Reflection
 * The 12 Labors Maze

I did the 12 Labors as an attraction because it connects to “Heracles”. It connects because Heracles had to do 12 labors in order for Zeus to win a bet against Hera. After the labors, Heracles became immortal. I also chose it because it was the most important part of the story Heracles. In the maze, you have to go through the trials of Heracles.
 * The Labyrinth

I did the Labyrinth because it connects to the story “Theseus”. It connects to Theseus because in the story, Theseus had to kill the Minotaur in the Labyrinth to free the other 13 sacrifices from Athens. The ride is a roller coaster and there is a loop that is the biggest in the world.
 * Perseus Statue

I did the Perseus Statue because in the story “Perseus”, Perseus is the protagonist. In the statue, Perseus is holding the head of Medusa, which is what he is famous for. Josh P._block 3 My portion of the project was about nature in Greek mythology and how it related to the gods. I did a zoo type park because the gods had a small zoo in their palace at Olympus which housed animals they found important. The first attraction in the park is a replica of the throne of queen Hera. I found this important because her throne is mainly made of gold and is an incredible piece of work. It was an important mineral to the gods. The second attraction is a restaurant in the zoo which has traditional foods from that time period. The chairs are decorated like the thrones of the gods. The third and final attraction is the shops in the zoo. Throughout the zoo you can see all of the animals that were important to the gods. Near the end of the park there is the shops that hold souvenirs for the guests. Some of the souvenirs are portions of different rocks and minerals that were on the gods' thrones and held on regard by them. That is why the elements in my park belong. Matt H. My themepark fits to it's assignment because of Chaos, the creator; The Olympic parade makes sense because it's about the foundation of the Olympians. My last attraction, Baby Zeus' Cave works well, because Rhea had him hidden in a cave. Longer explanation in file

Kyle V._Block 3 This ride relates to Greek Mythology because they worshiped Zeus and he became the ruler of Mount Olympus. Also this ride talks about how he freed the cyclopes and the hundred handed giants, the the cyclopes gave him the lightning bolt. Also it says how he, Hades, Poseidon randomly picked who would rule the sea, the sky, and the underworld. Zeus got the sky, Poseidon got sea, and Hades the underworld. Another thing it talks about is how him and his brothers, sisters, and his mom overthrew Cronus.

This restaurant relates to Greek mythology because Poseidon was the god of the sea. So in this restaurant they only serve seafood. Once you are inside there is a time line of his life. From when he was born to when he became the ruler of the sea. It also has pictures of his trident that the three cyclopes' gave to him. He controls all of the tides and the ocean waves.

Hades is the god of the underworld and brother of Zeus and Poseidon. He married Persephone through trickery by making a new flower and when Persephone went to go look at it he came up from the ground and took her to the underworld. The Statue also shows him wearing the helmet of invisibility he got from the cyclopes'. He wanted a wife because in the underworld he gets lonely because everyone is dead so he need some company.
