TPO now participates in the Ride Engineering Competition!
"The Ride Engineering Competition offers University students a chance to demonstrate real-world engineering practices within the industry focus of ride engineering and design. Student teams design, plan, and manufacture an attraction for small riders based on a prompt that includes a plot of land and desired rider experience."
Disco Inferno is a kamikaze style flat ride where two ride vehicles swing back and forth, eventually inverting rides as they reach the top of the pendulum.
TPO took home the 2026 West Division Rookie of the Year award during their first time competing. This award was given to the rookie team with the highest score!
We had a great time participating and hanging out at Hersheypark!
