Excellent

This set is absolutely amazing! It is so unique and has a big playability factor. It is very big and looks exactly like how I would imagine a Lego coaster would look. The only complaint I have is with its moveability, once you have it in one spot, it is basically impossible to pick it up without dropping it or breaking something. Overall, it has great value and I would definitely recommend this!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The carts stopped rolling on the tracks correctly.

The coaster structure is impressive, but it sure is disappointing that the carts never make it past the first curve over the ticket booth after a couple weeks of owning it. I even wiped the tracks to make sure it wasn't dust preventing the carts from finishing their journey, but no matter what they always grind to a halt in the same spot.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

While dust could gum up the works, sounds like this is more a build issue. Sometimes if the rails and supports aren't pressed tightly enough, they can get a little out of alignment after a lot of use. Some adjustment there should make everything run A-Okay again.

Incredible Dream Set
on May 17, 2020
Posted by: Spec
I was so excited when I saw this set was for out. As a coaster enthusiast and a Lego Fan it was a must have. Glad I did. This set was so fun to build with my 9 year old. It was a great STEM teaching. I went ahead and bought the M-Motor an XL- Motor (overkill I know but man do those trains get up the lift fast) and battery pack. Also bought a controller and IR receiver to operate the chain and station wheel. My 2 toddlers love to watch the trains go around the track. This set is big, so if you plan on the purchase, make sure you have the space to showcase it.

Best purchase yet!

After watching the first season of LEGO Masters, I wanted to buy a set that moved. This coaster is incredible. Hands down the most I’ve spent on one set but the amount of pieces and details definitely make sense for the price.
I took my time with the build as it was very easy to overlook things and mess up. For the people that complain about this set, I think it is user-error related. Take your time, enjoy the build and you will have a beautiful functioning coaster.
I opted to motorized it and I highly recommended that as well. The battery box was a little touchy but I finally got the batteries to work by moving them around. Unlike some, I thought the online ordering made it clear that the set did not come with the motor and it would have to be added. I agree with others that it should be just included in the set.
Lastly, I had to take out 5 tracks in order for it to work at all, so keep that in mind if it’s not working right away.
Overall, thank you LEGO for making my quarantine so enjoyable!

It was a pain to get the chain on. Pops off and gets caught causing towers to fall. Hate this one.

SIP Amusement Park Build
on April 18, 2020
Posted by: Bucketload
The extended time at home has afforded some serious catch-up on father son Lego build time.... The Roller Coaster was a set we were not at first totally sold on. However, we knew we wanted to build an amusement park, so we made the purchase last year. And now we have time to build! The build was repetitious, but as the coaster began to take shape we were getting excited to run the trains. The final product is nice however the manual power is a little clunky, but still fun to play with and it fits in nice with our Carousel (just built too). It takes up a lot of space, so plan accordingly, the kids and I love it!

Incredibly Fun Build
on March 11, 2020
Posted by: SirKnowledgeableSamukai
What a fun tine I had building the Roller Coaster. I love that feeling with LEGO when large, odd pieces you construct end up fitting perfectly in the structure and bringing it all together. Every angle makes sense; every little hook or peg is there for a reason.
And, the coaster works perfectly! Smooth and lifelike. Not a monotonous build whatsoever. Even building the pillars vary from unit to unit, and the resulting structure is surprisingly sturdy.
Definitely spring for the Power Functions - it's a blast letting this run itself.
My favorite LEGO build yet.
