The roller coaster project was a lot easier than I thought it would be and even though I ran into a few problem building it, I thought it was a fun project. My original plan was to tape a bunch of paper towel containers on top of each other as the main support and even though it stood up it was not sturdy enough to get the ball over the hill. So my dad came up with the idea to tape and old lacrosse shaft to the paper towels and even though it made it sturdier the ball would still not go over the hill. We finally came up with the plan to drill three hooks into the base of the roller coaster and tie strings around the support that made it just sturdy enogh to get the ball over the hill! Though it was difficult at times I really enjoyed building the coaster.
