LEGO Loop Roller Coaster Review

[@TiagoCatarino]

*LEGO sets in this video:* Loop Rollercoaster ❯ bit.ly/3QgEs2F Haunted House ❯ bit.ly/3PQZmnn

[@MoEdits.1]

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]

[@ash.mystic]

Whoa neat!

[@astrobot3038]

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

[@FunkyDgoofy_YT]

That’s kinda cook

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@TheBullyExplains]

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

[@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

[@fluffnose3386]

[@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.

[@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.

[@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. 🙂

[@michaelschlem2849]

6-16-22 Tiago, I was wondering something. So, I know that certain Lego MOC Builders tend to have signature styles that they make their builds in. Whether that be a more simplistic, smaller build style (like the Lego Transformer creator IXRollOutIX), Lego Sculptors (like Nathan Sawaya, the creator of the book and travelling exhibit "The Art of the Brick"), or the Many People who take Creator 3-in-1 Sets and either combine multiples of the same 3-in-1 Set or take Singular 3-in-1 Sets and show potential alternate builds for those 3-in-1 Sets. I am wondering whether the Official Lego Designers tend to have their own signature styles which they tend to use whenever they design a official Lego set. Like, even without knowing which Lego Designer made a new Set, a fellow designer and/or former designer could figure out (or at least have somewhat of a vague clue) which other designer designed that set. What would you say are the signature styles of different Official Lego Designers?

[@ministig63ace]

I was wondering the same thing too. It'd be amazing to see

[@TiagoCatarino]

I can’t pinpoint what it was, probably the smart angles and weird and unexpected connections, but a few pages in the Titanic and I correctly guessed the designer was Mike Psiaki. It also happened that I figured out who the designer for the Lightyear spaceship was, because I knew of a designer was pretty good with custom space ships, Chris Perron.

[@likebeemo1742]

I definitely want to buy this, I don’t mind the $399.99 retail price. I saw on legos website that VIP early access to this set begins starting on July 1st, so I created a VIP account. Does this mean I’ll be guaranteed to buy this set when July 1st hits? Or will bots and scalpers make sure this set sells out instantly? What are my chances of actually being able to get my hands on this when it launches?

If they are bumping the prices, I think it is end of the line for me. Shame since I only came back to LEGO recently after 16 years break.

[@BeerBourbonandGames]

One of the coolest looking sets I've seen, but $400 that's an easy pass. I already feel like most lego sets are overpriced so I'm not happy about the mention of them raising prices.

[@A__21]

but you have to remember that they need that 400$ for employees, engineers (i dont know what to call them but those who make the functionality of the ride), another employee that makes the book to show how it is made step by step, designers to make it look better and other LEGO sets also cost extra money for expensive licensing with more reasons for the high price which sounds reasonable if you know why they cost that much

[@corner559]

I'm not put off at all by the price given the number of specialized pieces it has.

[@BeerBourbonandGames]

@@A__21 I personally still think it's overpriced for what it is. I love lego don't get me wrong, but it's only going to get worse price wise. 400 sounds good because we accept the prices of smaller sets that I also think are overpriced. A good example of that is the trex breakout set. That should be 50 or 75 max. 100 is rough for the size.

Hey Tiago, great review! Unfortunately, mine started breaking apart after using it a couple of times. Seems to me that the counter-weight is too light by design.

[@AndrewElekArtistry]

I would love to figure out how to automate the motor to get the roller coaster to turn on once per hour. Like a cool grandfather clock

[@walz1986]

I doubt one thing in your video: The mechanism does not always work!!! There are a lot of recorded cases when the lift is not lifted high enough for the coaster to jump over and then it all crushes down when the lift is running down. Also there is a lot of stress pulling on the chain, and the chain is out of plastic so it will be stretched out, and there are also already recorded cases where the hole mechanism does not work because some pieces of the chain to wide or loose... So overall for that price it really does not work and is to expensive. For 400 € plus 70 € for the engine you should expect that the set is stable and could possibly run for a long time in your own entertainment park... But it probably won't last a week... And you then need a new lego sets (emergency rescue, construction lawyers, morque for the dead visitors, legal affair manager set...)
