Rollercoaster
Indoor Team Building Event

The challenge is to build a rollercoaster track along which a football must travel by gravity alone. Teams are given a variety of raw materials, including bamboo cane and machine rolled newspaper.

The Event Format

This activity can work with groups of almost any size. We break the group up into teams, but they soon learn to collaborate. Teams then often divide into sub groups to create sections of the track each. Teams learn to work together to create a greater and longer track. Extra points are awarded for 'design flourishes'; the ultimate feat is to build a successful loop the loop.

The nature of the teamwork and opportunities for collaboration make this an ideal facilitated challenge.

Indoor or Outdoor Challenge

Despite this event being a traditional indoor event, it can also function outdoors and this opens up the possibilities for even higher and faster rollercoaster designs.
