Great Adventures top engineers. Our group designed this prototype with foam tubes, index cards, and water bottles. The coaster started at the top with the highest potential energy, then goes through an index cards tunnel. That then leads the passengers to the terrifying water bottle tunnel then into the jump loop that is compacted with tape and protected with index cards. Finally, the passengers go down the foam tube which has the maximum kinetic energy into the safe landing of the water bottle. Regarding
