The original Slingshot track has resurfaced in Helen, Georgia which is a seriously wappy town. Originally a logging town in decline it reinvented itself as a replica of a place in the Bavarian Alps complete with an October beer festival and is largely dependent on tourism.
There was already an enormous model train layout in the town which I visited some years ago and the owner opened a slot car place called Alpine Speedway in 2020 which contains the Slingshot track. It has been split into two separate parts and slightly altered. The larger of the two is now 480ft in length! I really must pay a return visit if transatlantic travel is ever allowed again.
