Verified Purchase:Yes
My kids love this, their favorite Christmas present.
1. If you install this on cement, you're going to need a lot more than 6 feet of clearance.
2. Assembly wasn't very hard, I did it myself, but it was difficult to get organized before getting started. A power drill will help insert the screws (tip from YouTube). AND, I found it more assuring to put in the bolts first, tighten, and then screw in the screw.
3. It would've been great if the pieces were labeled, but if you line them all up first, it's pretty simple to see which piece is which.
4. Seems sturdy enough, my 2 year old does wear a helmet, but after watching them for the first couple hours, I didn't see him get anywhere near to falling (but safety first).

GREAT PRODUCT...VERY happy with this purchase. If I could recommend one thing, I would LOVE it if there were some other attachments to vary the experience, like what, I don't know...but I would think it would be boring to just go up and down, up and down...though the kids LOVE It. So, maybe I'm just a grumpy old man...a grumpy old man who's very happy with this purchase. : )
OH...And, I would've loved if this thing had a tarp or something to cover when it rains.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Happiness is having your own coaster!

My grandchildren are 2 (girl) and 4(boy) and this coaster has made their outside playtime go up to a whole new level of fun! They quickly learned to take turns, and little sis gets pushes from big brother, which they both enjoy-she waits, and he comes around the back of the coaster and gives her a little push and they both squeal with excitement! He is able to wiggle it forward on his own. I had the small up and down roller coaster years ago for my sons, and was thrilled to be able to get this cool coaster for my grandchildren, as I watch them every weekday and we are building many happy memories in the yard with this amazing riding toy!

Best Birthday Gift Ever

We bought this awesome Hot Wheels Extreme Thrill Coaster for our grandson's third birthday and it was a big hit. This coaster has an amazing wow factor and is loved by our little guy, his six year old sister and his nine year old brother. I thought that it would make a great addition to their playground in their huge yard and boy was i right. All three children love it and it is the first thing they run to when they go outside to play. It is very well made like all of Step 2's products and I would highly recommend this to anyone who is considering a coaster purchase or just as a fun filled gift that will continue to thrill your little ones for years to come.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great addition to our backyard playground

My children ages 9 and 6 love this. It has been a great addition to our backyard playground. We live in Florida and it has so far stood up to the heat, and rain storms very well. Great purchase. It was also pretty easy to put together, but you do need two people.

Hours of our door fun!

Way to go Step 2! We have had products of yours last through generations in our family so when it's time to make a large purchase we know where to go. Our littlest daredevil got this for his birthday and both him (2) and older sis (4) LOVE it. I have to be honest, I wish I was with the weight limit to try it myself. My husband installed it easily and it passed this crazy moms safety and security check. The kids figured it out quickly. It is amazing to see them push it back up to the top themselves with no problems due to the stairs. It's actually very light too and we can move it into the garage easily when needed. The extra little bump at the end is perfect for little daredevils! I have no doubt this product will be used for years to come. We definitely recommend it!

Great! Great! Great!

So much fun! My grandchildren (3 and 5 yr old girls) absolutely love it! Their friends are in awe when they come over. Huge hit! Very sturdy. Only thing to beware of is that it took my son-in-law (who is a homebuilder/contractor) 2 1/2 hours to put it together. Not a simple snap here and snap there. Also beware, if you assemble it on hard ground (i.e. cement), the car will continue rolling quite some distance… Which is great, but they can also slam into a gate/wall or whatever is in its path, if you're not aware of this. So just be sure there's plenty of distance for the car to roll on hard ground, or be sure to put up a buffer of some sort where you want the ride to finish. Still giving five stars even with the lengthy assembly, because the kids love it so much! And it feels very strong, sturdy and safe.

Mommy of three approved

All three of my daughters ages 2, 5 and 7 love this! They have hours of fun and get some exercise pushing the car up the coaster as well. It appears pretty durable so far, although, I have only had it for about a month now... Assembly was not that bad, it took myself and my husband about an hour to put together. I would definitely recommend this coaster as my children are still enjoying it after a month and have not tired or become bored with it unlike they have with so many other toys. A couple of things to consider would be that this structure does take up quite a bit of space and the grass under the structure as well as where the car wheels roll over does tend to die. Our solution to the grass dying was to move the coaster a little every time a patch of the grass starts to yellow so that the grass can recover. So far that's worked!
