Today is Take Your Child to Work Day, and I am currently with my mini-me at the TTPM Spring 2018 Showcase. What a fun way to spend the day with my daughter letting her see the work I do as a blogger and she gets to play with some of the most exciting innovations in toys and children’s lifestyle products from the top toy brands in the industry. One of them being LEGO.

LEGO Debuts the 10261 LEGO Creator Expert: Roller Coaster

At the 2018 TTPM Spring Showcase, LEGO is debuting the 10261 LEGO Creator Expert: Roller Coaster for ages 16+ and has over 4, 124 pieces. This impressively large LEGO set, measuring over 20” (53cm) high, 34” (88cm) wide and 16” (41cm) deep features a chain-lift Roller Coaster that comes with 2 trains and a variety of authentic features and functions, including a ticket booth, cotton candy cart, concession stand, height marker, and a covered boarding station complete with opening barriers and a control panel.

LEGO builders can even lower the lap bars to secure the riders into the cars and release the brake to send the train to the foot of the first climb. Then activate the chain lift and enjoy the ride as the gravity-driven cars hurtle through the Roller Coaster’s twists and turns. That sounds cool!
