Traditionally K’NEX roller coasters cars are chain lifted to a point of high elevation, giving gravity the power of thrust.

New Opportunities
Unbound by gravity, there is no need for static play. The air-thrusted coaster car climbs through twists and turns otherwise not possible. A biaxial interactive track disrupts the traditional play pattern.
