World's Greatest Paper Roller Coaster

Templates are available at www.PaperRollerCoasters.com. I included just about every feature that I could think of when I designed this roller coaster. It has a switch, three funnels, a half pipe, track hidden inside the structural beams and columns, a jump, many spirals and loops, switchbacks, hill and valley sequences, and stairs. It's 16'4" (4.97 meters) tall, yet its base is only 13" (33 cm) by 12.5" (31 cm). It's free standing, so it does not lean against anything for support. It weighs 2 pounds and 10 ounces (1190 grams). Besides the cardboard base, it is made of only stiff paper and tape. Every marble takes between 90 and 115 seconds to reach the end.

So what kind of paper did you use? I mean is it a specific type?

[andygatt]

@Shoutmon287 I use "Wausau® 65lb. Astrobrights® Card Stock" for the colorful track. I also use "Wausau Paper Card Stock, 65lb, Bright White" for the white structural parts of the roller coaster. Other brands will probably work about the same.
