Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends Risky Rails Bridge Drop

Comments about Fisher-Price 1001124 Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends Risky Rails Bridge Drop:

Incredibly flimsy and not fun for a 3yr old. My son tries to run the trains and play with this track, but usually ends in disappointment after about 5 minutes. Nice gimmick, looks fun, but save your dollars for something better.

This appears to be a pretty awesome activity set, but it simply did not work for our family. After reading some of the reviews for this, I felt much better about my inability to get/keep this thing up and running! I would strongly caution anyone thinking of purchasing this to: 1. Consider the age of whom it is intended. My 4 & 5.5 year olds tolerate the shortcomings for a while, the 2 year old has the same reaction as myself when approaching it...to just step on it and be done. (Neither of us have followed-through, thus far...) 2. Be prepared to spend a lot of time rebuilding if you have a future engineer on your hands. The two oldest love to tear-down and rebuild, which is brilliant, except you can only build-out at the bottom loop where it is level and if the tracks and such aren't snapped just-so into place, trains derail, chaos ensues. 3. SAVE THE INSTRUCTION SHEET! I consider myself to be well educated, thus, I'm comfortable in stating that nothing about the assembly of this track is innate. 4. I've considered mounting and gluing this set, which would leave the kids to build around. There are problems with some motorized engines diving off the track at the split if it's not absolutely perfectly aligned, and often when that is fixed, the Bridge Drop (slide) gets caught and doesn't go down all the way. 5. The R/C 3 speed engines don't do well on this track at all, presumably due to the extra weight from the batteries? Overall, I have had this working great on a limited basis, and when it does work, it's pretty cool...but there is seemingly just way too much reliance on stars/planets aligning, wind direction/speed, atmospheric pressures, etc. to make this a truly viable toy in my opinion. *The last bit was merely for humor, but I have honestly crawled throughout the house with a level to the floor trying to "troubleshoot..."

This track is hard to put together then it don't want to STAY together!!!! It took me and my husband an HOUR or so to put it together, then like 15 mins later it fell apart as my son was playing with it. I wouldn't recommend this track for ANYONE!!!!

Difficult to assemble. Track doesn't even hold up long enough for the train to make it all the way around. And forget trying to move it after its together... Falls apart into pieces. Horrible product.

My child and I enjoy this track. It was a not so difficult to assemble. Although it is a bit unstable it does not fall apart even though we have an inclined floor. Integrating it with the other sets was not so difficult, it actually acted as a 3rd level to the entire network we created.

It was difficult to put together and once you got it together it just kept falling apart. My son was very upset all he wanted to do was play with it, we spent most of our time fixing the tracks and tower so he could get his train to go on it without falling to bits. all in all waste of money.

Bought this for my son for Christmas. It works great once it is assembled. However, I had a hard time getting the pieces to interlock (had to ask the hubby for help) and the assembly instructions were not the best. Great value for the money!

We bought this set for our son who loves Thomas - he got 12 different Thomas and Friends gifts this last Christmas and New Year. He liked this one a lot and then when we started building it we got very disappointed. We experienced what most of the parents/grandparents in this review section did and more - my kid kept crying and wanting to play with it. And my kid gets really disappointed because he likes to build too and when it starts falling apart he gets very sad. He's only 2 years old and we wanted to start building sets when he turns 3 and we want to buy more Thomas the Train Trackmaster sets. Whatever happened to your Quality Assurance? Why let this product get finalized and be sold at all?

I purchased this train set for my three year old grandson for his Christmas gift.I have been buying Fisher Price for my kids and grandkids for 33 years, so I was pretty confident when I bought this train set that it would be a huge hit. To my surprise it was not. It has been nothing but a complete disappointment. Very, very difficult to assemble (takes several people). The pieces are made not of the stronger/sturdy plastic but rather light weight. It does not stay assembled and is not hearty enough for the train to ride on without falling apart. In fact fall apart is the only thing it does. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Very disappointed that Fisher Price would even sell this item. I gave it a one star because you can't play with this train set.In fact I would not have given it any stars.

This product was a HUGE disappointment!! Like the other reviewers, my son is a big Thomas fan.He was excited to play w/ the product, but once I finally got the tracks put together, it would not stay connected. It is a poorly constructed product and not worth the money we spent on it. I would not recommend anyone buying it.
