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!
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... SPECIAL THANKS to Phillip Blancher's graphic design work (used for the top track layout below) which can be found here: http://phillip.blancher.ca/geotrax/geotrax.jpg
