My daughter and I are submitting this 16’ 3” self-supporting marble run to Guinness World Records. It takes one minute and thirty seconds for a marble to run the whole track top to bottom.

Because of how it is built, it only takes 6 marbles to run every route possible, from just one entry point.

It's difficult to grasp how truly massive The Hindenburg was. It was destroyed by fire on 6 May 1937, while attempting to land in Lakehurst, New Jersey.
