Rollercoaster

Engineer Your Way to Victory — The UK's Most Creative Corporate Team Challenge
Rollercoaster is one of Event Collection's most creative and engaging indoor team building events. Teams are given a set of raw materials and a brief — and from that moment, the design, planning, and building is entirely in their hands.
What makes Rollercoaster so effective as a corporate team building event is the way it naturally mirrors real project management challenges. Teams must plan under time pressure, allocate resources wisely, adapt when things don't go to plan, and collaborate effectively to bring their vision to life.
The trial-and-error nature of the build phase is particularly powerful — teams learn to test, fail, adapt, and improve in real time.
The event culminates in the launch finale — teams present their creations and send the ball on its journey. Speed, distance, and design all count. Available across the UK, from Aberdeen and Edinburgh to Manchester and London.
Design. Build. Launch.
Three phases that test creativity, teamwork, and engineering ingenuity
Phase 1: Design
Teams receive their materials and brief. Plan your rollercoaster design, assign roles, and decide how to use your resources wisely.
Phase 2: Build
The clock is ticking. Teams construct their rollercoaster, test sections, and troubleshoot problems as they go.
Phase 3: Launch
Teams present their rollercoasters and send the ball on its journey. Speed, distance, and design flair all count towards the final score.
