5.0 out of 5 stars Santa Scored BIG with this toy!, December 26, 2007

Length:: 1:00 Mins

Santa left a fully assembled Extreme Coaster outside for my almost 4 yr old and was it a HIT! He could not wait to get outside and ride it! In fact, my 9 yr old asked what the weight limit was and promptly hopped on the scale to see if he exceeded the 75 lb limit. Weighing in at exactly 75 lbs, we let him ride it too. Despite the frigid New England air and ice glazed snow on the ground, the boys bundled up and had a fantastic time! Santa is definitely getting "his" money's worth!

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest Christmas gift of 2007, December 31, 2007

WOW! This was the best present for 2007. Like others have said, it takes up some room. We have ours on a sidewalk that is on a down slope so the kids probably roll about 30 yards total and they go into our neighbors yard. All three of my kids love it. My youngest son is 1 1/2 and he can do it but he needs a shove to start. My 3 and 8 year old both fight for a turn so we had to have a discussion about sharing.

Assembly: This is the only maddening part of the thing. The instructions look like a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy. It would have been easier if it was in color as well. I consider myself pretty handy, but it took me almost two hours to assemble. Not all the holes lined up so I had to drill out a hole to make up for one. This is pretty disconcerting, and I don't think most people would like to do it. Otherwise it is not too bad. Step 2 would do a lot better if they improved their quality control. Is it too much to ask for a pilot hole for a screw? Finally, read very carefully in the instructions for the use of the different size screws. There is a little picture to hold the screw against to see if you have the right ones except for the one step that uses the longer size screws. For that step you need to read the sloppy microprint to see that you need a 3 1/8" screw instead of the more common 2 5/8" screw.

The end product is very sturdy and robust. All the kids have been crawling over it. It can hold an adult.(tested and verified)

Safety: It is pretty safe. No one has falled off yet. The car is in little tracks so it cannot go off sideways. The only danger would be if someone is in the way when you go down. The car would take someone out so we made a big deal out of it with the kids. So far so good.

I would highly recommend this toy. It is a hit, but be prepared for a little frustration putting it together.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have! Well worth the price!, August 25, 2007

We ordered this toy and it has been a hit ever since! It takes up a decent amount of room, but it is worth the space. The kids are getting exercise every time they have to push the car back to the top of the slide. My two children (6 1/2 and 4) love, love, love it as do the kids on the block. It holds up to 75 pounds so I know we will get a ton of use out of it!

We ordered ours from Linens N Things and got to use a 20% off coupon! Well worth it.

I wish I could ride it!
