Hot Wheels Speed Racer Sky Jump Track Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this to spend quality time with my 9 year old daughter who loves Speed Racer, probably because I am a huge fan.
Setup was pretty easy and straightforward. My first impression is how in the world will this contraption work? Well, it does, and it is lots of fun.
We only use the Speed Racer line of cars, so we don't know how this works with other Hot Wheels. Most times, cars will run lap after lap after lap without incident. Occasionally a car will derail, but hey, some drivers probably just can't handle the course! We've had 4 or more cars lapping at the same time, often for long periods. The four intersections provide for some spectacular crashes!
The height some of these cars fly into the air is amazing. And yes, they are deflected, drop down into the funnel, then into a spinning tube/tunnel which most of the time gets the car back on its tires for another lap, though sometimes maybe backwards!
Bottomline, lots of fun, giggles and squeals as the events unfold on the course. Easy to setup, seems very durable, the seams between track elements are pretty tight and smooth.
Detach the tower, and the whole unit can be moved in one piece, preserving the setup, for storage in a closet, making setting up again even easier.
There are collisions, car derailments, etc. so expect your cars paint to chip and scar, but to us that adds character.
My only complaint is that I wish it provided for an AC Adapter option. We're not sure yet how much usage we'll get with a set of 4xD batteries.

The Speed Racer Grand Prix track set is all about huge jumps, awesome stunts and major crashes. See how many cars you can fit on the track for the ultimate stunt jump that catapults the cars high into the air, then shoots them back around the track. Or try to crash them in the middle to create a huge pile-up. Either way, capture the thrill of the final Grand Prix race where it's all about major jumps and mayhem. Comes with one Mach 6 vehicle. Not for use with some Hot Wheels vehicles. Requires four "C" batteries, not included.
