Designing theme parks at Queen's.

QTEDT was founded by a small group of Queen's students with a shared obsession: the design of theme parks. From day one the club has been organized like a real attractions studio, with engineering, creative, and operations working in parallel on the same ride concept.

Each year revolves around two anchors: the Themed Media & Theme Design Competition (TMTDC) and the IAAPA Expo, the largest themed entertainment trade show in the world. Between those, we run an internal project, a speaker series with industry guests, and workshops for new members.

Beyond the deliverables, QTEDT is a community. It's where a first-year engineer learns ride-system CAD, a fine-arts student ships a stylized world bible, and a commerce student writes the market case that makes a creative idea a credible build.
