Rock Candy Rush was a submission for the Swamp Thrills competition. I acted as Project Manager and Head of Story on a team of five students.

With our given prompt of food and the challenge to incorporate educational elements, we were awarded 2nd place in the competition.

Rock Candy Rush tells the story of Sweet Peaks, the mining town built around the Rock Candy Mountain. Everything in Sweet Peaks runs off of the naturally occurring rock candy found within the mountain. Guests are brought in as miners-in-training and end up taking a wild ride deep with Rock Candy Mountain where they come face to face with the mythical Rock Candy Monster.

The ride teaches guests about the importance of natural resources and how towns are often built around them. They are also given a warning on the dangers of overusing natural resources and how it can affect the area around it.
