this is a nice set, but alone it is not too interesting. I have two, and when you build custom coasters with 2+, that's when it gets really fun. but not alone.
Really cool coaster!! - Reviewed on 2005-09-12

My son found this coaster on Amazon and couldn't wait to order it. He had built one similar to it during a summer science camp last year. The coaster is big and has great detail. The sound effects during the ride give us a little chuckle every time. My son had no trouble building the coaster. I think anyone with an interest in Legos or Knex will have a wonderful time with this project. Although, some younger kids may have difficulty with it. My son is 10 and was completely, happily absorbed in it.
Challenging but Fun K'Nex Project - Reviewed on 2005-08-27

This was clearly the most difficult K'Nex project that my son has completed to date. The directions were sometimes confusing to follow because the steps weren't always clearly spelled out. Once it was completed, we could get it to run properly (the car didn't have enough momentum to get around the loop). I'm sure that we must have missed a step somewhere along the way, but we couldn't quite figure it out. My son loved putting the roller coaster together though, which made the purchase worthwhile.

i'm 13 and i built this in 2-3hours. if you follow the instrucions its easy to build. its really bigger than on a screen. it takes a while for the cars to go up the hill but the rest is smooth sailing. the loop is the coolist part. if you don't build the loop to the strict intructions it will get stuck in the loop or not make it.
Fun after hours of assembly. - Reviewed on 2005-08-04

This is really a toy for children and adults to enjoy. Of course there are many parts, which took 10 hours to assemble. Needless to say, you need a large area, where it can be kept.
