Our 8th graders had the unique opportunity to talk to Caleb Ritchea from Dollywood today and ask all the FUN questions. He is a rides maintenance supervisor and let them know all the ins and outs of ride maintenance, what happens when a rollercoaster goes down, the tallest ride in the park, and his favorite of them all. He even threw in vocabulary our students have learned, and helped relate it to his favorite ride-mystery mine. Students then were able to take a ✨virtual✨ ride to see exactly how inertia affects the coaster. Special thanks to Dollywood and Kevin Patton for helping set up this wonderful opportunity for our kids!
