Terrasher Posted April 17, 2018 Anyone wanting to see the picture, someone just uploaded it to the lego subreddit. Sort by new and it shouldn't be too hard to find. The Chinese website didn't say much. Nothing about size or price, I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricked1980 Posted April 17, 2018 The Brick built "Coaster" lettering reminds me of the lettering on Downtown Diner. I wouldn't be surprised if this is also a Mike Psiaki design. I believe last year's Carousel was designed by him as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badbob001 Posted April 17, 2018 Wow, have we seen so many white round 2x2 bricks since classic space? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoth Rebel Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) I will replace those round bricks by some sturdier looking core, but I suppose they choose this solution to keep the costs down. I also count at least 11 minifigures so that's nice. Edited April 17, 2018 by Kevii23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are probably Technic axles in those supports, which a 2 x 2 round brick accepts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, seems most likely, but I don't like the look of it. The round bricks look cheap :p But maybe it looks better in HD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leaked photos including the ones that leaked for the Ferris wheel before release made it look bad. Official images come out a few days later (usually a Friday) when they showed them, I changed my mind about not getting it. I hope this Rollercoaster is not deeper than the ferriswheel. If it is the same depth, it will fit nicely on my display shelf. I cannot wait! Lego is really eating my wallet this year. And after this Rollercoaster we still have Voltron coming, another pricey set. Coaster is estimated to be $350 USD and €320 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aukevin Posted April 17, 2018 I think it looks great! Maybe LEGO will sell individual rail pieces like they do train tracks so we can make it even bigger! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Already have one. Legoland Billund released it for €19.99. Its all grey track though. 4 straight rails, 8 curves. And 3 coaster train cars. Doesn’t have any drop rails though. I think they released it early though. Too early likely. Edited April 17, 2018 by ncx Added Coaster Train info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roebuck Posted April 17, 2018 This was the easiest set to predict in a while after joker manor was released! It looks nice, but I hold firm to the decision not to buy the fairground sets, but it is hard at times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricked1980 Posted April 17, 2018 I notice someone has created a vid on YouTube showing and discussing the leaked coaster image. I still think this set looks as if it will be awesome. Just wondering how stable the whole thing will be though with all those tall columns making up the framework of the structure. I bet it will be a pig to move around once it's built.

Terrasher Posted April 17, 2018 Anyone count the studs to estimate the size? A redditor said about 48x96, which makes sense. I estimate the height to be about 50 bricks tall, so about 50cm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I estimate the height to be about 50 bricks tall, so about 50cm. It's 48 studs in depth for sure. If you count the studs you can see on the image it's 40 studs and missing a few so 48 makes sense. I hope it's 96 long, but you can't really see it. Really interested in the height as well as my display shelf is 55cm high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LegoModularFan Posted April 17, 2018 Very interesting. It looks huge and that brick-built lettering is really awesome! Can't wait to see the official images! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falconfan1414 Posted April 17, 2018 Rollercoaster I think has around 3400 pieces Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eaglefan344 Posted April 17, 2018 I didn't have plans to pick up any of the fairground sets but this looks like a must have. Hopefully the ferris wheel stays around for a few more months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lostdriveway Posted April 17, 2018 Finally some pics! Wasn’t expecting another different track colour but I’m not complaining. Pretty much the same configuration that I was expecting with the track pieces that had already been released in other sets. Looking forward to getting this and hoping the AUD price isn’t too crazy!

Terrasher Posted April 18, 2018 I really hope TLG keeps releasing fairground sets for a long time. There is a ton of material out there! Personally, I'd be extremely happy if the next set were one of those rides where the seats are held by chains and fly around as the ride turns (like the one seen in the background of the leaked Rollercoaster image). I know someone made an Ideas project that was kind of like what I'm describing - a set like that would be amazing. A pendulum ride would be great, too.

From what I've seen so far, the lettering has to be one of my favorite parts of this set, especially in its construction of the letter 'S' built in contrasting Earth Blue.

Withacee Posted April 18, 2018 Oh, Gordon Bennett, this looks terrific! Nice stalls, too. And optional power functions. Cotton candy, a few decent figs, by the looks of it, great brick-built sign. Shiny! It's mine. Mine, I say! Noticed the next fairground set for 2019 in the background? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what they're called but it's one of those tall tower things that lifts people up to the top and then drops them back down. I wonder if this could be a candidate for a future set.

Withacee Posted April 18, 2018 1 minute ago, Bricked1980 said: one of those tall tower things that lifts people up to the top and then drops them back down Yes, it looks like one of those free-fall towers. Or else, a futuristic giant's stride. I remember the roller coaster was in the background in the pictures of previous fairground sets, so it's definitely a possible hint. But let's get this one first. Official pictures shoulndn't be too long now, I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
