A+++ winner! June 14, 2008
Katy S. (Bakersfield, CA United States)
Santa brought this to our home Dec. 2007. It was easy to put together and the kids just love it! I was able to order an additional "car" for it through Step 2. I would highly suggest that if you have more than one child or having kids over a lot, it's well worth the investment for the extra car.
It makes the fun extra exciting because the kids don't have to wait as long to ride on it with two cars.
It's sturdy and it can be moved around easily.
Our family gives this fun ride an A+++!!! Worth every penny spent!

We love this coaster!! My son is 8 and he just loves this coaster! He actually works on something similar at his OT sessions for muscle tone and motor skills, so it is great that we can "work" in our own backyard! And he plays on it for hours, something that I can not say about most toys. Well worth every penny, especially the shipping! We tried to buy this in the store but couldn't fit it in the car! It's pretty big!

WOW! This was the best present for 2007. Like others have said, it takes up some room. We have ours on a sidewalk that is on a down slope so the kids probably roll about 30 yards total and they go into our neighbors yard. All three of my kids love it. My youngest son is 1 1/2 and he can do it but he needs a shove to start. My 3 and 8 year old both fight for a turn so we had to have a discussion about sharing.
Assembly: This is the only maddening part of the thing. The instructions look like a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy. It would have been easier if it was in color as well. I consider myself pretty handy, but it took me almost two hours to assemble. Not all the holes lined up so I had to drill out a hole to make up for one. This is pretty disconcerting, and I don't think most people would like to do it. Otherwise it is not too bad. Step 2 would do a lot better if they improved their quality control. Is it too much to ask for a pilot hole for a screw? Finally, read very carefully in the instructions for the use of the different size screws. There is a little picture to hold the screw against to see if you have the right ones except for the one step that uses the longer size screws. For that step you need to read the sloppy microprint to see that you need a 3 1/8" screw instead of the more common 2 5/8" screw.
The end product is very sturdy and robust. All the kids have been crawling over it. It can hold an adult.(tested and verified)
Safety: It is pretty safe. No one has falled off yet. The car is in little tracks so it cannot go off sideways. The only danger would be if someone is in the way when you go down. The car would take someone out so we made a big deal out of it with the kids. So far so good.
I would highly recommend this toy. It is a hit, but be prepared for a little frustration putting it together.
Santa Scored BIG with this toy! December 26, 2007

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RU66NJOYOEC9G Santa left a fully assembled Extreme Coaster outside for my almost 4 yr old and was it a HIT! He could not wait to get outside and ride it! In fact, my 9 yr old asked what the weight limit was and promptly hopped on the scale to see if he exceeded the 75 lb limit. Weighing in at exactly 75 lbs, we let him ride it too. Despite the frigid New England air and ice glazed snow on the ground, the boys bundled up and had a fantastic time! Santa is definitely getting "his" money's worth!
Awesome toy!!! September 12, 2007

My kids ages 6 and 4 absolutely love the extreme coaster!!! It has given them hours of fun!!! It is also a big hit with their friends!! Very durable! The only thing is you really need space to set it up because it does fly and if not you will be crashing into things.
