    Good, Yet Somehow Lacking

    Written by (AFOL , silver-rated reviewer) in United States,

    I wish this set had been bigger. Given the number of sets in the series, it seems like all but the roller coaster are on the small set. For the others, this hasn't been an issue, but this one could have benefited from some expansion.

    The cotton candy cart is a nice touch, and I was impressed with how nice the treats look. The ticket booth is less interesting- there's not really much to it and it seems unnecessary (why do the bumper cars require a ticket but the top spin ride and spaceships don't?)

    The bumper cars themselves were somewhat disappointing. The area is pretty small for the two cars, and only having two cars makes for pretty sad bumper cars anyway. I would have liked to see this expanded to be a real center feature. I do give credit to the design, though, as the cars slide around pretty smoothly.

    In my opinion, the best feature of the set is the top spin ride. With the controversy associated with a lot of the "girl-oriented" attempts, it's nice to see a build that requires gears and has some added function. Technically, it doesn't function like a true top spin (because this wouldn't actually be possible- I tried,) but it's a good imitation. It looks nice and runs well. The restraint bar is a nice touch, and I love that the figures stay in place while hanging upside down.

    Overall, I think more effort could have gone into this one- for a set called "Bumper Cars" the actual bumper cars seem like more of an afterthought. What that portion is missing, however, is balanced out by how nice the other ride is, and all things considered I'm happy with this set.
