4.0 out of 5 stars It works best over rough terrain, July 11, 2005

The other review says it is hard to pull them across the wacky track. This is true. However this wacky track works really well when you are attempting to build a track on the floor and over a rug. It is the only track that deals well with rugs or other things that make the terrain less than perfectly flat. Also I would say its well made becuase there is a steel cable connecting all the pieces.

Finally this track is a very good "problem solver" when you can't quite get all the track to fit together putting this Wacky track down can really save the day. IMHO it is rather expensive.

I got this for my 3-year-old nephew for Christmas because he loves building tracks for his trains! It's a great piece for trying to attach two pieces that might be hard to connect otherwise, like a tighter turn or just something that's doesn't fit well with standard curve pieces. When he and I play together, I've found that unless you're trying to pull trains around the track really fast or have a very long train, the trains seem to go just fine and the wheels don't derail. I haven't seen my nephew try Gordon (the motorized one) on the wacky tracks, but Gordon doesn't always work that well on regular tracks either. For what it is (two tracks) it's on the expensive side, but that's nothing new for Thomas stuff.

The trains and cars don't stay on these tracks well. We rarely ever use them. I would not purchse these. My son loves pulling them out but gets frustrated when they don't work well.
