LEGO Loop Roller Coaster Review

I wasn't a fan of LEGO Fairground Sets until today...
The LEGO 10303 Loop Coaster is a beast of a LEGO set on so many levels! Come and find out why in my early review.

Fun Fact: The drop down is a L, the 2 loops are the Os, and the bottom turn is a P, which spells LOOP

[@adriansrsa90]

omg that actually really cool 😁

[@lucaseverett3984]

I never noticed that thanks for sharing

[@ash.mystic]

Whoa neat!

[@astrobot3038]

Bit of a stretch to call that bottom turn a “P”.

[@FunkyDgoofy_YT]

That’s kinda cook

[@TheB3]

I absolutely LOVE how they include all 4 banned items in the set, giving you a chance to break all the rules at the same time, or reenact the stories behind WHY the items were banned in the first place. So many imaginative opportunities... Great review!

[@acollectorslifeforme4201]

This is one of the top Lego display pieces I’ve ever seen. If someone has a collectibles/Lego/toy storefront I could easily see this as a showcase piece with the power function installed.

[@Not.TravisScott]

Me too

[@randomphil8666]

I remember when KNex used to be popular and Toy stores used to have motorised Ferris wheels or Carousels etc made out of it in the shop windows. It was always exciting to see as a kid.

[@acollectorslifeforme4201]

@@randomphil8666 totally agree, it’s also what made FAO Schwarz so popular, being able to see and touch the displays operating outside of the toy box. This set has that appeal to me and the functionality sets it apart from being just another model kit type set.

[@AdamJasper18]

The one thing I was worried about was how quickly the lift would be able to get back to the bottom. I'm very glad it manages to beat the carts to the bottom even with the ride only last a few seconds.

[@loganstrong5426]

Even if it doesn't, there's the stopper mechanism so it won't break itself. The whole mechanism is blowing my freaking mind...

[@Blutankalpha]

This just doesnt feel like an official lego set

[@moronsmorons8913]

You're actually the only reviewer, who doesn't waste my time. You're always on point, you don't use fillers and lengthy explanations and it's still entertaining. Speaking as an engineer. I do like the bold colors of the set, kids will like it.

[@Xhadp]

As a person who had one of those Knex roller coasters I was hoping this would be more of a stripped down roller coaster that focused on just the roller coaster elements instead of having the set be half theming half roller coaster. Plus having a purely coaster dedicated set would also help out the enthusiasts by getting a better bang for their buck on coaster-specific pieces.

[@Wdast]

I agree with this, I am a massive enthusiast, and while this set looks great, I feel like we need some cheaper coaster sets, that focus on layout and theming rather than just one!

[@intocoasters]

Although its not a LEGO brand, but it is compatible. Search for CDX blocks. No-fluff coaster kits. Lower friction wheels as well. Longer layouts possible.

[@randomphil8666]

I think that price is the real killer for me. I think the old coaster actually looks cooler, but having two loops is a decent ride if there was somehow a way to connect them together into an even larger coaster that might have been sweet!

[@UnbelievablySimple]

You probably could connect them together if you tried

[@gj9157]

You could buy more track pieces and expand it.

[@joevictor53]

@@gj9157 You don't even need more track pieces. Other people have connected the old one and the new one and made it work with just some smaller pieces to connect them

[@TommyLikeTom]

That's the most action I've ever seen in a lego product

[@PBJ_Builds]

I appreciate your sincere reviews. Thank you for adding the power functions so we could witness the coaster in automation--so helpful.

[@braxlucky5718]

Lights on this build are going to look amazing specially if they put lights around the loop sign.

[@PoilQC]

I noticed that Lego are making a LOT of errors in their instructions booklets recently. Not a huge concern but the quality control could be improved.

[@sebastianmitderaxt203]

Quality is going downhill since a few years in general. The color deviations LEGO has on some colors (lime green, red, white) is atrocious, especially for their price range.

[@rudragupta2491]

@@sebastianmitderaxt203 on my Technic Sian color difference between the green pieces is horrendous

[@cvayta]

I agree, many unnecessary errors in instructions that should be obvious recently. At least it has never been a real issue so far.

[@sebastianmitderaxt203]

@@rudragupta2491 I can't prove it, but the best guess as to why is: different factories in different regions are designated for specific parts. As in one factory only has the molds for standard technic beams, 1 other factory has the molds for the panels and 1 other has the molds for the small stuff like connectors and 1x1 lift arm pieces and such. And all factories have different suppliers for color pigments or colored plastic (depending if lego colors their plastic themselves or if they buy colored plastic grain) and thus have slight color differences. The Sian is a prominent example of this, but I hear the Creator Fiat 500 was even worse. Even the backside of the new Pyramid set has color changes in the tan pieces

[@hilliebert25]

There’s a reason the mustard is so expensive: there’s no mold for that yet! :P As soon as I saw the first image on Reddit I was like: ‘that’s it, that’s my first €150+ set.’ Yes I know it’s big. Yes I know I probably don’t have any space. But you know what they say: where there’s a will, there’s a way (or at least, they say that in The Netherlands) and in this case: where there’s a will, there’s SPAAAAACE. I will literally create the universe’s first pocket dimension if that’s what it takes. I love this in every way possible.

[@cheemsdoge977]

Imagine all the previous roller coaster and carnival sets all together as a massive amusement park... It'd be massive

[@TiagoCatarino]

[@huaiwei]

I do have all the previous sets. I think I need a new house to display them all at once. 🤣

[@tylerkingery]

@@TiagoCatarino you should combine the old coaster and new coaster with extra track pieces

3:50 the little boy uses Jay’s torso form the Ninjago City Gardens set, so that one isn’t new.

[@onelogue]

Ok I was on the fence but I’m getting this! As an engineer, this definitely excites me.

[@pewpewdragon4483]

I think at some point, the huge size of a set loses its appeal when it becomes too large. For sure its impressive to see, but kind of excessive to own. The way this coaster moves is quite satisfying to watch though and does justify the height, although I would still prefer more track than supporting structure. Speaking of track, it's very nice how they included so many 'spares' in this set for alternate builds. I really like a lot of the little design decisions in recent sets such as this one, too bad the prices are going way up.

[@fluffnose3386]

Can confirm! I have the Titanic set and now that I’ve spent so much time with it, the size is much less impressive. Still an unbelievably amazing set, but honestly it’s mainly the small details that does it for me.

[@huaiwei]

I do believe they kinda have "little choice" for sets like this one. If the rail cars are minifig-scaled, then they need a certain amount of momentum to clear the track. And to clear that track, you will need a certain height to make it work. I am going to buy it, even though I have no space for it right now! :D

[@rebelfriend8817]

I wish the ride was a bit longer, considering it’s 400 dollars

[@BrickHQ]

It's an amazing set, with very impressive engineering. However besides for the loops there's not much track, it should be longer. There is some extra track in the set by the roof of the entrance, so I'm looking forward to see MOCS of this set. The track is in the shape of the letters of loop.

[@vert_exium]

true. wish it was a lot cheaper though. if you're considering price per part, this is significantly higher. you could get two of the lego saturn fives for 240 dollars (plus shipping and etc), and you'd have significantly more pieces. then again, they may lower the price considering the saturn v used to cost like 350 dollars

[@rebelfriend8817]

@@vert_exium Price per piece I think it’s pretty good. Saturn V is an older set and inflation has gone up a ton, plus considering all the special track pieces and mechanisms for the elevator I think it’s decent.

Awesome review Tiago. We are already excited to add this to our Fairground collection, but the mechanism engineering you detailed here makes me even more interested. In an aside, after paying US$14.50 for a stuffed pickle corn dog at Disney last week, those basic dog prices are very affordable. 🙂

[@chrispdo]

I'm happy it has a lot of spare tracks because If I ever buy this i want it to be a complete ride. The only think I don't like from that set is that it's not a complete ride. So considering the spare tracks and the long chain that this set provides I don't mind it because It seems customizable at least to make it a full ride.

The set looks really cool. Just 2 things i wish they had done different. 1 add a way to fold the tower itself back over it self, so you could easily save half the height when not in use. Second add a bit more track, since it wouldn't really take up more space.
