GeoTricks - Geo-Flip!

 

Absolutely amazing... My friend Sean stumbled upon a way to make a 2 story train drop in which the train ends up back on the track... It must be seen to be believed!

Landing!

 

 

Assembly Instructions:

First, a couple notes.... This setup worked (succcessful landing) for us about 75% of the time... on fairly compressed carpet.   We tried it on rubber tiles (see photo below) with approximately 35% success...   Your mileage may vary!    See below for visual instructions...
