Car Ramp

Papa Doug built an improved version of Stanley's car ramp while he was here.  It is much sturdier and the cars really zip down it.  Stanley loves it and will play for hours at a time lining his cars up along the top of the stairs and then sending them down the ramp one by one.  He really likes when a few of them pile up at the bottom and then the rest just crash into one big pile.

A few days ago we decided to move things a little further and build a jump at the bottom of the ramp so the cars could jump over some other cars lined up Evil-Kinevel-Style, before landing gracefully on another ramp down.  The results were more impressive than I had assumed they would be.  Most of the cars were able to clear 4-5 car widths and actually land on the down slope.  Pretty fun.  We have about 10 more videos like the one below.  Stanley loved making movies of the cars jumping the gap and then watching them on my phone.
