• Drop Tower
• Entrance Booth

The ferris wheel rotates and has 6 seats for the Lego Friends to sit in, while the drop tower has 2 cars fully equipped with safety bars. This ride spins around as it drops for a dizzying experience and is also fitted with a (pretend) camera to take photos of the passengers in the scariest moments.

Other amusement park facilities available in the Friends Lego series include a Space Ride (41128), an Arcade (41127) and a Hot Dog Van (41129). These sets work well together in creating a vast fun fair though they do come in various sizes and many can be enjoyed alone. Thanks to its large size and range of facilities to construct, the Lego Friends Amusement Park Roller Coaster (41130) would also function nicely as a stand alone product.

If you are looking for a creative and engaging children's toy, then the Amusement Park Roller Coaster from Lego Friends is well worth considering. Once building is complete there is plenty of potential for fun, imaginative play on the amusement park attractions. 2 LR44 batteries are required and these are included with the set. Price-wise the set costs a fair bit more than others in this series but it is quite an extensive one with lots of pieces and a good number of mini figures included.
