Test your structure, modify, rebuild, retest and problem solve until your marble has a smooth sailing path down the track. How high should your coaster be to provide enough momentum for the entire journey through your track? The marble will let you know. You are the designer, builder and tester of your track. Let’s have fun making a roller coaster for a marble.
