Spent a lot of time on this and really am happy with the outcome. the rollercoaster in action is fast and fun, especially with the power functions add on. Overall worth every penny. could use a few more mini characters for the second car, but its easily fixable.
They greatly inflated the piece count on this one. Cool roller coaster when finished but was not nearly worth the money. Should've at least included motorized functions at this price.
One of the best sets lego have released to date goes great with the Ferris wheel and carousel.Hope lego can release more detailed rides like these ie.waltzer,dodges,shelter shelter I think they would be big sellers.
Hi, all at Lego. Congratulations on creating the best lego set... This rollercoaster now completes our theme park we now have to expand our table for it all to fit. This item has been a finger sore builder. Which means its well worth the frustration of all those poles and round wide discs that were needed to build it. Plus the crossbar assembly was nipping the skin every time. But despite it, I stayed up till 2 am to complete it. Then the following morning to attach the chain which was quite therapeutic to join all those tiny links... Still not healthy for m thumb and forefinger....lol Overall a fantastic build and I love how you can crank the carts up then they zoom around fast once around the final top bend. Great looking characters even I'm in it. Yes, I'm a photographer too! I also love rollercoasters. My husband and I hope to one-day visit the Lego house. Trust me patents when I say this....not for under 16 unless totally supervised. Too many tiny parts. Enjoy this guy's, it's the best! Motor on very soon.
While it seems like there is a lot of repetition with this build, the fact is that you have to pay attention. The structural supports seem the same, but they are not - different heights and features depending on where they go in the overall build. There are a ton of fun details and it is very satisfying to see this coaster go! I estimate about an hour per "chapter" and there are 11 total. Be sure to build on a sturdy base, the base plates are not strong enough to hold this structure if you need to move it.
I had a lot of fun putting this together because I have been waiting for years for Lego set that was a big roller coaster. Now I’ve been making big set for about the last four years so I found this very easy to put together. I’m hoping and years to come they will continue to make really big sets but I’m hoping they start making them very complicated.
Purchased for me to build and my grandson to play with. Eveyone who has seen it has been amazed at the way everything runs. I was really impressed with how sturdy the whole build is, the instructions are clear but don't rush.
This set is one that is a good set to put together. I found putting the chain in the coaster a challenge. I also had to get some of the pieces that were missing replaced. At first when adding the battery there is a little glitch in the car when going up the incline. This worked its way out. Overall happy with the new addition to my collection.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for your review. It's very unusual for a LEGO® set to be missing any pieces. (Usually they're found stuck in the packaging or hiding on the floor!) But in the rare case something is missing, we're always here to help at LEGO.com/Service. We're glad you got in touch, and happy building!
