For this project it is required that the roller coaster has 2 full loops and also 2 hills. It cannot take up an area of greater then 75 cm x 75cm x 100 cm high. I could use some suggestions as to what material i should use as the track. ( It needs to be flexible enough to form the loops and hills.) Thanks for your help!!
What is a good material to use when building a model roller coaster?
You can buy coaster kits on-line. I believe the company is Kinectix. They use flexible extruded plastics and nylon connectors.
Use Yahoo search or Yahoo shopping and search for roller coasters.
Reply:I saw an awesome project like this that was made out of that black foam insulation sheathing for pipes. (Like the stuff shown in the picture at that link). Frame it up with wood or maybe some metal plant trellises. Use steel marbles or ball bearings somewhat smaller than the inner diameter of your insulating foam.
