Disclosure: The coaster in the feature below was sent compliments of Step2.
Step2 has taken their classic Up & Down Roller Coaster and transformed it into something every Thomas the Train lover will squeal over- a Thomas the Tank Engine. This adorable coaster can be used inside a playroom (as long as you have enough room) or outside and is perfect for children aged 2-5!
Emmitt who is two is a huge Thomas fan, before I could even get the track set up, he was trying to ride Thomas. Set up was very easy. All of the track pieces click into each other. The most time consuming parts were putting the decals onto the Thomas car and hammering the wheels on. The track literally snapped all together and that was that. This is, hands down the easiest Step2 toy I’ve ever assembled.
Taking the track apart is just as easy. We use the coaster inside and out because it quickly became a hit with all our neighbors kids and I’d rather not have 20 kids in my play room at once. I have to disassemble it a bit to get it down the back stairs. It only takes a second or two to click the four track pieces back together.
The coaster can keep Emmitt entertained for hours. He climbs up, pushes himself off, giggles all the way down, then pushes it back up the track and repeats. The two non-slip steps lock securely into the track and make it easy for him to climb up and get off by himself. The recessed retainer wells hold the train in place till a child is ready to go down the track and pushes off.
Almost all of my kids can ride on this coaster because the max weight is 50lbs. Carlee is four and has just as much fun as her little brother.
Ethan is six, and while above the age range, below the max weight.
If you have a Thomas lover and the space for a toy this large, I highly suggest you add the Thomas Coaster to your Christmas list!

This looks like this would be fun.
What A Great Creative Product! This Would Bring Endless Fun To Play Time!
My boys would love this! And it is Thomas so even more fun for my train lovers.
My grandkids would love this train roller coaster – how fun to be able to play with it inside or out since it snaps apart easily and to be able to climb up and go down all by themselves. All of my kids would be able to use it since the wt limit is 50 lbs. thanks
(I was confused as to where and what to comment about according to the Rafflecopter last 10 pt entry request so I also commented on Simple Moms.)
Love this train roller coaster! My grand kids would love to play on this. It’s easy to put together and take apart to move indoors or out.
My son would love this. He has an obsession with Thomas right now.
My 4 year old Thomas obsessed son would be over the moon if I got him this!!!
My 2 year old would love this. This would definitely keep him busy during winter when we can’t go outside as much.
This looks so cute! My 2 year old son loves trains! He would be in HEAVEN with this! so fun!
……….Wheee! Haha! Your daughter was cute demonstrating it. I saw the Up & Down Roller Coaster from Step 2 a long time ago and Pinterest and have wanted one for my kids ever since. Love it!
What a great idea, looks fun.
My boys would LOVE to win this. Looks like so much fun. My youngest is a little dare devil and I think he would get on before my oldest. But they would both eventually enjoy this.
My boys are so into trains! They love them all. This would be awesome! My boys are 1 and almost 3 so we would get lots and lots of use out of it!
My oldest loved Thomas, and now we have a new toddler that LOVES anything with wheels! He would love this!
I like that it has a long track , my son would love this
My son is Thomas crazy, he would love the coaster!!
oh man i HAVE TO have this for my son. he has been obsessed with thomas almost from the day he was born. he has a little ride on thomas right now but i bet he’d love a rollercoaster!
This would be THE perfect thing for my kids once the winter rolls around and we can’t play outside. This will be my first winter at home instead of at work, so I’ll need all the help I can get entertaining them!
Fingers totally crossed!
The Thomas coaster looks like there would be hours of fun for any little one that sees it, nice bright colors and sized to play indoors.
This would make for a great christmas morning and lots of days after
OMG! I haven’t seen this before and it is adorable! My daughter would absolutely love this. Thanks for a great review!
How cute is that,would love to get one for my little girl.
My grandsons would ride this train for hours! I know they would do it over and over again. What fun!
First off, I am surprised at the cost–I would have expected it to cost much more! My son would love to play with the train for years to come. I know his Daddy and I would enjoy playing with this with him, too. Our winters get so cold and having this inside would keep down the cabin feever in the long winter!
Thanks, Jayme H.
Thomas the Train Track Comment. That it is easy to put together and take apart. Steps are non slip. The picture also show the colors and gives a good idea of how much space it takes up.
my son started yelling across the room I want it, I want it. We just started collecting the wooden railway sets so he has been obsessed with thomas.
I hope we win! This looks fun!
Crossing fingers 🙂
Oh my goodness! This is super cute. I always liked the Up and Down Coaster but never knew they had a Thomas version out. 🙂 Love it.
I love that it can be used for a wide range of ages, This is so awesome and would love to have one for the kids this year at Christmas we could get years of use out of it!
My 2 1/2 year old loves “Thomas the Train and Friends”, as he calls it. I like that it looks easy to set up and simple to use.
My boys would just love this!!!! I can see them playing with this for hours.
My boys would love this!
This set would be amazing for my two little balls of energy. It looks like a ver fun and engaging activity for them!

This is so cute. My boys would have an amazing time with this.
Looks like it would be hours of fun! I probably wouldnt be able to get my kids off of it lol
My daughter would LOVE this coaster. She rode a similar one at a friends house and had a blast!
This looks like so much fun and I would definitely be passing it on to my sister for her twins!! heehee I can just hear them fighting over it! LOL
Oh my goodness – my little grandson would go crazy over this! He is always asking me to watch Thomas & Friends with him and I cherish that time.
Would love to have for 2 grandsons….They love Thomas, got to go see him last year

my son would love this…hope we win!
My 3yo autistic son would love this. They have something like this at his school andnit is aways a fight to get him off it but having this at home and fornit to be a train one would make him the happiest kid alive.
Love the in depth review! Our toddler would LOVE this! So glad you have so many pictures and features posted! I want this even for myself! lol
Looks like so much fun. I bet the boys would LOVE it… Annabelle wouldn’t be a fan, though. :p
My four year old daughter would have a BLAST with this but I have no idea where we would set it up at. It would have to be outside. Great review too!
I want this for the playroom/basement downstairs for the kids this fall/winter since it rains all seasons long non stop for like 10 months a year!
Ohhh! I love this! It looks like a lot of fun. A local play place has one (not Thomas though) and my son enjoyed it. My son and daughter would love to have their own. Thanks for the great, informative review.
This is an amazing toy! My three boys would love to find this under the Christmas tree.
This looks like SO much fun! I have a niece that would LOVE to find this under our Family Tree come Christmas!
My son would love this. He just got into trains. It would fit beautifully in my living room.
Okay, so my kids totally need this. They are both dare-devils, and they love trains. We live near some train tracks, and whenever they hear the whistle blow they get excited and think Thomas is outside waiting to see them. Thanks so much for the chance and for all of your hard work! 🙂
Awww Brandy! Thank you 🙂
