Today LEGO has revealed the next Fairground Collection set, 10303 Loop Coaster. With 3,756 pieces, this gigantic roller coaster includes the feature fans were clamoring for when LEGO released 10261 Roller Coaster in 2018: a full loop. In fact, the set has two of them, with the coaster’s riders lifted to the top of a 36-inch tall (92 cm) elevator tower then plummeting down a precipitous incline before going around two large loops. The set also includes 11 minifigures and can be motorized, though the motor elements are sold separately. It will retail for US $399.99 | CAN $499.99 | UK £344.99 when it’s available starting July 1.

The new 1/4 inverted loop part is what I’ve been most eagerly anticipating about the new set. Unfortunately, the steep ramp and bow track parts are not used in this set (in the new yellow color), so there will still be no single color produced that is available for 100% of the track part varieties. I will continue to build the large looping roller coaster MOC I’ve been working on using the old looping techniques other people have successfully used with the red curved and inverted bow track parts.
Why did the coaster disappear during the first loop? Weird
The stickers in photo #17 are upside down. But yeah GREAT set Looks epic!
The stickers aren’t upside-down, the roller coaster goes upside-down when the pictures are taken. Thus, the riders are upside-down in their photos. The camera (Which physically exists in the set, nicely enough) is set up to shoot the top of one of the loops.
Yes! THE POWERED UP SWITCH BATTERY BOX! I love it. I hope the battery box will be out on bricklink soon :D
