2.0 out of 5 stars only works with more airplane track, January 4, 2009

Overall, the Geotrax toy line is great. However, this product is seriously flawwed. When put together according to the instructions, the plane gets stuck in not one but two places. This is due to the bend in the track. This cannot be corrected without adding more track which will ease the bends.
The other reviews are a little one sided. One reviewer purchased all three plane sets together and so had plenty of track. Another gave it 5 stars without even having seen it together.
My recommendation for this product is to only buy it if you are going to buy one of the other airplane tracks too. Otherwise, it will be wasted money.

This review is from: Fisher-Price GeoTrax Rail and Road System Fly-By Bridge with GeoAir Expansion Track (Toy)

I also will be returning this toy. I was disappointed immediately when I placed the airplane on the track. It would fly smoothly under the bridge, but when it reached a turn it would get stuck and made a terribly annoying clicking noise. There were 3 spots on the track where it would get stuck.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fly By Bridge, December 26, 2008

GeoTrax Dad "GeoTrax Dad" (Amherst, NH) - See all my reviews

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This is one of the newest GeoTrax kits offered by Fisher Price. The blue GeoAir track seems to be durable and we have not had any problems. It is too bad that this kit doesn't come with an airplane (you have to buy airplane separately).

One disadvantage is that the pillars that the bridge sits on have a keying mechanism that prevents using standard stanchion pillars (from Elevation Track Pack kits). Using stanchion pillars would allow the bridge to be raised two or three levels above ground level (bridge usually sits one level above ground level). Also the base of the Fly By Bridge pillars have a large footprint, so it reduces the possibilities of track placement beneath the bridge. Still, this kit is a fun one and a great addition to the GeoTrax product family.

If you want or need track layout ideas, there are four track layout manuals on eBay. The newest one (volume 7) uses the Fly By Bridge, and all ten layouts fit on the KidKraft train table (48" x 33" inner dimensions). You can find the manuals by searching on eBay for "geotrax track layout manual".
