Product Description

The Turbo Tunnel* is the ultimate rack set to utilize the full capabilities of the awesome Turbo Glo motorized, glow-in-the-dark cars. Race into the tunnel and around the upside-down mega loop to blast off the targets and see how many targets in a row can be hit. Or, turn off the lights and run multiple vehicles in the tunnel to create a wicked "laser" vapor trail as the Turbo Glo vehicles fire rapidly into loop after loop. The set also includes an elevated on-track charger so "drivers" can stop to charge without crashing into other cars. The Turbo Tunnel* comes with one motorized Turbo Glo car. Not for use with some Hot Wheels vehicles.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but doesn't always deliver, December 26, 2006

I got this product on deep discount at amazon for my son (3 years old) for Christmas. He was pretty excited to get it, so I put it together on Christmas day. It took about a half hour to set up - it's easy, the instructions are clear, and the parts that match are labeled as matching.

The track layout is very cool, and having the option to switch tracks and launch the little flags is a lot of fun for my son. It's a marvel of engineering, and a toy that I would have had a lot of fun with myself as a kid.

The only issue that I have is that at full charge, the car only sometimes makes the loop through the tunnel and out the other side. More often than not, it either jumps the track or gets stuck looping in the tunnel. My son thinks both are hilarious, and having these happen less frequently would probably make me happier with the purchase.

This review is from: Hot Wheels Turbo Glo Turbo Tunnel Track Set (Toy)

I did read all the reviews before I bought this and I'm really glad I went ahead and got it anyway. I figured for the price, knowing my kids are young and aren't too picky with how many times a car goes around a track and knowing how much they like to crash their cars, it was worth a try.

My husband put this together tonight(took about 1/2 hour) and the family had a blast playing with it. When it was first put together the car would always jump the track in the same spot, but my husband adjusted the track connection a bit and there wasn't one problem after that. We got the car to lap around the track at least 3 times on most attempts before the car either jumped the track(which the kids thought was funny) or one of the kids blocked it or pulled it off to start it over again. They seem to have more fun charging the car and setting it off than seeing it go around numerous times. My 3yr old son would push down the tab on the ramp to have the car go around the tunnel over and over. They all needed a little help with charging the car but were easily getting the hang of it and they are 5, 3 and 2yrs old.

I highly recommend this toy for the price of $14.99. I think full price would have been too expensive. The only down side I see is that it only comes with one car and it might be hard to replace the specialty car. I'll have to look around the net to see what I can find.

Mattel should be ashamed to sell something as poorly constructed as this. Commercial shows car performing perfectly but after 50 attempts, we could not complete one loop. One very disappointed son. Not only does product not work, you must also have special car, just not any Hot Wheels will work.
