"For the purposes of the record, a paper rocket is defined as a toy made entirely of paper that fits onto a straw, and when the straw is blown through, the rocket flies into the air," the science center said in a news release.
Members of the public hoping to participate in the record attempt are being encouraged to arrive by 10 a.m. Saturday, as seating is limited to 300 people and registration will be "on a first come/first served basis."
An official Guinness World Records adjudicator will be on hand to witness the attempt.
"At the Orlando Science Center, we focus on creating iconic experiences that ignite curiosity and a love for science," JoAnn Newman, president & CEO of Orlando Science Center, said in the release. "We are excited to welcome the community to join us as we attempt to achieve this Guinness World Records title while also highlighting the STEM skills needed to achieve it."
