Lehrner always wanted to design roller coasters. Even as a(n) __1__, though, she knew that there had to be more to it than just hopping on board. “I started __2__ how I would prepare,”she said. She looked to science and math and __3__ advanced classes in algebra and geometry in middle school and high school.Then she took even more __4__ math and a highlevel physics course.
She also __5__ theme parks as often as she could and researched the __6__ of those coasters online. When it came time for __7__, she went to the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, where she __8__ a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.
Now Lehrner works with amusement parks to design and __9__ new coasters. These new coasters they design are __10__ made of wood, except for a metal __11__ on which the cars run. The basic design has been around for more than a century. Still, Lehrner notes, each new one is different.“A lot of the same__12__and concepts are used when I design new coasters.

The coasters she __18__ make you feel as if you're going__19__than you really are because the tracks are lower to the ground. “We also try to build rides that are fun for the whole __20__—children as well as their parents,” she said.
