After a year without a set for the LEGO Creator Expert sub-theme, the Fairground Collection sets will be expanding further this year thanks to official confirmation from Promobricks.de. In particular, 10303 will be a brand new Rollercoaster to replace 2018s 10261 Rollercoaster which has now retired. However, this version will be $20 cheaper but with two brick built loops for the LEGO Rollercoaster to race through.
As with previous LEGO Rollercoasters, 10303 Double Loop Rollercoaster will have a small open station allowing Minifigures to board and exit the ride. The Rollercoaster itself consists of three light blue carriages and runs on yellow rails. Once the Rollercoaster drives out of the station onto a piece of track, it is immediately lifted up by an elevator lift to the top of the tower.
This tower, which is around 92cm tall, can be operated with a Power-Up function for the lift so it automatically runs but it can also simply be operated by a crank. Once the Rollercoaster is at the top, there's a 180-degree turn to the right, followed by a steep 90-degree descent. This leads into the two loops just before the ride ends with a 270-degree turn left and a 90-degree turn right before the station.
The two new loops and the elevator are the main new features of this LEGO Roller Coaster but eleven Minfigures are also included. These are seven passengers, three vendors and a Rollercoaster operator. Side builds include a hot dog grill stand, a pretzel shop and a small ballon bike along with a bench for Minifigures to sit on and a map of the park.
