Прогуляйтесь по уютным дорожкам, выпейте сока, отведайте сладкой ваты и обязательно прокатитесь на невероятно увлекательном аттракционе Американские горки (lego 10261)! Это посещение парка запомнится Вам надолго!

Американские горки Lego Creator 10261

Данный набор является продолжением коллекционной серии аттракционов парка развлечений Lego Creator Expert, включающей в себя Колесо обозрения (lego 10247) и Карусель (lego 10257). В одном из уголков парка можно найти план-схему, на которой изображены маршруты к этим объектам. Из деталей набора собирается уголок парка развлечений со свойственной ему инфраструктурой. Здесь расположились:

тележка со сладкой ватой;

площадка для посадки и высадки пассажиров;

пункт выдачи фотографий, сделанных во время посещения Американских горок.

Главной изюминкой набора является протяженная трасса, таящая в себе огромное количество головокружительных виражей. По трассе неустанно катятся тележки с посетителями Американских горок. Вагончики имеют малую силу трения, поэтому проносятся по трассе с огромной скоростью. Главное – с помощью цепной передачи поднять их в верхнюю точку аттракциона, а все остальное сделает гравитация! Для приведения в действие механизма подъема тележек предусмотрен удобный рычаг, который вращается вручную. Желающим автоматизировать процесс достаточно подключить электродвигатель и батарейный блок системы Power Function (не входят в комплектацию набора) и с наслаждением наблюдать, как несутся тележки по трассе! К другим деталям управления набора относятся ручка запуска тележек и тормозной рычаг, позволяющий вагончикам остановиться в зоне посадки-высадки пассажиров.

На дополнительном пути расположился второй состав тележек, которые можно добавить к первым или запустить следом за ними.

В наборе lego 10261 продумана инфраструктура аттракциона: вокруг него достаточно уголков, где можно провести время после катания на горках. Красивый фонтан в обрамлении пешеходных дорожек и уютный прудик с лягушкой делают посещение парка незабываемым!

Купив набор Лего американские горки, Вы получите один из самых больших наборов в истории Lego с невероятным количеством сюжетных линий и огромными игровыми возможностями! В состав набора, помимо большого количества игровых аксессуаров, входят 11 минифигурок:

продавец сладкой ваты;

8 посетителей парка.

В собранном виде размеры Американских горок составляют 88х41х53 см в длину, ширину и высоту соответственно.

The fairground sub-theme of LEGO® Creator continues in 2018 with the thrilling 10261 Roller Coaster. Sven Franic has braved the ride to bring you info on all the new parts in this 4080-piece set, priced £299.99 / US$379.99 / 329.99€ and on general sale from 1 June 2018.

When the new roller coaster tracks were first introduced last autumn, I think we all knew TLG hadn’t made six new elements purely for the Joker Manor. It was just a matter of time before we saw the first ever official roller coaster set.

Even with specialized track and car elements, the 10261 Roller Coaster is a feat of mathematical LEGO engineering. All that geometry serving both structural and aesthetic functions had to be legal, which looks simpler than it actually is. In terms of overall dimensions, I think this is the largest LEGO set ever. Besides, it is a sort of milestone in the LEGO System.

BUILDING TECHNIQUES

If I were to design a large metal scaffolding construction, such as a roller coaster, my first instinct would be to grab the bin with LEGO Technic beams. They are easy to connect at odd angles and have several times more connecting power than any System brick. Since this is a Creator Expert set, it is safe to assume that having most of the construction built in Technic wouldn’t fit the theme, despite the Technic design team’s efforts to convert Creator Expert designer Mike Psiaki to their “superior” building system (as our friends at Zusammengebaut discovered).

It is hard to believe the Technic department wasn’t involved, at least as advisors, but as far as the construction holding the rails goes, it is built in Creator-friendly System brick.

However, there is more to the white pillars than meets the eye. A fortunate functionality of the centre axle hole in the 2x2 Round brick must be its most efficient use in this piece’s 40-year existence. A whopping 530 of them are used in the set as vertical beams for the rails which would likely collapse without the indispensable help of Technic axles securing them through the core. The only part where Technic beams are used is to bridge between short segments of the pillars where modified plates without the functionality of axle holes had to be sandwiched in.

Securing all these pillars to the ground requires an equally ingenious method. A frame surrounds the foundation holding down the pillars with clips, making the “parabolic ring” (Element ID 6020990 | Design ID 75937) with its octagonal bar connections one of the most copious elements in the set.

The elaborate train of mechanisms which powers the roller coaster winch deserves special mention.

The use of the Technic rubber connector (Design ID 45590) as a tension spring to get a satisfying rocker-switch feel when pushing the lever is a stroke of genius and a kind of subtle detail that adds shine to the overall play experience. Exploiting the ornamental design of the “Ninjago fence” (32932) to support the lever shouldn’t go unnoticed either.

Another unexpected and clever solution is the ratcheting freewheel mechanism for one of the cranks. In layman’s terms, it is a system that allows a gear to rotate or apply torque in only one direction, like the rear gear on a bicycle. I find it unnecessary for the function in this set, but its pure simplicity is enchanting nonetheless.

NEW PIECES

To get the conspicuous rail elements out of the way: there are now seven individual segments of rail elements available and, so far, the complete range is only available in Bright Red [TLG] / Red [BL]. Neither of the other two colours (Medium Lilac [TLG] / Dark Purple [BL] and Medium Stone Grey [TLG] / Light Bluish Gray [BL]) can complete the full length of track in this set, with the short steep segment of rail (Design ID 62561) exclusive to this set.

Rail Straight 8L (Design ID 26022) ■ ■ ■(Element ID 6229117)
Rail Straight 16L (Design ID 25059) ■ ■(Element ID 6229099)
Rail Curve 90° (Design ID 25061) ■ ■ ■(Element ID 6229115)
Rail Ramp low elevation (Design ID 34738) ■ ■(Element ID 6229098)
Rail Ramp high elevation convex (Design ID 26560) ■ ■(Element ID 6229122)
Rail Ramp high elevation concave (Design ID 62559) ■ ■(Element ID 6229121)
Rail Ramp high elevation steep (Design ID 62561) ■(Element ID 6229123)

At first glance, the new Brick Modified 1 x 2 x 1 No Studs, Curved Top (6227184|37352) looks like the Brick Modified 1 x 4 x 1 1/3 No Studs, Curved Top (Design ID 10314) cut in half, but the new element is also shorter by one plate.

It is a useful substitute for the cult “R-slope” element (6091) (a nickname passionately advocated by AFOL Simon Liu) when the distance between them has to be less than two studs. This comes at the price of having a single connection point which affects the structural integrity of the builds. Even though I would rather have a 1x1 version of this, every new piece in the curved slope category is welcome.

Although Chris McVeigh has already introduced New Elementary readers to the Brickheadz glasses, I will still sneakily categorize this piece as new. The Roller Coaster comes with just the rectangular version, Bar 2.25 x 5.25 Double Squares (Element ID 6208551|Design ID 35366) which is suitably used as a fence. For a minute I was worried that this was a Brickheadz exclusive piece, even if I couldn’t yet find any revolutionary function for it apart from adding character to the brick interpretation of yourself.

A piece that was introduced in 2017 in the 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon has passed slightly under the radar. It’s not until it made an appearance here as a functional part that it caught my attention. This is perhaps because BrickLink calls it a minifigure shield (6188400|30166) which is an easy category to overlook.

The piece is used as a bar connection support directly under a plate which, despite its rather large dimensions, is the type of piece I can see myself reaching for whenever strange geometry is required.

RECOLOURS

The set comes with an exciting recolour in White of the Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Studs on 1 Side (6218823|22885) but, as if to tease us on purpose, there is only a single piece in the set. If it is any consolation, it is used for a function in the set that is not essential in this colour which almost certainly means it is coming soon in other sets.

Another new White piece is the 2x2 Round Brick with pin holes (6218899|17485) if that should be of any use to you.

Just as the old flower stem element (Design ID 3741) seems to be going out of production after 40 years and becoming available in Dark Brown in its last days of existence in 70620 Ninjago City, the updated mould which exchanges the anti-stud for a bar on the bottom is now available in the next best thing: Reddish Brown.

Some of these plant elements are made of a softer plastic which is known for weaker clutch power. A bar makes a stronger connection than an anti-stud. An added incentive for changing some of the plant moulds might also have something to do with the new sustainable plant-based plastics which are planned to be used first on those softer plant elements.

It is funny how some LEGO elements are stuck with the name for what they were first used. What BrickLink calls a beehive, and TLG’s bizarre naming habits designated a “Mini Hat”, is now available in Light Purple [TLG]/ Bright Pink [BL] (Element ID 6229124 | Design ID 35574). This set cleverly recycles the piece as fairy floss, more commonly known as cotton candy. It is a four-piece build and after you insert a minifigure head – which is also new to Light Purple (6229124|3626) – the “Mini Hat” name suddenly makes more sense. It is likely a technical function of the beehive piece to accept a minifigure head element rather than to function as a possible fashion accessory in future sets.

Dark Azure is a colour that has matured very quickly in recent years. Starting its life in 2011 in the Alien Conquest theme, it spread throughout all LEGO themes and has become a widely accepted member of the palette. Sometimes it just so happens that a certain colour has gaps in the very essential elements available, and for Dark Azure this was the ubiquitous 1x1 brick. Thanks to the “Coaster” lettering in this set, we can now close this frustrating gap (6225538|3005).

Another happy addition to the Dark Azure lineup is the “inverted baby bow”, Slope, Curved 2 x 1 Inverted (6231942|24201). Here’s hope that the inverted versions get as many recolours as their non-inverted counterpart.

Earth Blue [TLG] / Dark Blue [BL] is used as an accent colour in the fairground sub-theme of Creator Expert, so some recolours in this department are no surprise.

The Coaster cars (6233695|26021), Hinge Panel 6x3 (6229129|2440), Vehicle Spoiler 1 x 4 on 1 x 2 Base (6187275|30925) and 2x2 Curved Tile (6199898|27925) are all given the Earth Blue treatment.

The 2x2 Curved Tile is the only new 'non-niche' part in Earth Blue (6199898|27925) and is now the second colour, with Medium Stone Grey, that have both 2x2 and 4x4 versions available in the same tone.

STICKERS

The set uses no new printed pieces. Most of the stickers are set-specific. The juice bar and cotton candy tiles might come useful some day.

CONCLUSION

With the resources needed to develop a brand-new track and car system for the Roller Coaster, TLG must have pinned a lot of hope in it. The LEGO City Miners sub-theme came at an appropriate time, making use of the rails, and I am eager to see what other new ideas they come up with to exploit the elements.

The old narrow rail system introduced by the Indiana Jones theme is still used in the Friends 41130 Amusement Park Roller Coaster. But with its limited range of only two individual track elements per colour, it doesn’t seem to be going far in terms either of further development or ride excitement.

It is a good time to be a LEGO fan with three iconic fairground rides available at the same time. I can’t wait to see the humongous reinterpretations of these rides in upcoming AFOL conventions. Suspended railway, anyone?

Or even better: help our fundraiser! If you enjoy what we do and can spare the cash, how about giving us what you feel we are worth? The price of an app, a book, maybe an annual magazine subscription? It would really help us bring you even more great articles.

It’s hard to imagine a theme park without a great roller coaster. Does the first Creator Expert Roller Coaster offer a great thrill for those LEGO enthusiasts who can afford the steep price of admission?

Before we get started, please help me in welcoming Koen Van Der Hoeven to the Brick Architect team! He is our fourth writer.

An avid traveler, Koen likes to explore how different ages and cultures result in different architectural styles, with preferences for historic European and Japanese architecture. He was drawn to LEGO as a way to explore his interests in medieval architecture and fantasy, so it’s no surprise that some of his favorite themes are Castle, Lord of the Rings, and Ninjago, although he also really enjoys the Modular Building Series. A software engineer by day, he finds LEGO relaxing and it gives him a creative outlet outside of the office.

The first thing you need to realize about this set is the size. Just reading the diameters makes it difficult to appreciate how big this set is. Due to the number of pillars and empty space in the set, the whole coaster measures over 20 inches high (53cm), 34 inches wide (88cm) and 16 inches deep (41cm). For reference a 48 stud baseplate measures 15 inches wide and deep, making this set over 2 baseplates wide and over a baseplate deep. This makes it an eye-catching, while actionable display piece so ensure that space is aplenty before deciding to purchase this set.

Not only is this set a fantastic stand-alone set, but you can automate it using Power Functions or LEGO BOOST:

History of the track

The seven variations of Roller Coaster track which are included in this set.

As with other large sets the roller coaster is broken up into multiple manuals, both preparing you for what will be a long build experience. The manuals are broken up to separate the build into two parts, building each the left and the right part of the coaster separately. The 180 and 258 page manuals build the left and right half of the coaster respectively, allowing for the build to be broken up between two or more individuals each building a separate half. Or just the whole set together for a longer experience.

A mix of natural and man made

The large base gives you the first sense of how big it is going to be!

Structure, structure and yet more structure

At first impressions, due to the size one may be overwhelmed by complexity, however as you start getting into the build, frustratingly that overwhelming may shift to frustration over repetition. As can be seen from the box alone you will anticipate repetition in columns. Albeit detail in structure and making use of technic pieces in order to support the thin, yet increasingly tall, columns one may feel slight boredom when building the bulk of this set. Unlike many other sets in the Creator Expert line, where builds are detailed with unique designs and details this set unfortunately is lacking with hundreds of pages dedicated to just building the support. Once you start to work on the gearbox and mechanics however you start to appreciate how intelligently this set was designed to support the twists, rises and turns of the coaster, however unfortunately turning back into repetition when you start building the second half of the roller coaster.

Beams support the tracks, while making it rigid enough to carry.

Intricate mechanisms behind the motion

With a main draw of this set being that it is mechanized, it comes as no surprise that LEGO made use of the Technic parts it has in its parts library. Without ruining what to me was the most pleasurable part of the build experience be prepared to marvel at how gearboxes are created and linked throughout the whole coaster design to either allow a motor or hand crank power and move the cart through the whole roller coaster. As with many mechanical sets, this set is designed nicely to hide the motor, sensors and battery box out of visible sight, not infringing on the design of the coaster.

The set makes use of Chain Link (part 14696) along with two Technic constructs both at the top and the bottom of the roller coaster to help pull the cart up the steepest part of the roller coaster. This is powered either through a hand crank by the base of the track or a motor. Once at the top wheels are creatively used to push the cart along a curve in the coaster before preparing for the drop.

At the base of the coaster the set comes with an additional cart to allow two sets of individuals to ride the roller coaster in parallel, and if timed right you can have them both run at the same time with no collisions. The extra set is placed on a reserve track on the side, and through a neat power function can be slid out to replace the main track letting the second cart run.

There is a built-in lock mechanic to prevent the cart from continuously flowing, letting it stop at the station, however the mechanic is oddly built as the cart does not lock properly so you may have to manually force the cart through, fortunately however this feature can be disabled to let the cart move seamlessly.

For a theme park, the only thing that seems to be missing from this set is children. This set comes with 11 minifigures, of which only 1 is a child. For an unlicensed set this set comes with a large number of figures, all of which are dressed as park goers. Of these however none stand out super heavily as uniquely desirable figures, but the set alone makes up for that. Unique dual molded faces exist however unfortunately none of the figures are exclusive to this set, something LEGO does normally try to do with large sets to drive up desirability. The prints on the conductor and store clerk however would give off the impression that this ride exists in a LEGOLAND park, with these shirts being somewhat rare driving up desirability.

Minifigures included in this set.

On the whole, a nice selection of figures that does well and fits into the park, however having more children wouldn’t hurt. Despite the lack of children, the Roller Coaster carts are not designed to have children be able to sit in them, and along with the height chart makes this decision seem intentional. LEGO makes up for this by adding small yet entertaining faces on the figures to highlight a variety of expressions when riding a roller coaster, while also paying homage to the old school LEGO space theme on the shirt of one of the attendees.

Despite coming into this set with high expectations I was left with mixed feelings. The cool selection of minifigures and my inner engineer nerding out at the mechanics behind how to operate the coaster and watching the carts seamlessly glide through the tracks leaves a soft warm feeling in my heart. Despite that however, this is one of the few sets I have built recently that I would not like to build again. Repetition for me and the lack of finer details and varied building styles within the set left a feeling of being glad to be done after building this set, which is something that I have not yet experienced, nor want to experience with LEGO. Scale was something I did not anticipate on, and to no fault of the set I feel it is very large for the average collector so this is not a set one would purchase on a whim to display, this does not affect my review or rating of this set but is something to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to purchase this set.

In light of the high expectations I had coming into this build, and my mixed build experiences, I would rate this set as “Good” (3/5). For $379.99 it has a steep price, but you do not have to fear that you are getting a small set for this price. Having the ability to tie in nicely with Boost and other mechanical products released by LEGO gives this a nice play feature and I would recommend this set to anyone with kids due to playability or those who are a fan of Roller Coasters or trains, but unfortunately this was not a set for me. On a whole this is a fun large set for the whole family and provides endless hours of fun during and after the build experience.
