Fun for Kids

Review Date: October 10, 2009

This is my son's (he's 7-yr-old) first GX racer toy and I am impressed!! He and his friend love playing with this toy!! They start off with a short rope and then pull it longer... the car does not always make it across but that motivates them to investigate why and fix the ends and rope. It's fun to watch them evaluate how to fix it. Note: the rope must be aligned with the grooves on the towers and the rope must be tight. The car is fun on its own as well. Would definitely recommend!!

Tight Rope Is Awesome

The Tightrope works great. My friends kids played with Tightrope for hours. All you need to do is line up the two towers and decide how long to make the tightrope. My friends five year old got the car to go almost 8 feet on a rope. It was amazing. The car looks like it is flying through the air. It is really cool when you spin the car on the rid cord. Easy to set up and super durable. Highly recommend.

My 6 year old loves it & pretty much put it together himself

My son is having a great time with this toy. With very little help from me he was able to follow the pictures in the instructions & put it together almost entirely by himself. Yes, we had to use books to stabilize the ends but that was expected otherwise the price would have been a lot more if we were given some sort of weights with it. My son started out with a very short length of rope and is building up to a longer & longer length. Each time he moves the ends and tries the stunt at a longer distance it works perfectly. Here's a hint: Make sure the ropes are exactly lined up in the grooves & stretched tight. If it's out of alignment the car won't make it across. I gave high stars for educational value because my son was able to figure out the instructions himself. We love it!!!

Cool toy. The kids love it.

I was leery about buying this because of the reviews that said it didn't work. My kids got this from Santa this year and they love it. DD is 7 and DS is 5. She has better luck than him with getting it all the way across. The cousins who came over on Christmas were able to make it all the way across the 10ft length. Yes, it does need to be lined up properly and yes, you do need to weigh down the end with books or a heavy object but overall a very cool toy!

Dont be fooled by the ads!

"Tightrope Terror" was just that; a terror. Hard to believe anyone got this toy to function as promised in the ads. Here's the rundown; the towers and the bases snap together with thin, cheap, hard plastic that is easy to break. Once together, you can't get them apart again to store back in the box for fear of breaking them. In order for the toy to function at all, you have to put heavy piles of books or weights on the bases to keep them in place. THERE IS NOWHERE ON THE BOX THAT STATES THIS. And the pictures don't show it either. If you are lucky, and the towers are perfectly aligned with each other, and you pull on the ripcord hard enough, the vehicle might make it across the string. Even when it does it usually crashes as it enters the second tower. The furthest I got the car to stay on the line was about four feet, and as soon as it hit the tower landing area it jumped off the track 3/4 of the time. My son got this toy as a gift for his birthday. Thank goodness it came with a gift receipt. The car by itself was cool, and as another reviewer posted, I would get these by themselves and forget this set. As an aside, reviewers will soon be required to state when they are being paid by a manufacturer to review their toys as so many positive reviews come out for items that are simply junk. BEWARE.
