Space coaster - glow in the dark
1. The Glow in the Dark Space Coaster is a model roller coaster that comes flat packed for build it yourself fun.

- to roll its way to the bottom via twists and tur
ns and a loop-the-loop - before being pr
opelled back to the
beginning by the motorised elevator. T
wo entry and exit ramps are r
equired with each track, allowing a ball
to be running through the maze at all times.
