LEGO introduces the new 10303 Loop Coaster for the ultimate LEGO adrenaline rush!

Thrill-seekers and LEGO amusement park fans, prepare for the ride of your life with LEGO 10303 Loop Coaster, the latest addition to LEGO’s Theme Park collection.

At 92cm tall, this insanely cool roller coaster joins the LEGO Icons ʷʰᵃᵗˀ theme, retailing for US$399.99 / AU$599.99 and will be available on 1 July 2022, exclusively from LEGO.com and LEGO brand retail stores.

Designed by Pierre Normandin, 10303 Loop Coaster will be the ultimate companion to 2018’s 10261 Roller Coaster, which was my favourite set of that year, and only just recently retired, but curiously, still available on Amazon Australia on sale!

With the elevator tower, and double loops, it completely flips the LEGO Roller Coaster format on its head, delivering a whole new way to watch the cars zip around the track.

This is a remarkably engineered set, and stands at 92cm tall, making it one of the tallest LEGO sets yet. The tall elevator tower is essential to give it enough potential energy to blast the cars through the two gravity-defying loops.

10303 is a huge set, tall, but with a much more compact footprint than 10261 Roller Coaster. Its dimensions are 92cm (36″) tall, 85cm (33.5″) wide, and 34cm (13.5″) deep. You’ll definitely need to free up some space for this!

You can either use a crank, or power it up with motorised components to raise the elevator, raising the car up to the top of the ride before it zips downwards to complete the track.

Of course, you’ll have to see the set in action to fully appreciate just how cool it is – here’s a video supplied by LEGO.

10303 Loop Coaster comes with 11 minifigures, including a ride operator, balloon seller, pretzel seller, hot-dog seller, a grandma, a young boy, and five rollercoaster riders.

There is also a hotdog cart, a pretzel stand, and even this map of the LEGO theme park, which sees the Loop Coaster being the star attraction, alongside a Carousel, Ferris Wheel and Haunted House.

While most will be captivated by the Loop Coaster’s playability, I think it’s also a really aesthetically pleasing display model. I really like the dark blue used (my favourite LEGO colour), and the new yellow tracks contrast amazingly against it.

    LOOP coaster appears to be reasonably flawless although the structure holding the hand crank is a bit unstable. It is important that the chain links are tight against the side walls to prevent issues.

    • Jay says:

      It’s quite tall, so avoid knocking it over! Chains can be super iffy, especially if they don’t catch the teeth and I’m still scarred by the issues of the Haunted House.

  2. Josh says:

    This looks pretty awesome, wonder how hard it would be to combine with the OG coaster, that would be cool to see

    • Jay says:

      I think it can be done with extra track to divert the Loop Coaster car into the lift for the OG Coaster. Absolutely doable if you have spare track on hand, or if LEGO opens up Bricks and Pieces to allow more to be ordered!

  3. Anthony says:

    Looks amazing.

    I won’t be buying it’s just too big

  4. dejy2005 says:

    Cool set but unfortunately it looks like you can’t run the elevator on continuous “loop” (no pun intended) with powered up / power functions like the previous coaster 10261. Having to activate the elevator each time takes the fun out of seeing the coaster run again and again.

    • Shannon says:

      Directly from the set’s description:

      “Power up your coaster – Designed with reality in mind, this buildable model is prepared for LEGO® Powered Up (available separately) so you can upgrade the roller-coaster with a motorized elevator”

    • Jay says:

      I don’t think it’s fully clear yet whether we can or can’t do that yet, but I’ll get my review copy soon and will be sure to put it through its paces!

      • dejy2005 says:

        Thanks Jay! Looking forward to the review. Yep. Not clear yet on powered continuous running. However, RacingBrick’s youtube video analysis suggests it looks like it may be possible which would be awesome!

      • Flocell says:

        As stated before by Shannon, Lego website says: “Power up your coaster – Designed with reality in mind, this buildable model is prepared for LEGO® Powered Up (available separately) so you can upgrade the roller-coaster with a motorized elevator”.

        • dejy2005 says:

          Was never questioning whether powered up is an option or not. This is clear. What’s not clear is how the elevator will drop down automatically to the bottom again after reaching the top to load the car for another cycle i.e. so it can run on a continuously like 10261.

          • lego_man86 says:

            My bet is that the chain runs continuously to lift the train and once at the top there is enough time for the train to slide off before the lift drops down to the bottom, slowed by the counter weight on the reverse of the tower.

            It is interesting that there s so much extra track in the build – in the roof of the station and the side of the tower.

          • Flocell says:

            My bad!

          • David Kessel says:

            This is exactly what happens. The elevator drops down when the wide part of the chain goes over the top.

  5. Andrew says:

    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.

  6. Ct says:

    This is a truly incredible set, love the loop, but 600 AUD? Yeesh. Thats just too much for under 4000 pieces, i wonder why it’s so expensive? It’s not a licenced set so it doesn’t make sense. I might have to skip this one. Thats just too much.

  7. Shannon says:

    I love it. Great (and interesting) build techniques, nice little details, very appealing color scheme. It is different enough from the previous Expert coaster that getting this one won’t feel like I’m doubling up on a design. I look forward to getting this one

  8. TimJK says:

    As much as I like the set it is way too big for me to display. Also, the cost is on the prohibitive side and this comes from someone whom owns all of the modular buildings. I really need to purchase what will fit in the area I have destined for my LEGO city.
