Nieceling and I designed our own thrill ride at EPCOT. The attraction, which is located in Innoventions, is called "Sum Of All Thrills". Presented by Raytheon, it’s designed to get kids interested in the physics and math behind the building of a thrill ride.

Our thrill ride is a roller coaster with features like corkscrews and half-pipes. We call it “The Electric Star”

You have four minutes to design your ride, and our little buddy Crash the test dummy helps you by trying out your stunts to see if they are viable. Crash is pictured here on a plastic electronic swipe card that stores your thrill ride after you have finished designing it. You then take the card to another section where you are strapped into a capsule on a crane and your program runs, turning you upside down, sideways and all around. Fun stuff!

Disney helps teach financial literacy

06132009760-WDW-EPCOT-great-piggy-bank-adventure

I was passing through the French pavilion at EPCOT a few weeks ago and saw this sticker clinging to a wrought iron fence like a mini-sign advertising… um, pork? bacon? Nope, it’s a game!

With the help of Google, I’ve discovered that The Great Piggy Bank Adventure is a financial literacy program presented by Disney in partnership with T. Rowe Price. There’s an attraction at the Innoventions section of EPCOT, and there’s also an online game that kids can play. Check it out when you’ve got a few minutes, it’s fun!
