Toys and Games Reviews of Disney Cars: Radiator Springs Mountain Challenge Track Set
Customer Review: Poor workmanship, false advertising
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Customer Review: A complete waste of [...]

My 3 year old son saw this toy on a tv commercial and said "I wish I could have that" so Santa delivered the toy on Christmas Eve. I didn't have trouble putting it together at all. However, when he went to play with it, the cars hardly ever made it through the whole track. Tow Mater was far too heavy to even get started. It is extremely loud and the track keeps coming apart. I was trying to decide whether to buy this or the Diego Rescue Center and sadly I picked this toy instead. My son tried to play with it several times but became disinterested when it didn't work. I went out yesterday and purchased the Diego toy which works wonderfully and is well worth the [...]. I will be throwing the Mountain Challenge track away, but not before I write a letter to Matel to tell them what a faulty product this is.Customer Review: Unfortunately, I agree with all the bad reviews...

Well, I read the reviews and still purchased the set. Shame on me. I was hoping we would be one of the lucky ones to get a good set but we didn't. Not only was it terribly difficult to put together (ours seemed to actually have two incorrect numbers) but it was flimsy and didn't really work at all. The track is much to wobbly to withstand any real momentum that the car gets and Lightning didn't make it around the top of the set even ONE time. Some of the pieces never really clicked properly either - very poorly designed. I also didn't test it until tonight (just 6 days BEFORE Christmas - again, shame on me) so now I have to figure out what to get as the "big" present. Hopefully, I can still get a refund since I waited so long to test it. We definitely received one of the defective sets.Customer Review: Do not waste your time or money

I paid $9.72 on clearance from a major retailer. I've put together many toys in my 20 years of parenting. I've never quite been as frustrated with any toy...EVER....!! It has just wasted a good hour putting it together. Viola..it's together, so all should be fine, right? WRONG.
This was all my 7 year old wanted for Christmas, but it had to wait for his birthday to get it.
He is just as frustrated as I am. Sometimes the car makes the turn, sometimes not. Sometimes the track falls apart, sometimes not.
I LOVED the CARS movie. I have loved all the other toys they have come out with it, but this would be returned if I could find the receipt. To the trash it will go.
VERY disappointing. Please save yourself and child the aggrevation! It's a waste of time!
Customer Review: Difficult assembly, still fun.
Summary: 3 Stars
Despite the difficult assembly, this track is still fun. My 4 year old CARS-enthusiast received this for his birthday, and he loves it. It works best with the one car it came with: Lightning McQueen. The McDonald's Happy Meals Cars will not fit this track, due to the width. Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars may be the right width, however, they are too heavy for the special spin out trick (rememember Doc's advice from the movie?), a Matchbox convertible does better, possibly because of the decreased weight of the car. Still, my son and I have fun starting the cars on the "spin out" and then "helping" them by catching them on the return to the "spin out" and guiding them back down to the motorized booster. Also, the included Lightning McQueen car fits in the Mack Truck, as well.
