Quercetti Skyrail Rollercoaster with Elevator, 200 Pieces Reviews :
Great toys for kids that like to put things together. My son was very happy and still plays with the toy.


I bought this for my daughter to build in her EXCEL class and it was so fun! She learned so much from it and had so much fun.


Reviews :
The set was a little intimidating for my 9 year old son when he got it. He built a couple of roller coasters of his own design that were not very good and then didn't play with this toy for a month. I decided to help him by putting together the elevator and that's when he started loving it. Every week he makes a very complex roller coaster and mixes this set with an icoaster set with the most amazing results. We clean it up on Saturdays and he starts a completely new design for the week. This toy helps develop creativity and common sense, and teaches some physics too. The pieces are a little hard to pull apart though so he helps himself with a small screwdriver. He loves it. I bought this set and other 3 skyrails since he does not like to build the models suggested in the instruction which is almost all you can make if you only have this set. I spent about $200-$250 and now he has enough pieces to make anything he wants. I recommend this toy but it is not for every kid. If they are really into roller coasters and can deal with a little bit of frustration at the beginning, then they will love it. Otherwise you will be stuck with a toy with a lot of tiny pieces, very hard to organize and you and your kid will be turned off by it.
