THE SPOOKY ISSUE
All aboard the Ghost Train !
POLLY ’ S mISSION
Have you ever been on a ghost train ? It ’ s a type of amusement park ride where guests sit in a small vehicle and are taken through a building full of spine-tingling special effects ! You might think it ’ s just a case of plonking the effects here and there at random , but the best ghost trains have a lot of thought put into how they ’ re structured . If you do it right , riders will feel like they ’ re being transported through a movie – when they ’ re not screaming their heads off , that is !
ACTIVITY SKILLS
1 HOUR +
DIFFICULTY
GET STARTED
STEP 1 : Print out your design sheets or grab some paper ! First , you ’ re going to think up a story for your ride . A ghost train doesn ’ t always need a haunted house theme , although it is one of the most popular options . Think about how you could make your theme different to the rest . An ancient tomb ? A sunken submarine ? Could your ride be a time machine journey through different periods ? Or maybe you could have a labyrinth full of ancient Greek monsters ! The most important thing with a ghost train is to keep it spooky ! Next , think of a one-sentence story which could be applied to your theme .
Here are some examples : o o
YOU WILL NEED
Pen or a pencil
Printer or 3 blank pieces of paper
Riders take a tour through a Victorian hotel , but there are ghosts staying in the rooms ! Riders explore a forbidden jungle , until they disturb something supernatural ! Riders drive to the beach , before they take a wrong turn down a forbidden road !
Keep this sentence in mind as you make your design , because it will help you keep the story strong !
