Magnetix I-Coaster

The Magnetix I-Coaster combines speed, high-tech design, and magnetism into one package. Though a far cry from the Rube Goldberg Machine (posted by Greg over at TechRivet), it’s a good place to start for kids. Kids will be amazed as the rider ball seemingly levitates on the track of the coaster at high speeds, and they can construct the iCoaster in up to 10 different ways. Because it uses magnetism, the iCoaster is also capable of some jaw-dropping stunts. The ball will go through loop-de-loops, trampolines, sheer drops, and corkscrews. It will even “float” across broken areas in the track. Perhaps the most impressive feature is the “magnetic elevator,” which carries the ball up a shaft through magnetic power alone.

The iCoaster also comes with a Sound FX and Music Studio, which kids can use to put a soundtrack to their coaster. It features 4,000-plus distinct musical combinations, adding to the excitement with sound effects. Kids can also plug an iPod or MP3 player into the music studio and choose the perfect song for the coaster. With this feature, kids can play everything from “Flight of the Valkyries” to the latest Billboard Top 40 hits.
