ICoaster Magnetic Rollercoaster

Build Your Own Magnetic Rollercoaster - and Create Your Own Soundtrack!

Magnetix iCoaster isn’t just another toy, it is an impressive, state-of-the-art, multi-sensory joy ride. Using the immense power of magnetism, it allows you to construct the very first magnetic rollercoaster, complete with drops, jumps and loops. It's a state-of-the-art multi-sensory experience that will completely enthrall kids and adults alike.

Build 10 suggested thrilling coaster configurations or apply your own creativity for infinite more designs. Assembling the towers, tracks, sensors, stunts and Magnetic Elevator is easy, clean, fast and exciting. Place the sensors along the tracks, turn on the "Sound FX Music Studio" and create your mix of tunes and effects. Or plug in your iPod/MP3 into the "Music Studio" for your own music selections. Watch the ball glide up the track, crank up the volume and enjoy hyper stunts. Stunts include: Magnetic U-turn, Trampoline, 360° Loop, Magnetic Bridge, 360° Spin, Helicoid Twist and Turn.

An Exhilarating Ride

The iCoaster combines speed, high-tech design and magnetism into one package. As with all Magnetix toys, the basis of the iCoaster is magnetic power. The coaster's "car" is a 15-millimeter metal ball -- or "rider ball" -- which is propelled along the track through magnetism. You'll be amazed as the rider ball seemingly levitates on the track of the coaster at high speeds, and you can construct the iCoaster in up to 10 different ways. Because it uses magnetism, the iCoaster is also capable of some jaw-dropping stunts. The ball will go through loop-de-loops, trampolines, sheer drops, and corkscrews. It will even "float" across broken areas in the track. Perhaps the most impressive feature is the "magnetic elevator", which carries the ball up a shaft through magnetic power alone. If you could board and ride this coaster, it would easily be the most thrilling ride ever!

Create Your Own Soundtrack

The iCoaster also comes with a Sound FX and Music Studio, which you can use to put a soundtrack to your coaster. It features 4,000-plus distinct musical combinations, adding to the excitement with sound effects. The possibilities don't stop there: you can also plug an MP3 player into the music studio and choose the perfect song for the coaster. With this feature, you can play everything from "Flight of the Valkyries" to the latest Billboard Top 40 hits. Crank up the volume for maximum excitement and adrenaline.
