8 yrs. can enjoy building this coaster but it takes time. Some directions less evident than on other knex models as far as three D or color. Sometimes a piece appears in next section as connecting to larger part that was not in the building section on prior page. We were missing two micro connectors and it can be replaced but not easily over internet. It is all worth it when it works and the coaster is cool. cph

I love the hanging stuff on it. I feel like a opened up a ride!! It was durable! If you are buying this, make sure you don't put it near your pets. Especially cats! Never put it near a cat. Well I'm allergic to them! (laughing). Anyway, it's a good toy and I recommend this for smart people and know how to read.

The frame of the coaster went together easy enough, although it is tricky at times to determine whether you are supposed to be using the micro or regular size pieces. The absolutely maddening, throw the thing out the window, frustration came when it was time to apply the track to the frame. The track segments are straight and although they are flexible, the want to stay straight and not comply with the tight curves. They expect the track to make some unbelievable twist and turns. The clips that couple the track to the frame are nowhere near strong enough to beat the physics of a straight piece of plastic trying to stay that way. After a full hour of messing with the track part of this, we walked away. We came back later and spent yet another full hour fighting this part of the assembly. The pieces of track are together and in the general shape it's supposed to be in but the clips won't hold it to the frame. If you get one section to hold it comes undone when you go to secure it the next. After hours of work we have what amounts to a very cool looking, very expensive Tinker Toy. Other K'Nex toys may be okay, this is our first, but we will NEVER buy anther coaster. Save your time, money and sanity by passing this toy over and buying something else.
