Every Friday in May

Education Days at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom offer knowledge and fun in one sweet deal. Students will explore math, science, and physics by observing (and RIDING) the mechanics of world-class coasters, thrill rides, and more. With discount admission, meal packages, and educational workbooks, we’ve got everything you need to inspire the next generation of scientists.

Grab your spot before anyone else. Kick back, relax, and take credit for the best field trip ever!

Data Collection

Several different smartphone apps may help in data collection and analysis while in the park. Suggested apps are Physics Toolbox by Vieyra Software, and another is phyphox by RWTH Aachen University.

Physics Toolbox has a rollercoaster mode built in, and phyphox can create an experiment by combining the altitude and accelerometer sensors. This will only work for phones that have a barometer. Some phones do not have this sensor. If using a smartphone, it must be stored in a secure pocket for the entire duration of the ride. Devices may not be held in hand.
