The 3,675-piece coaster is a sight to behold. It features not one, but two loops and it’s a whopping 92cm tall when built. And the attention to detail is second to none.
The model is complete with a train, a boarding station with opening barriers and even a control panel. What’s more, you’ll spot that there’s even a camera to take pictures of people on the ride, which are then displayed at the entrance.
Of course, there’s an elevator that brings the cart to the top of the track using a crank mechanism, but it can also be upgraded with power functions. Once it reaches the top the cart makes its descent and goes around the two loops on its own.
It looks like an immense buildable model that’ll undoubtedly be great fun, and it comes with 11 minifigures and a range of accessories, including a hot dog stand and a balloon seller to complete the theme park look.
It will be available to buy from 5 July and we predict it’ll be hugely popular, so make sure you act fast.
