Product Overview

I recently got the chance to review the KNEX Thrill Rides Amazing 8 Coaster. I have tried a few of KNEXs products and this one definitely did not disappoint.

The Amazing 8 Coaster is a motorized roller coaster that stands over 2.6 feet high, and it comes with 448 pieces that snap together with a satisfying click, making assembly a breeze. It was so much fun to build my whole family enjoyed it! We were able to build the coaster in about an hour, and then we tried it out. The high speed motor sends the coaster car screaming through twists and turns, and it was so exciting! Its definitely an awesome toy for kids who love thrill rides.

One of the best things about this product is that it helps kids develop key knowledge of STEM subjects while they enjoy imaginative play. Building with KNEX strengthens fine motor skills, manual dexterity, and spatial relations, so this is a great toy for kids aged seven or older who are interested in learning more about STEM subjects.

I also appreciate that this product is well made and durable. All of the parts fit together easily, but they dont come apart too easily either so you dont have to worry about them unraveling during playtime. The colors are bright and vibrant as well, which makes playing even more fun!

Overall, I would highly recommend the KNEX Thrill Rides Amazing 8 Coaster to anyone looking for an exciting toy for their child or grandchild. Its an awesome way to introduce them to STEM concepts in a fun way while still providing hours of entertainment. Plus, the whole family can get in on the action too!
