EDIT: Opps, this is a $100 Friends set. So I am now not sure what to expect of this set. We will need to see, but it is definitely not what I thought it was going to be. I apologize as I miss read this. I am correcting the details below. But at $100, maybe we will get some neat pieces. 🙁
I am not certain of any more details on this set, but this was just posted over on NeoGaf here. They are claiming that we are getting a Friends Roller Coaster set. With the way leaks are coming this week, I find this pretty easy to believe.
I originally got excited when I saw this set leak as I thought that this set would make sense to go along with the other amusement park sets that we have gotten over the past two years and would have been a huge hit.
I also liked the price point, as it should encourage people to purchase multiples of the set if they wanted to get a bigger set, but people on a budget could still afford it. Perfect!. A Lego Roller Coaster is a dream set for many people and would probably be a huge win for GBC fans! However, now I am doubtful that this will be anything of substance. But we will need to wait and see.
I was also hopeful that Adam Reed Tucker finally got his dream to build a Lego Roller Coaster as an official set.
Adam Reed Tucker originally tried to get Lego to create a roller coaster set years ago and he originally ended up creating his own non-lego version. You can see a sold one of these over on eBay here. They originally created 1000 of these.
Per the Description below…
“Created by the same designer that started the Architecture Series for LEGO, Adam Reed Tucker.
The parts in this kit are featured, along with Adam Reed Tucker in the documentary “A LEGO Brickumentary” (2014) where Adam discusses his work with LEGO in trying to bring LEGO rollercoaster sets to market.
This kit, when added to other LEGO parts allows the creation of roller coasters. Coaster Dynamix RollerCoaster Factory 110171-A was produced Adam Reed Tucker and sold by Coaster Dynamix in 2013-2014″
Thanks for looking and I am sorry that I missed that this was a friends set.

This is a Friends set. The article should make that clear. It is part of a new Friends amusement park series, that is hinted at in the new Friends Supermarket set 41118 that has a poster advertising the amusement park. Also in this collection will be a “space ship” ride, an arcade and a hot dog van, and likely one or two more.
Shoot, I knew it was too good to be true. I am updating this right now. I missed that. Now I see it. I was already planning to buy two of these. Thank you for pointing this out.
Thanks for the comment. I did update the article based on your comment, but I forgot to reply to you. 🙁 Sorry about that.
