hello everyone this is the Lego creator expert rollercoaster there's a lot to
talk about here I'm gonna give you some comparisons for size to show you just
how this stacks up to some recent large sets I'm going to show you the
minifigures I'm going to show you how you can connect power functions to this
that are not included in the set to make it run on its own but let's just start
with a demonstration of how it actually works when it's moving everything kind
of begins and ends right here at the front where you have some hand controls
for making things move and you have the cueing lines for where your minifigures
would line up to wait for the next coaster to come through they give you
two of these three-car little coaster trains now these have the the dark as
your color on them you see and then there's this other one back here which
is on a separate track a little separate section of track with just the blue
color you can connect these together but it's really designed to work best with
just three in a row but I'll show you how you can actually switch between the
Train little groupings of cars a little bit later on but yeah basically your
figures come through here got the nice little gates one figure gets into each
this uses the same system that was introduced last year with the Lego
Batman movie Joker land set so these relatively new tracks and they've got
all the potential sizes and shapes of them that they've made so far are in
this set in various ways they're very smooth and then these little cars little
coaster cars themselves actually have train wheels on the underside so let me
just very quickly show you that right now so you see what we're dealing with
but I've got I'll just disconnect these these can be pulled apart so they hold
themselves together pretty well but this is a special material here actually the
outside and the inner both materials that are designed to work together
really well to self lubricate you don't need to oil this but it stays moving
very very smoothly so you get a lot of momentum and it doesn't waste momentum
the system works really well and I will show you presently but yeah let's just
get right into before we get into too many of the
details this is a break which will stop the train when it's
coming through and it also has a turning tire behind there which allows you to
advance the the current train along now it's a little bit rough right there it
has a little bit of a bump at each car but you move it you move it and then you
do it one last time with this crank right here you just turn it and the last
one will get it going around the corner to set it up for its big rise up the
hill now this uses a very long length of Lego's smallest chain there are 203
individual links here that you have to put together one by one but those extend
all the way up to the highest point at the very top and then there's another
system to get it to turn the corner once you're up there and the chain loops all
the way back so it's a continuous loop all the way down and you can operate
that as well from the other side there was the second knob you may have seen
previously but I'm just going to use a little little shortcut here a little
different different thing that I can turn from this side just to demonstrate
how that works so it's just gonna pull all of these cars up and it works pretty
well it actually goes a little bit faster if you're using the proper crank
but I did want to demonstrate it from here there's no chance of them sliding
back so they are held in place very well and then once you get to the very top it
transitions to a little bit of a different system and once it gets to the
top you're no longer powered by the chain link instead you have these rubber
tires that are now just moving one car at a time you're just passing them along
and there we go a little bit stuck there but that's okay there's a little bit of
rubber band action that makes sure there's always friction always tension
on that and once you get past the third tire here's the second one here's the
third one back over here you get past the third
one and off you go
now you can make things go much faster using the hand controls I'll show you
how it really works here it's so much faster and it's pretty efficient pretty
smooth and pretty reliable just advance that on and go ahead and
take it up one more time I'll show you some more different features such as if
you want this to just keep going rather than stopping you can do multiple laps
that's what this arrow represents here so rather than having that break there
that you have to kind of ratchet the thing past you can push this in retracts
that completely and I'm just gonna do a very quick lap here run the thing up and
around now when the train comes back it's gonna
bypass the station and go right back it's a lift section so I can just keep
it going
watch how easy it is to swap to the other set of cars active on the line you
just pull this out go ahead and advance them bring your other set in and retract
them or kind of park them for a little more action you can actually put both of
the sets of three cars onto the track at the same time on the same track you just
want to queue them up so I'm going to get this one ready move that back and
start elevating the first one up and then the key here is it's all up to the
operator you want to advance this one to the lift at the time that the other one
is basically going around
you can get all six cars connected like I mentioned though Lego I believe
doesn't recommend it and it makes things just a little bit rough at the top of
the lift but you do need to remove the nose piece from one of these to expose
the coupler if you want to connect them together input maybe a couple of these
pieces back but you do need to leave a little bit of that open and then just
connect them together it actually looks really cool going around but likes it
just at the top it's a little bit rough a little bit notchy so right there
where it's still at the tail end still on the chain but then these parts are
being pulled through with tires they want to move at a different rate so it
skips just a little bit but then once it goes it goes
it pretty much couldn't be any easier to set this up with power functions to put
it on a continuous loop you just need to buy your own battery box and standard m
sized motor and it basically just plugs right in with no modifications required
they also accommodate the boost system so if you have a boost box and standard
motor you can plug those right in and they even have a little bracket to hold
on to the boost optical sensor so if you want a sound to play every time the
coaster comes by then you can do that with your tablet
let's talk about the primary construction here so obviously there are
a ton of to buy to buy one regular round white bricks how many exactly 530 of
them in this set and if you think it's fully repetitive well it's not like for
instance this beam here is constructed differently from the very next one if I
move to the next one pass that on the same row this one is also different
right here looks like these two here are the same I think usually through the
build it was like you build two of the same sometimes four I think the most
that I ever built the same was six possibly there was there was one design
that was done eight times but you do change back and forth quite a lot and
you don't do too many of them in a row they switch you back and forth between
doing the round posts and doing some of the connector clips these are removable
segments and in fact they specifically designed this entire coaster to be split
in two so this is the splitting point right here you pull apart right here
yeah snap this out you snap this out and then there are a couple others sorry
about the focus there a couple others beyond that would allow you to take the
whole thing apart to just split it into two major sections which makes it a
little bit easier no a lot easier to move if you ever do want to move this
thing I highly recommend that you do split it apart takes a little extra time
but it is worth it because if something goes wrong while you're moving this
trying to move the whole thing together it will go very very very wrong and it
can take a long time to repair so just take your time split it apart and that
will help this sign well while I'm looking at it this sign is pretty simple
actually but looks really good they do include a fair number of these slightly
darker than usual pearl gold coloured rollerskate pieces there are some a
little kiosk we'll see in a minute but with all of these all of these columns
all of these posts that mostly have axles going through them to make
stronger and with all these cross members of them diagonal you know
clipped together I expected this to be a very strong
structure stronger than it kind of looks from a distance but it's not it's it's a
little bit flimsy everything is ready to move you know ready to come apart a lot
of these joints between tracks are very easy to pop up so even if you just kind
of shift the thing on a table from one place to another if you hit it if you
put any any weight on one and any of these vertical members you will likely
do something like that which can cause a little stopping point or a slowing point
for the cars as they go by so every once in a while just push down at each of
these joints between multiple track sections and if you see the cars ever
hopping or stopping where they don't belong then just check for that
definitely not as strong of a structure as I expected whatsoever but it does the
job as long as you're just kind of leaving everything alone and playing
with it as as designed for little details there's an automatic camera
along side the longest drop little flag in the middle of this 180-degree turn a
tornado or twister sign in the middle of a 720 degree downward spiral and when
you get back up to the top of the lift you may have noticed thee do not stand
up sign which is another sticker with a couple of flags around it looking more
closely near the starting gate I did want to point out this technique used
for the awning here which we will also see used in the Ninjago city dock set
that's coming up they just recolored that little chute piece which has also
been used as a large car wing or as a bulldozer blade in the past they've
recolored adhere to dark blue there's a little control stand with a printed
console piece for an employee to operate the coaster your little minifig riders
are expected to enter from the front left corner of the build with this
45-degree corner build for a ticket booth the whole thing is attached to the
base with just a single stud in the center but then it's also clipped to
the corner track up above they used some 45-degree corner tiles which are a new
piece for 2018 to make that work pretty well and also in there you see more of
the gold roller skate pieces and then your figures are intended to walk along
the dark tan pathway back there this is not the most camera friendly space to
navigate through but I'll do what I can it does look nice and the path kind of
meanders around you got some some plants there's a little pond down there that
looks pretty nice with a little gold statue represented by a nugget in the
center of it this lady is actually walking backwards but maybe she just
wanted to get some juice from the frozen juice stand there which uses white and
the light yellow color actually like this and you can pull this out if you
want to use it elsewhere you just want to see it better
like the sign up above and you got a lot of those half round tile pieces used
around the edge of the awning and a blender over there just a single sticker
on the front looking at that from the outside notice the fence pieces down
below use the brick heads square style glasses frame so one piece over here one
piece over there nice parts usage but a little bit difficult to see and then I
believe this is the first time that Lego has officially used this technique to
create the look of a tree so they're using the relatively recent foliage
pieces the leaf pieces and also the very new flower stem pieces which have the
hollow hole on the top of them so you can stack them more easily and those are
just brown colored down below and then they use the six stem piece up above
which is done in dark orange continuing along the interior pedestrian pathway
though just before you get to the stairs to take you up to the ride or the cue
for the right they've got one of those measurement boards to make sure that
you're tall enough to safely ride there the stairs going up to the platform and
above that a row of signs showing you a bunch of
things that you cannot do or cannot be once the ride is complete you would exit
towards the front take this second staircase back down to the pathway and
that will wind you back out towards the ticket booth but on the back of the
ticket booth is where you can pick up the photo of yourself that was taken by
that automatic camera on the big dive this is another area that's very
difficult to get a camera into but let me pull out those photos so you can see
those more closely these are pretty fun and each one has just a micro sized
story to tell and these are based on the figures in this set at the farthest back
most corner is another pond and I think this is supposed to be a natural feature
more than man-made and around the corner from that is a little rest spot with a
bench that uses the cars three spoilers for the back rest and then there's also
a map of this park notice the only feature this roller coaster the ferris
wheel and the carousel and then an entrance which I don't know if they're
going to make into an actual set but fairground mixer is not included here
there's also one additional tree at this corner with an identical bill to the
last and in the background if you see some strange little orange thing back
there well looks like somebody's hat flew off they actually give you a couple
pieces underneath to hold that in place so let's look at the minifigures in this
set starting with the two employee figures here who interestingly are Lego
employees I don't just look like it from the front they have the full official
Lego employee figure torsos now both of them do this one also has an alternate
face nothing here but I guess this theme park was bought out by Lego it's now a
lego branded theme park even though there's no other Lego branding in this
set and they haven't used this branding for employees of the previous rides but
I guess they've decided to change that and I'm okay with it because I really
like getting Lego employees in LEGO sets you know official Lego employee figures
these two here are easily my favorite figures in the set especially like the
hair of the one on left and I like the expression of the
guy on the right he actually has two expressions so the idea I believe is
that he could come in to the park all confident and just happy to be here he's
like yeah I'm gonna go on a roller coaster right and then once he goes down
the main drop then he gets scared and I believe he's the guy who loses his
orange cap I'm happy to see the tan wool sweater used again that one was
introduced in the old fishing store and I think that one is just good to
occasionally spread through regular unbranded sets like this or non-licensed
sets like this the lady also looks very nice and very springtime II you know
very colorful and you get alternate faces for each of these here are a
couple more writers notice the torso on the left is not the light blue or light
to royal blue I think colored torso that's been around for a long time for
female figures it's a relatively recent one they're good to see new stuff coming
into circulation relatively simple prints from the back of course the one
on the right is mr. cool guy himself he doesn't even have an alternate
expression he just always looks exactly the same as we saw in the photograph
that was taken of him as he went down the scariest part of the ride we're
still going still more figures to see here two very happy
patrons another short hair application on a female figure good to see just for
the sake of variety of course the guy on the right there is going to have to
leave his camera behind before he goes on the ride but he does eventually go on
the ride because he has this alternate face so he doesn't fare all too well and
we see his picture taken like that and this way he has a napping or just
enjoying the sunshine and fresh air kind of alternate face so that's a useful one
for just hanging out on the bench over on the corner of the build or maybe
around the fountain in the center pathway I saved this one for last for a
handful of reasons first of all this is the only child sized figure in this set
with a child style face and the short legs they're in medium blue a relatively
uncommon torso used there but because of her height unfortunately she will not be
able to take the ride you know it's strange to see no kids or a minimum
number in this case just one kid in a set like this it's all about fun but
she's not able to go on the right unfortunately the only one but also she
has the cotton candy there which is just a fantastic build it's just the Beehive
piece upside down and then has a a nun printed minifig head stuck in the top of
it and those are just kind of connected together and it all just looks
absolutely perfect it's me well where does she get the cotton candy from my
cotton candy stand of course if you're waiting for this no I didn't forget
about it it's just the one fully separate build that's not attached to
the set at all you can place it in the inner pathway but it's best used around
the periphery like outside the main entranceway a nice little build using
the wheelchair wheels there have a 2 by 3 tile on the front with that one
sticker which looks really good then gets a little umbrella up above a little
keypad I don't know if that's for reading off a token or a ticket past or
something or if it's just intended to be a card reader it might just be a card
reader although they only include real money in this set no credit cards but
you know got the little little spinner there spinner drum has a few studs in it
you can open that up as well and it comes with a second cotton candy piece
so you can dole that out or just use it as a sample and they've got just the
thermometer on the side to make sure the sugar is coming out at just the right
temperature to give you that nice fluff the overall size of this monstrosity is
100 studs the long way so just over three base plates in length
it's 1 and 1/2 baseplates deep or 48 studs
honestly I've been kind of dreading this part of the video these size comparisons
because it requires moving some pretty large things around some of which were
in my city or on display various places but hopefully this will prove useful to
some of you so if you own any of these compared products or if you're familiar
with their sizes in general and you'll get an idea of just how big the Greater
expert rollercoaster really is I've tried to arrange the comparison objects
such that their center lines are all the same so you see the same average
distance to the camera hopefully that's the most fair way to look at it from one
angle but I'm giving you enough different examples to hopefully bypass
any form of doubt needless to say I feel the volume of stuff with this set is
very good even though it is a skeletal build you get something that is pretty
massive and most of its space is used and is there for a purpose the price
depart ratio on this set looks very good on the surface and I think it continues
to look good once you look at the specific parts there are 203 of those
little black chain link pieces but they are offset by a quite a large number of
very large and specialized and valuable track pieces as well as the cars I mean
you saw how this set just Dwarfs the $500 Deathstar the set is about as good
as I could have asked in its default build the only thing that I actually
haven't mentioned up to this point that I wish was better is rebuild ability
there's a lot of very very specific and complex legal arithmetic that's done to
make every single strut just end up in the correct place and have good
structural stability or enough structural stability even if it isn't
great but you know enough to keep things mostly in place as long as you don't try
to move the entire structure somewhere else but it would have been nice to have
like an easy rebuild to put this into a different configuration because I want
to be able to play with that track you know really do the Lego they
with the coaster parts and there is some of that that's possible with this set
with just the parts included I'm sure but if you want to make something that
is this sturdy and a completely different layout your most likely going
to have to add your home pieces I feel like this was a long enough video though
you're probably getting tired of listening to me so I will move on and I
will thank you for making it through this far hope that you've enjoyed this
look at this pretty impressive set and if you have
any thoughts about it that you would like to share with myself and the rest
of the viewers please feel free to leave a comment down below I will talk to you
again very soon because my next video is on the way
