"On Physics Day, Funtown USA transforms from a regular amusement park to a giant physics lab, with the next generation of scientists collecting and analyzing data from the park's rides", said Ed Hodgdon, the park's marketing manager. "Students learn about momentum on the Grand Prix Racers, velocity on the Astrosphere, and G-forces on the Dragon's Descent."

The University of Maine Physics Department will be sending their 'Mainely Physics Road Show' with professors and graduate students on hand to assist students and teachers with the curriculum.  

Steve DeAngelis of Maranacook Community High School in Readfield, Maine brings a group of students to Physics Day every year. According to DeAngelis, "The Physics Day experience is both fun and extremely educational for my students, not to mention motivational." This year, nearly 100 students will be attending from Maranacook.
