VALDOSTA – Wild Adventures Theme Park served as a film set for Georgia Public Broadcasting’s show “Physics in Motion” Thursday.

Georgia Public Broadcasting Producer and Valdosta State University alum Shantel Copeland said the show is “an educational series for high school physics students across the state.”

Filming was originally scheduled at the park in June but rains pushed filming to July.

During the show, which was filmed primarily before the park opened to the public, host Adrian Monte rode various attractions while explaining aspects of motion.

“We are thrilled to host Georgia Public Broadcasting,” said Laurie Windham, public relations manager for the park. “Wild Adventures is all about family fun and education. When you can take something fun and learn from it, it makes it that much better.”

For Copeland, the decision to come to Wild Adventures was an easy one as the crew wanted to get out of the metro Atlanta area and find a good, controlled environment for the shoot.

“Physics in Motion” is set to come out next year, Copeland said.
