This is the perfect book for anyone interested in working for or starting an amusement park buisness. Great details and descriptions.

"The Fantastical Engineer" provides an opportunity for students and teachers alike to get inside the exciting world of theme parks and roller coasters. While teachers have been traditionally limited to showing pictures of theme park attractions and talking to students about what it must be like to actually get inside such attractions from the ground up, this book provides a guide that takes the reader right into the fray. You suddenly have a "how to" when it comes to the engineering of theme parks. Students are especially fascinated with roller coasters and "The Fantastical Engineer" serves as good motivation toward directing them not only into further study in this area, but to a possible career in engineering and theme park design as well. It is an excellent supplementary resource for High School Physics and Physical Science students as well as college students and beyond.

After reading this book my daughter feels she can become an engineer! This book made her excited about her future. I highly recommend it for any parent that wants to encourage their child to become an engineer. Only now, she wants to go to theme parks every weekend.

The Fantastical Engineer provides an unusual focus on careers in theme park engineering, blending a comic, upbeat approach with numerous tips on how to apply engineering skills to a theme park environment. The chapters which tell how to work with software and how to produce desired results are light and intriguing.
