LEGO Icons Loop Coaster Set 10303, Model Building Kit for Adults, Amusement Park Funfair Track with Passenger Train, Great Gift Idea

I built this with my 10 year old Granddaughter. We would alternate bags and she did half of the build. She would stop building to play with the coaster at every addition of track. It is so important to be exact on this build, and everything pressed in completely. Our main problem was the lift and the cars exiting the lift at the top - the alignment was off, and the counterweight was slow. Manually operating the coaster you could nudge it into place, and manually nudge the counterweight, but add the motor and it was a disaster. Finally figured out the string at the top was not aligned correctly. The string was on the one slot of the wheel on the counterweight side, and on the opposite slot of the wheel on the elevator side. Once it was in the correct slot on both wheels it works perfectly with the motor - no issues. My grand daughter plays with this set more than any other set. It is her favourite. Just have to figure out where it will go, as it is so tall. I have to build an extension on our table.

This is is definitely one of the most awesome sets I've ever bought. It is extremely well designed and has so many awesome features. I do wish they would have put some empty spots in the set to put the added accessories (bench, map, hotdog, balloon and pretzel vendors). The set is very sturdy. It can easily be carried from one table to another. There are some stickers, but not too many. There is some repetition, but not enough to bore you. The biggest flaw in this set would have to be the elevator. It took a bit of tweaking around and removing some of the chain pieces to get it to function perfectly. But the good news is that it works perfectly now. Overall, this set is definitely recommended to any theme park fan, especially if you have the Ferris Wheel, Carousel, Fairground Mixer and other Roller Coaster.

This was my second major Lego set construction. (The other being the Lamborghini). I enjoyed both builds but with the Loop Coaster you can interact with it after completion. For me it worked flawlessly and no missing pieces. Whenever I thought I had a missing piece or something didn't quite fit correctly, I went back and checked my build and sure enough I had used the part somewhere else by mistake or had missed fitting a part correctly. The instructions were great - the trick is to actually follow them! The only thing I objective to is squirrels not being allowed on the ride - I'm sure if I was a squirrel I would be very disappointed. :-)

I love the Loop Coaster. I got it for my birthday as I have wanted it for like, a year. I loved the building experience but the big blue tower thing with the elevator was a bit repetitive. Other than that, everything is perfect! I love playing with it seeing the cart go through the track! I bought lights separately and put them on the coaster! (Lights not included in actual product)

Great build and a lot of fun. It works effortlessly would of been great to offer with or without power option as this set is going to cost a lot if adding power function after

This set was a lot of fun to build - interesting support structures, slick design, very well thought out. That being said, you have to be spot on with the instructions, then build on your own to modify behavior you don't like. Cracking of gears, slipping of chain, misaligned lift, these are all fixed if you reduce chain length, check your axle connections, verify parts are put together right, etc. Some tweaks are always necessary - it's a precision machine after all. I personally was annoyed with the top part, and had issues with the counterweight coming off the track, the counterweight track coming loose, and the top separating. My fix for this is attached - top block is rebuilt completely - Teknic parts to both stabilize the counterweight wheel and apply pressure to keep it from separating - SNOT pieces added to hold the the top of the track. You may not be in the same position. The tweaking IS the fun part, but I think the key thing to remember is that if all is tight and it won't run stock for a minute or so, there is probably a build mistake and you should recheck things. If you want more than a minute or so of runtime before you need maintenance, it's time to customize. I didn't expect nor WANT perfection out of the box. This is Lego's coaster when it's stock, but now that I've tweaked it for me, it's MY coaster.

I received this for my Birthday, and it is STUNNING! But then again, there are some downs. The lift only properly works 10% of the time. It goes up perfectly every tingle time, but it just wont go down, it will just stay there, or sometimes only go down half way then stop. And at the top, the cart won't go from the lift onto the track, it will just get stuck. (I have attached an image on why this happens but there is no way to fix it). Now with the building experience, it is great, untill you get to the tower. It is SOOOOOOO REPETITIVE and it just got boring. But other than that, I LOVE this set! The path from the enterance to the waiting sone is very cute and I love the ladybird on the stairs! (I have attached an image showing the ladybird). It is the biggest set I own and it is great fun to play with and watch the cart go around the loops and tracks!

I think this is a very good lego set. It functions really well. I think if you're thinking of buying this, you need to keep in mind as it is massive - 92in tall, 85in wide. The only downside is that it's very difficult to build, especially the chain lift and that area. If your new to lego or only have built a few lego sets, i wouldn't recommend buying. But other than that, it is amazing. it works really well. I can't stop playing with it. Also building it was very fun.

First half of the building is great, second half when your building the tower can be repetitive but is so rewarding when you finish. And it is just amazing to watch the rollercoaster go round and the mechanisms working.

I was very excited to build. Everything went ok until the track. I'll have one piece in place and start the next and the first fell out. I will admit I moved it to a bigger spot and track I had in place toppled. I started again and found the more I worked the easier the track would fall apart. If it hadn't cost me so much I would have given up by now. Probably nobody will read this.
