The Extreme Coaster is worth it!  This ride is great for neighborhood enjoyment.  We have alot of kids that come over from the neighborhood and along with our own children, when we bring it out, it is always in use!  Very sturdy and kids ages 2-11 are having a blast.  Pay attention to the weight limit though because the Bigger kids will want to play on it:)  for set-up time, make sure you read everything before you put it together because it is a bit of a project! BUT the result was well worth it!
