Great Set with rooms for improvement

This is a great set as many reviewers said. I'm not repeating here. Here're some suggestions: 1) The carriers are too small to fit mini figures. Girls with long hair cannot do front facing because of their head / hairs will be blocked by the 2x1 just under the top cover. Mini figures (boys or girls) need to adjust their hands in a un-nature way to fit the side facing. Please see the pictures for details. 2) The carriers are too close to the base. If only one figure sits on a side in a carrier, it will hit the base slightly because of the uneven weight. The doors of carrier needed to be closed very well to avoid hitting too. How about making the wheel smaller and give more rooms to the carriers? 3) The single instruction book looks cool but make it hard for sharing. I like playing LEGO with family and kids. The manual could be better if it could be written with more parallelism. It's important for sets with a lot of repetitions like this. It would be very fun if the small kids could help building the carriers a the same time while I'm building the base. Nevertheless, it's a great set with no doubt. I had a lot of funs in building it. :) The comments above just hope to make the LEGO to be a greater product.

Awesome Build (Grab a large base plate)

Going to cut to the chase and say that I absolutely love this build. My only gripe (and it is just my opinion) is that there is just something odd about the look/feel of the base. The two green 4x4 plates seem out of place. I understand it is to try to keep the larger green plates in their spot, but it looks off. Also, they really don't do much to keep the finished product from being a bit flimsy. I corrected this by putting a large gray baseplate underneath the entire build which helps to solidify when moving. Now, I'm going to remove those two 4x4 plates. Other than that, great build and worth the money and fun it brings.

Lots of detail; lots of fun. The Ferris Wheel looks great next to the State Fair Mixer! I can't wait for Lego to release a Roller Coaster, to complete the Fun Zone

Fun to build and to play with

This set was a lot of fun to build. The biggest flaw is the amount of repetition. Basically, you're building the same pieces over and over again. The details are amazing, especially the trees. Props to the designer. It is great to displayand, whenever your bored, turn the wheel while listening to carnival music. Overall, I loved it.
