Great purchase!
Very serious seller, new item shipped quickly and, above all, very well packaged and protected. Excellent experience, I recommend it!
TODO CORRECTO
THE ITEM ARRIVED PERFECTLY ON TIME. THANK YOU.
This doesn't work better
This is a LEGO set. The quality of the bricks is as always excellent, the construction is not too complicated, and our roller coaster runs almost all day long with the motor. If one battery box is empty, the next one will be used. Simply excellent.

Super LEGO, but the box was very damaged due to shipping.
It's really annoying that Amazon packages the box with so little care. As a result, the LEGO box has large dents and a tear. I'm still hesitant to return it. Some compensation would be appropriate. Such an expensive LEGO box deserves to be packaged better!
Amazing
This set is absolutely amazing and with the added BOOST operation makes it even better my 9 year old absolutely loves it, I think we will struggle to find somewhere to store it though as it is a big big set. The build was challenging at times when it came to the intricate parts in regards to the operation of the chain lift etc. I would recommend you to not rush and read every page of the manual carefully because one mistake could mean your taking bits apart to correct the track supports are secure in most places although could potentially be slightly more secure but apart from that it’s fantastic and the attention to detail well ticket/photo booth, juice stand, little gates on the waiting area, cotton candy stand and a do not stand up sign exactly like a roller coaster in real life
Entertaining product and challenging build
I needed a new hobby and Lego Creator builds have fit that bill for me. This build was challenging, engaging, and just complicated enough to keep me on my toes. The mechanics of the lift chain are quite intricate so if you don’t pay attention I could see the whole mechanism failing. My only gripe is that for the cost of the kit it doesn’t come with the motor and battery pack. I’ll likely buy that because it’s tricky to launch the train and get it to attach to the lift chain if you don’t have the timing right with your left and right hands. Overall I would recommend this build to anyone who is up for a challenge.
Impressive
Bit of a step up from my usual kits but as soon as I saw this it lodged in my brain and kept niggling at me. Did a bit of maths and decided that seeing as there was not going to be a holiday this year or even a weekend getaway I could take the plunge and purchase this huge set. Yes, it IS expensive but it is definitely worth every penny; never mind the actual pieces and the build instruction booklets the engineering and design that have gone in to this are incredible.
The mistake I made with this was attempting to construct it over only two days. I did manage to complete it but I will readily admit I was exhausted at the end of each build session. There is a lot of repetitive building of the support struts but I didn't find it boring in the slightest, the only problem for me was my finger tips became sore from pushing all the blocks together. Well worth it because the completed structure is really sturdy and it needs to be because you need to use some force to attach the red tracks as they have a tendency to want to spring back as you attach them.
When I first ran the Coaster it pulled to the top of the lift hill just fine but when it got to the top the bumper was running anti-clockwise so it was trying to push it back down. On removing the bumper I disassembled and carefully rebuilt from the instructions in Booklet 1 and it still happened. After 90 minutes of frustration trying to figure out what went wrong I searched online for the problem and came across someone who had the same problem but had figured out the diagrams for the three bumpers had one of the cogs in the wrong place. I removed each of the bumpers and rebuilt with the amended cog position and lo and behold it worked. So you can add another 2 Hours to my posted build time.
Still not marking it down though as I am genuinely impressed with the overall build. It just fits on a shelf in my living room and I can actually run it from it's new location. Including moving the second train on to the tracks - I was thrilled by the sliding mechanism for this as it does replicate genuine roller coasters train switching systems.

A highly playable LEGO set
This is a fantastic set that was bought for an adult LEGO fan. They spent about 17 hours building this very large set. Every day it is just as entertaining to wind the carriages to the top of the coaster and let it fly around.
Incredible Dream Set
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.
SIP Amusement Park Build
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!
What a Roller Coaster Ride
Well I hesitated buying this Lego kit. I shouldn’t have ...!
Take your time as it’s a pleasing build with lots to do.
Great use of colour with an excellent attention to detail. There’s just too much to mention.
Best to build it on a board as it need some rigidity. I purchased a piece of laminated plywood to build it on.
Also buy yourself a Lego motor and Lego battery box. Cranking that turn wheel will wear you and your (grand)kids out.
This is a BIG kit and looks great left on display. Walk in, flick the switch and let the carts go ‘round and ‘round...!
Do yourself a favour. Just buy it. You can’t take your money with you. Enjoy it while you can.
Interesting building set
Nice LEGO building set and good price/quality ratio.
Nice Lego roller coaster with fun details.
Very beautiful roller coaster. However, it is a bit boring to assemble.
Light kit
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.
Absolutely love it
My hubby bought me this for my new years eve gift (last year bought me the vw beetle, and I loved it) only been building for a year, and in the past year we've built various star wars pieces, vw beetle, carousel, camper van and then the limited edition 1969 saturn v rocket, and Porsche which we loved, I'm totally addicted (I was obviously a lego deprived child) so this year the roller coaster.....absolutely love it, loved building it, best ever lego piece in my opinion, I've even been sad enough to put various star wars characters in the carts so they can have a fun day out too hahaha
Coaster is a BLAST
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?
Fun set but beware the chain.
We love this set but it has a problem running. First about the build. The building itself is repetitive so it is not good for children alone but the kids can enjoy putting together the small elements like the cotton candy stand and the ticket booth while the grownups put together the pillars. Once up and running it's great fun. You can coordinate the two cart trains (correct term?) So they don't run into each other so there's more to this than watching it go round and round. I would have liked it if they made it easier to break into two pieces for storage but it can be done. On the down side, the chain that operates the motion is a problem. From the beginning it didn't work well with the prescribed number of links. I removed about 5 links and then It worked great for about two weeks. We have the motor and the motion does loosen some of the track connection so they need strengthening after play. After a couple of weeks of about 5 to 10 minute of play a day on average the chain started making clinking noises and jerking the carts. Today we actually had a "casually" when a cart fell off the tracks :o. Now I'm having trouble finding the sweet spot. How long the chain needs to be? Contacted customer service but didn't hear back yet. Hope lego agents put a comment here so other people who have this problem can see it
