- Garbage
- This toy doesn't hold up well. The magnets are very weak, they are constantly misaligned. There are always gaps between them that make the ball fall off the track. It is virtually impossible to align everything. We are sending it back! for $90 it should work a whole lot better!

- Great Toy, but Bad Product.
- when I first bought the iCoaster, which we were lucky enough to get our hands on 2 of them, I thought it would be a fun, durable toy. Boy, was I wrong. A single gust of wind knocked over the whole iCoaster, which took over an HOUR AND A HALF to assemble. Also, the "instructions" just show you the finished produck of the iCoaster and they hope you put it together right. However, my son had a ball after he found out we had actually gotten one. He was messing around with it for hours. If only they had made this flimsy toy more stable, this would have been the top toy of 2007.

- Be patient!!!! Lot of work for a little fun.
- I don't think it is worth the money. If you are patient and start with the easy configurations it can be fun. I felt the instructions are hard to understand and the game easily falls apart. I think there is potential to gain some knowledge with physics and general pitch and fall. I am not sure it is worth the aggravation and trouble. Only build on solid surface. Start easy and stay patient. We have 5 boys ages 6-13. After it was put together by Mom and Dad they liked to watch it. They got bored very quickly.

- Fun Coaster
- I bought this toy for my granson. He had seen it advertised on TV and requested it for his holiday gift from me. He is 7 years old and after his father helped him to set it up the first time, he was able to do it himself. I think it is fairly creative because he can use his imagination to set it up in different ways. It is also educational because he learns about the properties of magnetism from this toy.

- Not worth the money
- We bought this for Christmas because our oldest son really likes to build things, and really likes roller coasters (watching them on YouTube, and playing Thrillville).
It's been frustrating at best. Sometimes the ball goes on the coaster rails, and sometimes it doesn't. One ball will go through, and the next ball falls off the coaster. The most exciting thing about this toy is the mp3 player interface. It does teach a little about physics - when it works.
All in all - don't waste your money. - 2007-12-31, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
