Mega Brands Magnext iCoaster New 2008 Model review:
Build your thrill filled coaster. Watch the 10MM spheres go through cool loops and pass by the magic Magnetixbridge. Use the iMixer to create your background music. Decide from ten different beats and over 20 sampletracks. Requires four “C” batteries, not included.
Experience fast paced magnetic fun with the MagNext iCoaster from Mega brands. With lights, sound and the capability to plug your iPod into it and customize the background beat, this 64 piece set features a stunt packed track that may be configured ten different ways. This construction set gives a creative outlet for kids aged six and up. Small pieces make it inappropriate for small kids who require constant supervision.

Ten Extreme Configurations
The 64 piece iCoaster set comes with a booklet that illustrates ten extreme roller coaster layouts to decide from. With ten towers and seven hyper stunt track pieces, the possibilities seem endless. Each part is identified by a symbol at both ends so that assembly is a straightforward procedure that supports little engineers to be exact in building the suggested tracks. When they have mastered these layouts, they can unleash their creative instincts and create new ones.
Once a coaster was constructed, five 15 millimeter magnetic rider balls act as cars, zipping around the track, allowing a serious adrenaline rush. Before the action starts, an adult will have to use a Philips head screwdriver to install four “C” batteries, which power the lights, sounds and cool magnetic elevator.
Lights, Music and Speed
Stunts that may be incorporated into the track include a bounce jump, vertical loop and magnetic slide. One of our favorite features was the sleek, magnetic elevator that transported each metal ball back to the top of the iCoaster at the end of a ride. Two flashing lights may be placed in any tower to complement the neon track pieces and add visual interest every time a ball goes whizzing by.
The plug &, play control box features ten music backgrounds, ten sensor beats/sound effects, and a jack where you may be able to plug your iPod or another MP3 player in and customize the sounds behind your roller coaster. You have to supply your connector cable and music player to take benefit of this feature.
Durable and Educational Design
The plastic pieces seemed quite lasting, and they snapped separately just as easily as they snapped together. Our only concern about the iCoaster was the possible for losing or damaging small connector pieces, but these held up well in our construction and reconstruction of the track.
It is easy to see why the last iCoaster has been recognized by The National Parenting Center and Parents Magazine as an unbelievable building toy. This variant keeps all the great qualities of its predecessor and is bigger, stronger and faster.
The construction oriented iCoaster supports kids to build with motivation, helping improve their capability to concentrate and their fine motor expertise. It also promotes understanding of magnetism, inspires creativity and helps kids develop problem solving expertise, adding an groundbreaking dimension to play.
What’s in the Box
Magnetic elevator, ten towers, ten tower bases, eleven track pieces, seven stunt pieces, 17 connector pieces, two light up sensors, plug &, play control box with speaker, five 15 millimeter magnetic metallic rider balls, and illustrated instruction booklet.
