Roller coasters are fun to ride but they are even more fun to design! This Miniature Roller Coaster Kit is a physically accurate representation of a real-world roller coaster. This set includes over 300 pieces and detailed instructions to build dozens of configurations with curves, loops, corkscrews, and bunnyhops that take only a couple of hours to build, and only a couple of minutes to disassemble. It's a great family activity or a creative way to teach beginning physics to young scientists. The Child Safe lift mechanism has no exposed parts to harm younger coaster designers. Features include design flexibility, straight and curved track, track piers, powered lift mechanism, 4-car coaster train with eight O scale figures, and AC/DC adaptor included. As an added bonus, you'll receive a copy of the original Roller Coaster Tycoon PC game. Guaranteed to be a hit at home or school.

What does it teach?

Imagine the excitement of building a miniature roller coaster in class as a way to learn about the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy. Experiment with dozens of design possibilities as the young roller coaster scientists work as a team to create the coolest twists, curves, corkscrews and loops.
