This is probably best outdoor toy I've ever seen. Well worth the price, made well, so sturdy and so much fun. 3 year olds enjoy, 8 year olds enjoy it...just enough speed and thrill to keep them entertained. You need a lot of outdoor space (and flat preferably) for this one. We got creative and built a ramp to extend the useable track space. We have some friends whose boys (8 and 6) use it as a slide directly into their pool! Probably not recommended by Step 2 but oh so fun!

My kids love this coaster- I have a one year old, 4 year old and 8 year old and they will all play on it for hours. The neighbors and cousins love it too- we are now considered the fun house. It’s great paired with our trampoline(works like stairs) and I don’t have to worry about them falling off the trampoline when trying to get off. It’s also great exercise- even my 16 month old will try to walk the car up by herself so she can go for another ride. I recommend this to all of my friends and family- totally worth the money!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this as a Christmas gift for my two-year-old grandson because he loves the one at his sitter's house. It arrived exactly as described ("3 large boxes") and was easy to assemble. Set it up in the basement so he could enjoy it throughout the winter. It is a sturdy, well-designed product and he s having a blast ! :)

We gave this to our grandsons, ages 7 and 3 and they were thrilled. We can see that it will be fun for them and their friends for a long time. The product is made well, but was somewhat frustrating for my husband and son-in-law to assemble it. My husband, who is very skillful at assembling anything from cars to airplanes fortunately had washers in his tool kit to place between the bolts and plastic and indicated that the bolts would have worked much better if they were about a quarter of an inch longer. I am considering purchasing another one for my other grandson based on the finished product and fun, but I would hope that this feedback will perhaps help Step 2 and any buyers to realize that this would be something that would greatly help with the assembly.

Took me and my neighbor about an hour to put together. Nother was labeled like the packet stated. There isn't drill holes so using a basic screw driver will take FOREVER. There was extra pieces which got me stressed but over all my kids love it dearly and wish they had the cars so I can have more for five kids to play on.

I'm very excited about the Extreme Roller Coaster but since it will be a Christmas gift for my grandchildren, it is still in the boxes. I did peek into the boxes and I think it will be a sturdy piece of equipment. Step 2 always makes quality products so I am not worried. I can't wait to see their faces when they see it! I gave it a 4 because of it still being in the boxes. I'm unable to make an accurate review at this time.

Overall, a nice little coaster. My husband put it together in about 45 minutes. But, once again, like with the playhouse, there were several screw holes that were not drilled or not drilled all the way through. It was also missing several washers for the screw/nut sets, but we luckily had some spare ones. My kids are small for their age (3), but they are able to push the car back up the ramp by themselves. There are notches in the top for the wheels so that the car doesn't start to go down the ramp before the kids are ready, though I wish the green walls were a little higher on the top for added safety.

This toy is absolutely awesome! My kids LOVE it. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the assembly kit was missing 4 of the essential washers for assembly. As this was a Santa present, we didn’t start putting it together until 11pm and had to scramble for over an hour trying to find parts that would work temporarily. It was a huge hassle, but I am now waiting for my replacement parts to arrive. We managed to make it work, but it could have been a huge disappointment for my kids on Christmas morning.

My boys love this! It's like an overpriced slide that you need a LOT of space for. Luckily my parents had a place we could move this to in their yard because we ran out of space in ours that would allow them to fully use it ( without crashing into our fence). It's fun for ages 2-10.

I had this vision of having it put together for my son to see on Christmas morning and be so excited and say "WOW" but that didn't happen... My husband was putting it together (it takesa while) Christmas eve night only to find out that there weren't enough washers and he could finnish it! What a disappointment... We ended up putting it in the basement and haven't had the time to get washers to finnish puttung it together. So I couldn't tell you how my son likes it. But since you email me me several times to write a review... here you go.
