Exciting Ride!
on November 17, 2021
Posted by: QuietestFluffyScutter
This is the largest sized set I have built so far and it was really, really fun. An exciting "ride" to piece it all together and watch it work. I motorized it and added my own lighting with LEGO parts. I created big spotlights and put them on the Powered UP app. I call my set "East Coaster" because of where I grew up. I highly recommend this set for build and play.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Movable piece ussues
on October 29, 2021
Posted by: Librarianbarb
The chain continues to break upon continued use and is difficult to fix. Only 4 rubber bands given so if 1 breaks unable to replace and mechanism is stymied. The building of the structure is fine but the use fails.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Get it before it is gone
on August 29, 2021
Posted by: Road Dwarf
This is my favorite build so far and with the powered up motor and hub I love to just let it run while I am working on other kits. I was surprised how much fun this one was to build and seeing the track and supporting frame come together was very satisfying. This is not a build it and forget it set; although expensive it is very much worth it to me in the ongoing enjoyment I am getting out of it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fantastic set for Enthusiasts and Lego fans alike
on July 25, 2021
Posted by: Alex
This set checks every box; size, build, playability, figures, and value. The size of it is phenomenal, the build was difficult but payed off, and do I even need to bring up the playability? Everything about this set is nearly, if not, perfect. My only complaint is about the excessive amount of 2x2 circle bricks (over 500!). I also had a missing 2x8 white brick, but since it's such a common piece I found a replacement in no time. Other than that, this set is phenomenal.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thrill of the Build
on July 18, 2021
Posted by: Shrooma
In my opinion, I have to say that the joy of building the Roller Coaster set is watching the theme park attraction slowly take shape. While this set does require some repetitive building, the only tedious task is threading the technic rods through the white cylindrical studs, taking the end pieces off to adjust the rods in order to make sure the pillar looks like what is seen in the instructions.
Apart from building the tedious support column, there have been times where applying too much weight; either attaching the track to the beams will cause the entirestrtucture to break off, but other than that, the foundation and structure is sound as once completed, there's no rattle as the train makes a complete loop.
The only tedious part of the entire build would have to be the chain lift as while the instructions required 203 pieces, I had to add more, my eventually take some off in order to get a snug fit that wouldn't cause the lift mechanism to jam up and at the same time, catch the two three car trains.
Over all, this set was fun to build, with plenty of scenic details, separately applied stickers, mini-figures and two trains, and while there have been some ups and downs, especially operating the lift manually, had the set included the power futons packs which would cause the price to change, I would've paid more, especially with the power fucntion packs are becoming withdrawn and have to be bought separately.

Amazing set, must buy!
on July 7, 2021
Posted by: Whyse
I will start off by saying this is an amazing set, the only bad thing is that its hard to move once built.
The MSRP on this set makes it hard to swallow buying, but I will tell you, its well worth the price tag! This set is a working roller coaster! You turn a crank and the cars go up the hill and once it starts going down the other side gravity takes it back to the start!
Lots of detail from a person selling pictures of the riders as they come out, to minifig faces that can be changed to show their feelings about the ride to a frog pond and a lost hat.
You also have two car sets, a queue, a breaking system and a resting area.
Let's talk about motors for a moment though. The ones it talks about to get in the booklet are retired and so you need to either get the Boost Creative toolkit (17101) or the powered up motor (45303) and the powered up hub (88009) the hub also comes with a number of powered train sets. A motor is not needed, but it sure makes it fun to sit back and watch it.
I say this is a must buy if you have the space for it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
