Build an
epic, looping roller coaster with blocks. What makes this kit especially unique
is that these blocks are compatible with other major block construction
systems, such as LEGO and Mega Bloks—which means that besides the initial
coaster, you can create endless new types of designs. Once the roller coaster
is finished, use the realistic chain with a crank handle to pull the cars to
the top of the hill and then watch gravity take them zooming down the track.
Coaster measures about 28” long when finished. Includes 539 pieces.
Publisher's Description of Flyer Roller Coaster
The Flyer is a block based (LEGO , Kre-o, Mega Bloks, etc.) roller coaster construction toy. It will be the first commercially available kit that combines the versatility of the world's leading building block system with the realism and excitement of the CoasterDynamix track system.
Each kit comes with over 500 pieces that work with any of of the major block construction systems!
These roller coaster sets will give you thrills you won't find even on the real thing! The thrill of creating and building your own roller coaster from the ground up! The thrill of using a realistic chain with a crank handle to pull your rollercoaster to the top of the initial big hill and watching it zoom around the track, pulled by g-forces alone! The roller coaster train comes assembled and has "precision machined metal wheels for high efficiency and smooth operation." The high quality, plastic roller coaster pieces are all compatible with the world's leading building block system (and others like it!), if you want to create new designs. The Little Dipper contains 332 pieces and the coaster measures 19" in length, the Flyer includes 539 pieces and measures 28" long, the Sidewinder contains 825 pieces and stretches 38" long, and the Cyclone contains over 900 pieces and the finished model reaches a whopping 48" in length! ~ Megan
