Interesting repetitivity
on February 6, 2019
Posted by: Kairasam
As soon as I first open the box, I was surprised by the size of the built... Enormous !
Even though it was very repetitive with the columns, it was an interesting built. Very satisfied with the fact that everything works!

Most Fun Set Ever!

This set is amazing and the techniques used are brilliant. The gear system is incredibly intricate and functional. Whoever thought this design up is a genius. Once built it is a joy to watch both sets of cars fly around the track. This one will wow everyone, whether they are lego fans or not. I have waited for this one for years and the wait was well worth it!!

Stop complaining, already!

Received as a gift. Okay, so it’s obvious to even a casual observer that by their very nature, some things are going to be ‘repetitive’ as far as the build is concerned. Taj Mahal, Tower Bridge, Roller Coaster. All have characteristics that involve using the same structural component over and over and over. But, the result is very rewarding and very true to the structures actual shape and form. The modular building series, in general, is not repetitive. The Creator expert series has many sets representing actual buildings that, by their very nature, have to involve repetitive actions.
This is a fun build and an impressive set once completed.

Got this for Xmas and I wasn’t sure at first but now built it is awesome! Operating with the motor is spot on and the cars run smoothly and my figs look like there enjoying the ride. It’s a nice build and not as repetitive as I thought but be aware it’s a big one !

This is an amazing set to build with a great experience also after you build it, because with some sets you can’t move it or play with it, but this set is interactive and you can modify it using the LEGO power tools set. Overall, this is an awesome set and the only thing I don’t like about it is the price. All LEGO is over priced in my opinion and I think it could be cheaper but it probably is worth the money. I love it!

Favorite Set Ever
on January 3, 2019

This is by and far my favorite LEGO set ever! As a big roller coaster/theme park fan, I had to have this set when it was announced. Both my daughter (5 years) and I worked on this together, and had a great time.
The chain lift and track parts make it a very unique set, which adds to playability and its overall display (proudly set in our living room along with 10247, 10257, and 10244).
The piece count is high on this, so it does take a while to build. A lot of this is taken up with the supports, which are thankfully reinforced and overall fairly sturdy. Our cat has managed to knock some sections off, but they are easy to set back in place once the overall support structure is complete.
It's incredibly helpful that the whole set splits into two main sections, so that it can be easily transported from one room to another. If you have an appropriate space, this is definitely a great set to display!
If you're looking for a more "natural" look, it goes well with any small sets that fit the theme park design. We have added several food carts, stores, and other rides/games to bring out the feel of a running park.
If or when LEGO decides to create more roller coasters, we will be first in line!

A fun build
on January 2, 2019
Posted by: KeithD
I really enjoyed building the roller coaster but there are a couple of tricks. It's important to make sure the top geared sections (where the tyres are) are very very free flowing as otherwise the roller coaster doesn't work too well. I ended up taking the section off and just fiddling until they all worked very smoothly. It made a BIG difference to the operation of the roller coaster.
Also feeding the chain in needs care - I found the only way at the top was to manually operate the geared section so the chain was pulled through. Also you need to be careful where you start the feeding at the top - it needs to go directly to the wheel under the track element not over it or the chain wont connect.
Built correctly the coaster runs really well. I hope Lego come out with another more advanced version with loops etc - could it be an optional add-on kit, perhaps?

This set was very fun to put together with the right amount of challenge and watching the rollercoaster go around is mesmerizing. There are some extremely repetitive steps but the rest was extremely fun.
