Thrilling Fan Feedback

The Magical Funfair Roller Coaster set from the LEGO Friends theme has received high praise from both fans and reviewers. One user, peace355, mentioned, “Some of the building was more complex for my daughter, but she is younger than the recommended box age of 8+.

It took a couple of hours to build everything.” This demonstrates the set’s engaging and intricate construction aspects that can challenge younger builders but are still enjoyable.
