 So much potential Aug 11, 2005
By D. Rapson
"geekacres"
I was really excited when Fisher Price announced that a roundhouse was in the pipeline for Geotrax. Our family loves the Geotrax line and we have quickly lost a room to our ever expanding layout. As we've added the clock tower, suspension bridge, and numerous remote trains we've always had an issue. Getting those trains turned around.
As cool as the remote trains are, they only go forward. So when I heard about the roundhouse I thought this would be a great way to swing the trains around. And to a degree that's just what it does. There is a turntable in front of the roundhouse that spins an engine a full 360 degrees. It even features the new Geomotion option that allows the drive wheels of the remote trains to swing around by itself.
The thing is, when the trains wheel into the roundhouse for washing, servicing, etcetera... you still have to manually back them out. And where they could have made the ends of each fork modular, to bridge from one fork to another with track, they opted to put a permanent stop at the end of each of the three forks.
Its a neat idea, and maybe my beef is more with the unidirectional nature of the trains, than with design issues on the roundhouse. The roundhouse does provide several new options for imaginary play. Its well built, quite colorful, and integrates nicely with the existing Geotrax layout. Most kids(large and small) will be quite happy with this Geotrax addition.

 Geotrax made it again !! Jul 13, 2005
By Juan Garcia Yanez
I'm buying Geotrax vehicles since two years ago, and we are very happy (my child and I) about the quality and fun in every pack that we've bought.
I was yesterday unpacking Workin' Roundhouse, and oh my Good !! it's too big !!, where I'll put it?. The toy is great, the locomotive arrives, and turn to one of the 3 bays: a washing machine, a bay where you can "fix" your trains, and a one more bay where the trains can "sleep". The turntable is easy to use and you should have trains and a lot of tacks to ensamble in your Geo Trax System.
If you are buying all Geo Trax items, you should consider to have one room or a big area for it.

 Not the most impressive Geotrax piece. Jan 05, 2006
By Kate's kids
"mom of 6"
My kids and I were pretty excited about this addition to the Geotrax set, at Christmas. It turns out, it's pretty frustrating.
Like other reviewers have said, the turntable doesn't work all that well with multiple car trains. Then, when it's set for the train to drive on through without stopping, the trains sometimes get hung up on the "climbing" mechanism.
This particular addition takes up ALOT of space. While it's still connected to our geotrax set, I'm just not impressed with it's function. We have lots of other sets that are much better additions. This one just frustrated my kids, with not being able to turn around once in the "stall".

Yipes, running out of room but SO addicted! Aug 15, 2005
By A. Skaehill
"William's Mom"
We just moved into a new house and one of the KEY requirements was a game room for all of the GeoTrax toys that we have - we bought the roundhouse for our son as a surprise for the new house. He doesn't even care if it's hooked up to the rest of the tracks - he makes his own sounds as the trains turn and as they get washed and gassed up too. I LOVE that he's so creative and expressive when he plays with ANY Of the GeoTrax toys. My ONLY complaint is that it is just so big. When you're out of control and you're buying all the cool new pieces to GeoTrax, you had better make room for it all! High Five Fisher Price - cool toys :)

Good Deal!!! Aug 04, 2005
By S. Myers
It's a really nice addition to the Geotrax set that we already have. My 4 year old son loves playing with it and it is easy for him to connect with the other track that he has. He is pretty rough with his toys but has yet to break any of his Geotrax. I agree with the first reviewer, this piece is very big, we were thinking that it would be smaller but it was a very nice surprise. I have already bought another one to ship to my nephews for their set. All in all, it is well worth the money to add this to your growing collection!!
