Amazon.com Hands-On Review

With the Criss Cross Crash Track Set, your kids will have a chance to watch Hot Wheels cars speed around an elevated figure-eight track towards an accident that's bound to be exciting. Children five years and up will enjoy assembling the track and hearing the rush of the cars going around the loops, heading closer to that exhilarating collision with each trip around. Eventually the inevitable occurs--and when it does, you'll hear screeches of delight.

Turbo-Boost at Every Lap
The Criss Cross Track Set is designed to give cars a slingshot-like boost with every lap. As soon as a car makes the looped circuit--swoosh!--off it goes again with accelerated speed on another banked loop.

This turbo-boost effect is made possible by ingeniously simple mechanics. Once the car is inside the central chute, spinning rubber wheels grab the car by the sides and launch it around the course. After a car's momentum returns it after a trip around a loop, the car is propelled in another direction around yet another loop. When you have two or more cars on the track at once, they swirl wildly around the center platform.

Wait, Wait, Wait--Crash!
Add a second car to the track and it's just a matter of time before both cars cross paths in explosive fashion. When that happens, it's ka-boom time. The dramatic crash is a big part of the fun this track offers.

Easy-to-Read Instructions and Easy Set Up
Kids just learning to read can easily follow the directions that rely on detailed illustrations and arrows to convey the specifics of assembly. As long as kids follow the directions carefully, the track goes together easily. In a matter of minutes, your child will be off to the races.

This review is from: Hot Wheels Criss Cross Crash Track Set (Toy) It's not that easy to get four cars going around the track. The track is small and the cars go whipping by quickly. The motors launch the cars pretty fast so that they get around the steep banked curves (or they fall off). The four 'D' batteries must be in top notch condition as each car will decrease the motor speed slightly as the car travels through the launcher housing. The motors must recover their speed before the next car arrives or else it won't launch it fast enough and the car will fall off the curve. Given the variables at play: batteries, car quality, track placement wobbliness, user's ability to time it just right, I found this toy somewhat frustrating. When I tried only two or three cars, they'd traverse the track just fine, go for awhile, and eventually one or all would fall off the track, but seldom crash. The more cars, the higher the likelihood of a crash, but getting more cars on the track is a pain (maybe fun for some). Overall, I don't like this Hot Wheels set and...

Luckily, that is no problem as setting up this toy and putting it away are both very easy. My son can play with this for hours. The cars are able to fly around the track so fast, and the crashing is always very excititng to him. For as much fun as he and his friends continue to have with this, I know it was a great purchase at a great value.

Most of them were the first ones made. They were durable and lasted for years. They were interchangable and expandable. Now as a grandfather I bought my grandson the criss cross crash set. It set up easy and was a lot of fun, but after only one month the connector rails on the bottom of the track have split off. I have looked for replacement parts at Mattel and they have none. I have seen straight track in stores but none of the banked corners that are in this set. Not a good purchase.
