1-800-242-4236.  Hershey has some printed resources
for teachers.

Joe Dougherty, Manheim Twp. High School, School Road, Lancaster, PA 17601, has
developed a packet of activities for use with high school students.

Mr. R.S. Deremer, Warwick Middle School, 401 maple St., Lititz, PA, has adapted
these activities for the middle school.

Dr. William Irwin, Science Advisor, IU 13, 1110 Enterprise Rd, Lancaster, PA

I hope this helps.
