The model features a 3-stage elevator that moves the marbles back and forth as they climb to the top to begin their amusement park adventure. Which marble will take which track and which will come down first? The Marble Run Stepped Hoist features a 3 marble accumulator in which the third ball opens the gates for the captured first and second marble, sending all three along divergent tracks.
