I bought this for my son for Christmas. I ended up building this for him because it's just too difficult for a child his age to sit and build. After it was built, I attached a light kit. This made it really come to life. I also bought the power supply. The only issue with the power supply that I have is the location of the power supply because you have to reach through, or over the supports or track. For me, it's ok because Im bigger, but for my son, since he's small, has a difficult time reaching and pressing the button. For example, one night when he tried to press the button, his arm knocked some of the track off.
The roller coaster tracks do not stay together and the cars often get stuck. We have rechecked every connection and rebuilt sections as suggested by Lego. Nothing works.
There were also several missing pieces. Luckily we have many sets of Legos and were able to find replacements.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh no! We're sorry to hear this. It’s very rare for a LEGO® set to be missing pieces. Usually you’ll find them stuck in the packaging, used in place of a similar piece, or hiding somewhere near your building area.
If you’ve checked all over and the parts haven't appeared, don’t worry! It’s super easy to request replacements. Just go to LEGO.build/BricksPieces to get started.
As for your set coming apart, head to LEGO.build/Service to get in touch with our brick experts. They'd be happy to help troubleshoot your build.
My parents actually surprised me with this. It's my first Lego set ever. It was easy to put together. I finished it in about 12 hours. I'd love to know how I can buy more pieces to create 2 more trains for this?
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed building our Roller Coaster set! The very first set is always special! Feel free to get in touch with our brick experts at LEGO.Build/Service to find out ways to get more carts to add on to your set. Loads more fun to come!
Let me explain. I felt let down because there cannot possibly ever be a set better than this! It was an exciting build and so fun to play with! Instructions were perfect. Functionality was perfect. My only concerns was I wish there were more Lego characters and I won't be able to find a better build.
I think this might be my favorite LEGO set yet. The aesthetic is classic LEGO, with simple colors and attention to detail, and it looks great. It also fulfills a general fantasy I've always had to own and operate a theme park, especially with roller coasters, lol. Very satisfying build and it's so much fun to play with. Cats agree. I think we will look back on this as one of the all-time greatest LEGO sets ever designed and released.
It was a decision between some small LEGO sets or the Roller Coaster. Eventually, I came to my senses and bought the coaster. When we got home, it took me almost 20 minutes to set up my station. Then the fun began. It took me nearly 2 days, but I got it done with plenty of winter break left to spare. LEGO, you never seem to disappoint me.
