GraviTrax - Zipline (Expansion)

The GraviTrax Zipline is an exciting expansion set for the GraviTrax marble run system, designed for players aged 8 and above. This expansion introduces a new and dynamic element to your GraviTrax creations, allowing marbles to travel across gaps by using a zipline mechanism.

Key Features:

• New Mechanic: The Zipline introduces a unique mechanism where marbles can glide across gaps, traveling from one side to another. This adds a fresh dimension to your marble runs, requiring you to plan how to incorporate the zipline for continuous flow.
• Creative Possibilities: The Zipline extension provides more variety in how you can design and build your tracks, with the option to add horizontal movement. This allows for complex and creative layouts that engage players in understanding the principles of physics and engineering.
• Compatibility: This expansion is fully compatible with all GraviTrax sets, including GraviTrax PRO. It can be easily integrated into your existing GraviTrax marble run, allowing you to enhance and expand your layouts.

Components:

• 1 Zipline piece for connecting different track sections
• 1 long rail piece
• 2 medium rail pieces
• 3 short rail pieces
• Instructions for assembly

Educational Value:

GraviTrax encourages children to explore and experiment with basic principles of physics, including gravity, magnetism, and kinetic energy, in a hands-on way. The Zipline extension, specifically, helps users understand the importance of angles and momentum in getting marbles to move across different heights.

How it Works:

The Zipline extension allows players to connect different track sections and create a continuous path for the marbles. By setting up a Zipline, players can send marbles gliding across the space, bypassing gaps and maintaining the flow of the track. This innovative feature enhances the overall experience, making the marble run more interactive and challenging.
