1st Expert Lego set I’ve bought and it’s awesome! It’s an expert set for a reason but the instructions are great to help you build it. Once it’s built you’ll have years of fun! I received all my pieces and now I can’t wait to build more Lego masterpieces! Thanks Lego for being Awesome!
I really enjoyed this build. It took a lot longer than expected but then again, I'm not an expert and this was the largest set I have ever built. The mechanics seem to be a little jerky but once I added the m-motor, it was nice and smooth. However, one of the sections of track kept coming loose. I decided to just add a couple of bricks for added support and it worked like a charm. All-in-all, it's a great build.
Challenging and exciting. All pieces must be well-pressed. Just be careful not to put weight on the tracks while playing (my daughter did), otherwise they will fall apart. Overall, it’s awesome! We now have a little theme park at home ❤️
The roller coaster was amazing. It is very sturdy and it works as I thought. This is a fun set to play with. The only drawback are the 203 tiny black chain pieces, which took a long time to string together and hurt our hands. My 7 year old built this set. He thought some parts were hard determine the placement of the pieces by just looking at the pictures. This is our favorite set, taking first place from the Ferris wheel. Let’s see how it holds up to long term play.
It was a fun but also somewhat repetitive build, when I finished, the function worked nicely.After a week the chain made loud screeching noises and the wheels that push the cart around the curve started making noises, and it had more friction. I took the chain off and counted it 6 times and I had 203 chain links. I took of some links and I put some on, nothing works. I took apart the functions and thoroughly checked them,nothing.I spent 400 dollars on this thing for it to break in a week. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hmmm...sounds like something went a little off in your build. If something's a little out of place (or not pressed tightly enough together, or gears pressed too tightly) it might shift further out of place as time goes on and the roller coaster moves. Rebuilding should do the trick, and if you need a hand, you can get in touch at LEGO.com/service.
I got this as a gift from my mom for Christmas. I had been jokingly asking for it for the past year and she shocked me. I was stoked! It took me about 23 hours to finish, nothing too hard or too easy. It was a lot of fun 10/10 would recommend.
They did forget my stickers though.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that your stickers are missing. I'd definitely recommend double-checking that the sticker sheet hasn't gotten caught in the box flaps or slipped in between building instructions pages.
