Good old gravity fun!
By Matthew
The car could fall off and hit him in the eye!!! That's hilarious!! Well, maybe not so much if it actually happened, but you've GOT to be kidding! I'll address this "safety" concern later.This toy beckons back to the day when kids were happy with toys without batteries. Basic in design, nothing could be simpler than just letting your cars race down the track, but its still engaging. I found my kids creating jumps at the end of the track and setting up things for the cars to knock over - because 7' of gravity makes a matchbox car go pretty fast!Forget the elevator. It is quicker and easier for the kids to just put a step stool close to the track and reach up and put the car on the track, although my daughter did enjoy working the elevator for awhile. But all the action is watching the car race down the track, not slowly climb on the elevator.As far as the "safety" concern.... I never had a hint of a problem from my kids. I think there is probably as much "danger" of the car flying off the jump and hitting someone in the eye. Or maybe we should all wear helmets, safety goggles, and hearing protection.

My son really likes this toy and so do I because you can actually interact with it unlike most Hot Wheel tracks that are driven by batteries. I bought a couple of the battery driven sets which are hardly used, because my son will turn one on, put the cars in and will soon walk away with it running. The batteries die and you end up spending more on replacing "D" batteries that you do on the set. I don't know why it is so hard to find interactive track sets - the manufacturers really dropped the ball on hitting the target market if you ask me. My son's cousin just linked two of the two-track sets together and they will play with it for hours. You do not have to hang this off a door. You can prop it off the back of a chair or couch for easy access (and safety concerns ;) - this also makes for a longer track that can be manipulated (jumps and banks). Now I just have to find someone who sells just the orange track.

We had so much fun with this toy when we brought it home yesterday! My almost 5 grandson and I set it up (which was pretty easy). It hooks easily and securely over an interior (not an outside) door, and the parts touching the door are soft plastic which shouldn't scratch and didn't scratch our door. No flashing lights, no noise, no batteries, just you and your imagination.We have a perfect place to use it: we set it up at the beginning of a long, uncarpeted hallway. The cars would shoot out so fast that you could hardly see them and they were only stopped about 20 feet away because they hit a wall. What fun! If this sounds like too much, you can always put a blanket on the floor to catch the cars after they come out. I'm not sure the toy would be as much fun on carpeting. Our set came with 4 cars (the Amazon description says one car) and they worked really well. We also tried a bunch of vehicles from our collection and any regular cars will work. Some of the larger Matchbox trucks/strange vehicles/buses etc. don't fit through the gates.The winner's gate at the bottom seems to work OK, but might be favoring the number two slot. The elevator can be a bit tiresome to pull the cord, but you can also push it up and down if you can reach. I just got a chair for my grandson and it worked fine.When we were done playing with it, I took it apart into 3 pieces that store easily under a couch.
