Editorial Review

Reach new heights with this airport play set from GeoTrax. At the center sits an air-traffic-control tower from which a rod extends holding an airplane. A motor flies the plane in a 360-degree circle around the tower and spins its propellers, while a hand control lets little ones raise and lower the plane and land it on a curved runway. To the side, a crane loads freight from a rotating blue cubby into a red train. Accessories include a windsock, a sign, cargo crates, and three track pieces which you can attach to other GeoTrax sets. Three C batteries are required but sold separately. --Andy Boynton

3.0 out of 5 stars Underwhelmed, August 11, 2005

This review is from: GeoTrax Coastal Winds Airport (Toy)

As a standalone toy, the Coastal Winds Airport is alright. Its neat that the tower offers multiple vehicle sounds. Its also interesting that the 'flying arm' is modular and appears to be ready to support additional planes and helicopters beyond the original.

The thing is, it doesn't really integrate with the rest of the Geotrax system. The road vehicles and the train vehicles can connect to one another and even drive on each other's tracks. The airport really doesn't have any way of connecting to the rest of the layout and just sort of 'sits next to' the rest of your Geotrax setup. So, as I said, its not a bad toy, it just doesn't have the WOW factor that many of the other Geotrax units do.

5.0 out of 5 stars A High-Flying and Fun Toy, September 1, 2005

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: GeoTrax Coastal Winds Airport (Toy)

I recently purchased this toy for my son and he absolutely loves it. Powered by three "C" batteries, the plane spins around on an arm that is attached to the control tower. Three different sounds may be chosen from, including a helicopter and a jet plane. There is also a reset button on the tower that "wakes up" the toy if there is a lengthly period of inactivity.

Included with the toy are a train engine, railroad track, a wind sock, a crane, and two cargo boxes. The train or the airplane can carry the boxes. Also, additional planes can be purchased and used with the set.

The assembly is quick and easy, and the directions are easy to follow (something that we parents greatly appreciate!!). Once in place, the tower stays securely attached to the base, and the arm to the tower. The only tool required is a phillips screwdriver for the battery compartment.

A handle controls the airplane as it flys around, and the child can land the plane on the runway. The runway detaches from the base for easy storage.

I highly recommend this fun and educational toy. This has quickly become one of my son's (and daughter's) favorite toys, and they both get hours of enjoyment watching the plane fly and then landing it on the runway. Purchase this toy for your own little pilot and watch them learn the fun of flying an airplane!

Fisher price has a gold mine with the whole geotrax set! My boys will play for hours with this. They got the coastal winds airport for Christmas and have pretended to visit every imaginable place! I gave it a 5 for it's educational value because they want to learn about the places they could visit! We have just about every piece to this set and it will continue to grow as fisher price adds more. I just love it and I love the time we spend as a family configuring different tracks and manning the different trains. You just can't go wrong with any set.
