"Newton's Three Laws of Motion are at work in virtually every Disney theme park ride and attraction. The Walt Disney Imagineers demonstrate how they use Newton's Three Laws to create some of the most exciting ride experiences possible. From the thrilling rockets of California Adventure's Golden Zephyr to the wild twists of California Screamin', students will learn to define acceleration, friction and motion. Best of all, they'll be able to see first-hand the relationship between the motion of objects and the forces that act on them"--Container.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Too short, but good content submitted by SadieRose on August 9, 2018, 11:49am My 8 year old enjoyed seeing the Disney rides that she loves. She was able to understand how force, motion and acceleration are used to create the rides.

Not The Best in the Series submitted by Meginator on August 27, 2022, 10:18pm Given the fact that Newtonian physics quite obviously provides the basis for every theme park attraction, this is a surprisingly weak installment in this educational series; though the awkward brand of humor (with appropriate middle school appeal) remains fairly consistent throughout these videos, the delivery feels somewhat stilted in this one. As always the program provides an effective blend of solid scientific information, direct illustrations of important principles in physics, and examples of real-world applications from Disney theme park attractions, including a look at a bygone DisneyQuest attraction I’m personally sorry to have missed. Even when this series is a little awkward and gets its balance wrong, it’s still a decent way to introduce viewers to basic physics, especially if they’re already fans of the Disney parks.
