About
Queen's Themed Entertainment Development Team.
QTEDT is Queen's student-run themed entertainment club. We design original ride concepts and compete at TMTDC and IAAPA each year.
We work like a real attractions studio. Creative dreams up the ride, Engineering makes it real, and Business & Finance packages and pitches it, while Marketing shares it all with the world.
Each year centres on TMTDC and the IAAPA Expo. Around those, we run an internal project, an industry speaker series, and workshops for new members.
