This post is sponsored by Discover card. After all, The Maker Mom needs to pay for Arduino classes and she uses her Discover card. A lot. Plus, one lucky reader will win four tickets to the Six Flags location of her/his choice! Please to keep reading.

Update: 8/2 Thanks for playing. The winner of the tickets is MegRyansMom, as selected by random.org.

Remember the marble roller coaster project? Well, here's a chance to go big with roller coaster physics.

Really big.

I'm offering you and your family a chance to play the role of the marble as you zip, zag, twist and drop on some really great roller coasters at the Six Flags location of your choice.

Not a fan of roller coasters? You can eat your way through the park, play the midway games, stick with the tamer rides, watch shows, go to the water park or, my favorite, people watch.

Discover is the official credit card of Six Flags. As such, they offer a variety of cardmember perks, including a 5% discount on all Six Flags online and in-park purchases such as admission tickets, food, merchandise, and souvenirs.

In addition, cardmembers receive expedited entrance into the park during the first two hours of operation each day. And now through September, cardmembers get a 5% Cashback Bonus on all gas, theme park and movies on up to $1,500 in purchases. (Note to self: gas is $3.75/gallon right now, make sure we're getting this perk.)

To enter to win 4 passes to the Six Flag Park of your choice to be used by December 2012, a value of roughly $200, depending upon the park location and ages of your group members:

Comment once sharing the name of your favorite roller coaster ride. I must have a way to contact you, so be sure to include your email, Twitter handle or blog link.

You can also have an additional optional extra entry if you Tweet about this giveaway with the hashtag #TheMakerMom and come back to let me know you did.


Though not required for entry, you are encouraged to follow @Discover on Twitter and like them on Facebook. Same goes for The Maker Mom on Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube. Karma, people.
