Why We Love the Up & Down Roller Coaster Rapid Ride & Hide Edition

Single-Rider Design

Coaster toys are a great way to teach sharing along with the concept of patience. Remind kids to stay clear of the track as others ride down!

4-Piece Track

Over 9 ft. of up and down riding track is included! The back-and-forth play (like slides), encourages physical activity as kids reset the coaster car to ride again.

Safety Built-In

Wide, non-slip stairs allow easy platform access, where the coaster car sits in recessed wells for stability. The coaster car includes molded-in foot rests, handrail, and high back for a secure ride.

Easy Storage

Kids will ride, and parents will “hide” this roller coaster toy! Simply take apart the pieces and they neatly tuck away for compact storage when playtime fun is done.

Why Play with Coaster Toys?

Physical + Motor Skills

Climbing on and off the coaster car requires physical dexterity and helps develop gross motor skills during playtime. And similar to a slide, kids learn to balance on a coaster toy, using their core strength as they cruise down the track. Plus, the “back and forth” nature of coasters (like slides) encourages physical activity.

Esteem + Self-Expression

The easy return style of the coaster car allows kids to reset the coaster all on their own to keep playtime going – and builds confidence the more they do it! At first, they might need help from Mom and Dad to climb onto the car. The more they play, the more comfortable they’ll be with balancing and using the toy all on their own.

Sensory Exploration

Coaster toys are typically used in outdoor play areas, so they open kids up to new sights and sounds not found in their usual daily routine. The quick movement down the track introduces new sensory concepts like feeling the wind on their face and the sound of the wheels on the track.

Language + Social Skills

Coasters are designed as single-rider toys, making them a great option to teach sharing along with taking turns and the concept of patience. Kids will also expand their vocabulary as they play with words like “coaster”, “climb”, and “car”.

Play Together!

• Engage your child with STEM concepts as they play! Ask questions that pertain to the coaster toy like, “What happens when you push off lightly?” and “Why does the car stop at the end?”.
• As the coaster car comes down the track and stops on the bare ground, as your child to explain the difference between the two terrains. They’ll get an extended lesson in STEM learning and sensory exploration as they describe their thoughts and feel the difference on and off the coaster car.
• Show and tell your child how the roller coaster toy works and goes together. Through repetition, they’ll get the hang of it and feel proud they can operate the toy on their own – with parental supervision!
