Toy Review - Skyrail Suspension Roller Coaster

If you’re looking for toys not made in China this year, here’s one of your options. All the Quercetti line of Skyrail and Marble Run Roller Coasters are made in Italy. This is one of their most economical sets but don’t be fooled as it’s also very fun. It’s for ages 8 and up which is about right as kids much younger than that might have trouble putting some of the smaller pieces together. I did it with my six-year-old and he was able to do most of it, but he did need a bit of help.

I love almost all of the Quercetti line of construction toys and this one was no exception. This comes with 140 pieces and 15 feet of track, and as an extra cool little feature, the tracks on this coaster glow in the dark! You can use the included marbles or use your own standard glass marbles.

Overall review: like the standard marble run roller coaster, this suspension one was equally fun to build. A neat experiment we tried was timing marbles of different sizes and weights and timing the same marbles with different configurations of track. Overall, a lot of fun!
