| | | 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. | | | |

Fun, but doesn't always deliver Dec 26, 2006
By Kevin P. Davis 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.

A lot of fun! Jan 06, 2007
By rjncmj6
"Mom of 4"
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.

All hype - no performance! Dec 27, 2006
By James Cable 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.

Temperamental but kids love it anyway Feb 25, 2007
By Elizabeth R. Steere My kids love this set, even though it rarely works as it is supposed to. The car often comes off the track, falls over in the tunnel or keeps going round and round in circles in the tunnel instead of going back onto the tracks. Fortunately my kids think these bugs are features -- watching it go round and round in the tunnel is kind of cool, and the kids and the dog think it is great fun to chase the car when it runs off the track. Still, I think it is a bit disappointing that it only get through the regular course about half the time, and only very rarely successfully gets through the overhead alternate track.
It was a pain to put together. The clear plastic tunnel walls were very hard to fit, despite the combined efforts of my husband and I.
At first we thought that our set was missing the special Glo car. We would have called Mattel for a replacement but when I was flattening the box to put it in the recycling I discovered that the car was in a tiny little compartment way up in one corner. If you open the box from the other end it would be very easy to miss the car as you can't see the cardboard compartment unless you use shine a flashlight into the box.
I don't think the set is worth the full retail price, but amazon's 70% off price made it worthwhile.

Track arrived without a turbo glo car!! Jul 30, 2007
By CHRISTINE The track set is supposed to include 1 turbo glo car. After putting the track together on my son's birthday, I realized that there was no car included, and regular Hot Wheels cars DO NOT work on this track. I called Hot Wheels/Mattel and was told they'd send me a voucher for a car. Only after telling them it was ridiculous to only send a voucher for what should have been in the package in the first place did the representative offer me a voucher for two cars (not exactly customer-service minded). I have tried Target & another regional Target-like store & have yet to find the cars, so I still have a useless cheaply made plastic track sitting in my family room. Needless to say, my son & I are NOT satisfied.
