Jelle Bakker aus den Niederlanden macht in diesen Tagen einen neuen Rekordversuch. Er baut eine 1000 m lange Kugelbahn, mit der er sich um einen Eintrag im Guinness Buch der Rekorde bewirbt:
The marble run is built in a pre-show of an attraction in the themepark „avonturenpark hellendoorn“ in Hellendoorn (near Almelo, NL). The opening date for the public is April, 10th 2009.
The height difference is nearly 6 meters and there are several tracks that made the 1000 meters overall length. Notable is the loop-the-loop – 2 vertical loops with a diameter of 175 cm. The longest single trip will be over 300 meters long.
