Rollercoaster enthusiast
I wasn't sure if this would be too much for a 7 year old but he loves rollercoasters and building so figured we could build with him if needed. The step by step instructions were very helpful and after the first 2 simpler builds that were straight and a hill, my son was able to build this mostly by himself. He tested and manipulated the loops to get it working and then explored putting coins in the carriage to weight it as different positions and weights. It was really good fun and unintentionally educational. The cost was definitely worth it. As he gets older reading the book and the controlled experiments will be great. For now it is fun.

Excellent
My 9 yr old son’s favourite toy by far. Well made, instructed and lots of possibilities. Accompanying book is interesting and educational as well

Lacking quality.
It is nice for little rollercoaster fans once set up, but takes some time and definitely requires adult help to build. The spring function to set the roller coaster off doesn’t work very well so they have to manually pull it around making it less fun and definitely not what we expected. Some of the part also came damaged. I would have probably sent it back if it was not for my little one really wanting it.

So awesome for my new ones and I to bond over!
Nephew loves this and so do I. Worth the money spent and we had a lot of fun the whole time! I enjoyed teaching him a few things and easy cuz he loves to learn new things. Great way to bond!

nach 3 Nutzungen kaputt
Wir haben den Roller Coaster als Geburtstagsgeschenk gekauft. Das Spielzeug hat uns auf den ersten Blick begeistert, leider ist nach nur 2-3 Versuchen die Startrampe gebrochen((( Wir haben versucht, den Kundenservice zu kontaktieren, um zu fragen ob das Teil repariert oder ersetzt werden kann, leider gibt es diese Möglichkeit nicht. Für den Preis erwarte ich deutlich mehr Qualität.

Just Right Challenge
Kids loved this. It was a just right challenge for them to assemble. Worked well.

Good toy
Very fun, gear gift. It was a little hard at first but it got easier, follow the instructions. Pieces did keep coming apart, you have to push really hard. It worked really well and is really fun and educational. Should be more like $35.
