Newton had a point. In fact, if one reads his Principia Mathematica, he had several. But one of the most significant of these - loosely translated as 'what goes up must go down' - was written several hundred years before the not inconsiderable invention of the Magnext iCoaster.

For this is a device that, although not possessing perpetual motion or gravity-defying properties, does nonetheless momentarily challenge that premise. If you catch one's drift.

In short, this is a nifty self-assembly magnetic rollercoaster that mixes drops, jumps, stunts and loops (to use 'coaster lingo) with one's very own DJ choons. It's a fusion of sight, sound and speed with extreme G-force, 21st century design and some rather splendid physics thrown in for good measure. So pump up the volume and crank up the speed, daddy-o.

Being possessed of 64 pieces including 2 light-up sensors, 7 hyper stunts, 17 smooth tracks, 10 adjustable towers and 5 x 15mm magnetic metallic rider balls, there's simply limitless potential to build an inspired set of one's own chaotic coaster creations, to which one can then apply the soundtrack. Simply set the magnetic device in operation, release the rider balls (missus), turn it up to 11, and give maximum respeck to the laser. Massive.
