Disney Cars: Radiator Springs Mountain Challenge Track Set

It took a little time, but I think it was worth it. You do have to be careful once its assembled; if too much pressure is placed on parts of the track, angles will change and it the cars wont ricochet correctly. Otherwise its a fun toy, that is cool to watch in action, and its remarkably easy on the batteries.

it seems as if the parts do not fit properly. the parts are subject to lateral stresses, which cause the whole track to to become aligned improperly. the launcher is either under-powered, or the incline is too steep, because the car simply gets to the almost top of the incline section, and flops backwards; either onto the floor, or (if you're lucky) onto the track below where the car comes to an inverted sliding halt. i'm not sure how easy it was to put together, because none of the parts seemed to fit. my son liked it better before i finished putting it together, because then he wasn't disappointed because it didn't work. once i got all the pieces in place, and told him it was ready, he was crying moments later because it kept comming apart, and his "race" kept falling apart.
horrible, horrible toy. buy your kid a savings bond instead of this piece of junk.

This is the first review I've ever written, but I have to tell everyone that this is the crappiest toy I have ever seen. It didn't even work the way it was supposed to once. My son tried to play with it, very carefully I might add, and it still fell to pieces. I now have to find a time that he's not around so that I can throw it in the trash. Seriously, don't buy this toy. I would give it 0 stars if it would let me. I can't believe that anyone gave it a good review.

My son received this toy for Christmas. Santa says it went together easily. It doesn't fall apart like some are describing, but it does move out of position and unhook at the bottom and my son has to ask for help to fix it because it has a lot of movable parts and is not easy to fix for a 5 year old. It is noisy and that's annoying. The biggest disappointment is that the cars which are sold to go with this set of "Radiator Springs" product do not work on it. Even the cars which are PICTURED ON THE BOX ON THE TRACK do not work on it, except the McQueen car which comes with it. I cannot believe they tested this before they released it. All of the engineering which had to go into this and they could't make more of the cars work on it? I rate it a 3 because he does play with it despite its faults, as a parent consumer however, thumbs down.

Reading the other reviews, I can't understand how anyone could like this product. Putting it together was nearly impossible with the terrible instructions, and the pieces didn't go together very well(some, not at all). Once together, it didn't work. The car hasn't even made it around the track once, despite my son's best efforts. Don't waste your time, money, or energy on this inferior waste of a product.
