4.0 out of 5 stars Noisy for adults, great for the kids!, July 31, 2000

This review is from: BRIO Adventure Tunnel (Toy)

The kids love this accessory to their wooden train track. I was not aware just how loud it was when I purchased it, and may not have bought it if I had known. However, the kids absolutely love it, which makes up for the ear-ache it gives everyone else! And I know that the kids will play with it for years to come, unlike other more expensive toys. An ideal present to give your friends' kids, just to see the annoying reaction on the parents' faces when they hear the noise.

On the design-side, it looks great, but would have benefited from the "walkway" on the top of the tunnel being the right height to have allowed ascending and descending take to be laid on it, i.e. like a bridge. It is about 5mm too low for this, which frustrates the kids.

This review is from: BRIO Adventure Tunnel (Toy)

My only complaint about this item is that some other brands of trains get stuck in this tunnel and also those trains didn't trigger the noises (ie, activate the magnetic strip) unless they were pulling another car. I would still buy it, though, my 4 yr old boy loves the noises. However, also note this is the noisiest of the Brio train noise makers and can interfere with your hearing tv if it's in the same room.

My son got this a year ago for his 2nd birthday. At first he loved the noises it made when the trains went through the tunnel. After the novelty wore off, he told us HE thought it was too loud(IT IS), so we took the batteries out of it. He enjoys playing with it, but it is tricky to incorporate into the track design because it is pretty wide (actual track is several inches from edge of table). For the money, I would purchase something that is more versatile. We do love our BRIO, though!
