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

Roller Coaster Engineering
Looks good on box. Christmas present for my son so not opened yet.

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.

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.

Fun for gifting
This is fantastic for engineering. Putting it together is fun to do together and takes time away from screens. Very nice for teaching in past, the engineering of a large scale item. It's a very large piece and will make a fantastic gift. Loads of fun and long battery life.
