You also have to determine the spot where you want to place the roller coaster box. If you do not find a natural hill nearby, you will have to use a man-made ramp and a landing area to complete the trajectory.

Next you will have to draw the ramp, the arch of the roller coaster and the final flip of the roller coaster box on a sheet of plywood. Use a circular saw to cut the extra plywood and lay out all the pieces for making the sides of the box.

Attach 2-by-4 pieces of lumber for connecting the plywood pieces together and making a frame at the backside of the wall. Repeating the same process at the other side will make the top of the box. This makes three completed parts of the roller coaster.

Take a sheet of polycarbonate plastic and cut out the width of the top to the top of the wooden frame out of it. This layer of plastic is to be attached to the wooden box with screws and make sure you countersink all of them properly.
