For multiple play, could one use Matchbox or Hot Wheels cars on the tracks? (I know the special sounds and such would not trigger. Just hoping they could go down some of the ramps.)

My kids do but the track is wider then the hot wheels , you can buy the go go cars and trucks on there own so that every child has their own car or truck. I got some more go go cars, and they enter act with each other kids had more fun with those then just using hot wheels. I guess the nose and talking sucked them in more.

The Matchbox and/or Hot Wheels cars would have to be pushed on the track. The train and cars that work on these tracks are battery powered and go on their own. Not sure if that's what you're asking or not. Hope it helps.

My son has pushed his Hot Wheels on it. It is wide enough for 2 Hot Wheels to go side by side.

no other train cars, but you can purchase separate ones that work with track, pretty sure all of them have the smart technology when they hit that certain part in the track, but the other vehicles don't move on their own, they do make noise and have to be pushed

No! But they do sell extra cars that you can buy. Match box cars don't have the right type of tires or batteries to make it travel around the track.

Not in my experience. The fun thing about this racetrack and cars is the unlimited variety the track can be designed into but I did buy 2 tracks. My grandchildren LOVE it, even up to 8 1/2 y/o. The track is very durable and kid-friendly. The cars are not as durable but I am so glad to see cars are available separately.

The track is bumpy so hot wheels might get stuck. Monster trucks work and other things like balls and push toys but the cars that come with it move by themselves and that is the most fun.

yes.. and the Mindscope cars seems to be better... trouble with the elevator so dont buy that set.. the tracks are great..including the "turn around" and the cross track joiners. I might buy the tower for grandson's bday.. the kids are 3 1/2 and just under 2.. they love it.. both sets

Any of the Go! Go! Smart wheels vehicles can be used with the track. Also all of the "sets" can be used together by linking the tracks together.

Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars should work fine in this- they are a little smaller than the official Cars brand, so there shouldn't be any problems, but I've never tried it.

Instead of making the circle/oval my son makes a straight(ish) track that runs along side the shops in his town. We have a ton of playmobil because he is 8 and has been recieving gifts of playmobil for many years. By making a straight line he can make stops along the various shops--sometimes moving freight and sometimes giving tours and just lots of possiblities this way. I'm estimating from memory since I'm at work that each piece of track is about 8 inches so using it in straight line makes it over 8 feet long. Plus he finds it very satisfying to drive it backward through the town and occassionally making it run off the track causing emergencies.

The cars fit good for the track. They are really small though and you can't put any other car on the track but my 3 year old loves it! So I'd buy it again.

My son is 2 yrs old and plays with matchbox cars, target $1 plastic cars, various sized boats, and all kinds of other cars in the sandbox. We've used a construction dinosaur, a large Tonka truck in it-both with sand and water, just water, and just sand. The sand and water box will accommodate various sized cars on the tracks. The tracks are about 3 inches in width.

There are two car launchers on the end of about 3 feet of tracks before the loops. The launchers are spring-loaded. You place the car in the launcher and push the button and the car is supposed to go down the track through the loops and shoot out into the air . Unfortunately the cars, 7 out of 10 times don't make it to the loops, they shoot off the track. If they do make it to the loops they hit the connection between the straight track and the loops and crash. My five-year-old grandson gave up after less than five minutes of trying to make it work!

Both standard size Hot Wheels and Match Box cars work well. My grandson primarily uses Hot wheels, and as long as it is the fastest, it could be anything. He loves playing with the track, usually brings it whenever he comes over. Good luck --lots of fun.

I think it's 6 train cars and 6 vehicles. The vehicles will also fit on the tracks, they just don't magnetically connect to one another like the train cars do.

The cars are separate stickers, so yes you can use the tracks without them!

Yes. There are a different set of rules for 2 players (no double tracks) which makes it challenging. It's more fun with 3+ people but I play it with my son a lot and we have a blast.
