The VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels Amazement Park Play Set is the perfect toy for your child if they are between the ages of 1 to 5 years old. It is basically a series of roads, ramps and loops that your little one can drive their little VTec racing cars through. There is a lot of interaction built into the Smart Wheels Park Play Set that will keep your kids engaged for hours.
This is no small toy, by the way, as it does require a bit of space and requires a footprint about 3 feet long by 2 feet, so I would recommend that you either find a decent sized table top or look to build out the play set on the floor. If you are going to use the floor you may want to use a soft carpet (that will be gentle on their knees when they are playing around with the play set) or you can get a set of interconnecting rubber mats at your nearby hardware store that you an put the little racing park set on.
By the way, there is also assembly required but don’t worry, setup is easier than it looks once you get started. Personally I just looked at the huge picture on the box cover and was able to assemble the VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels in a couple of minutes.
Now there are eight Smart Point locations located throughout the park that interact with the VTec Smart Wheels Cars. Each Smart Point location has a series of grooves and bumps on the plastic road that programs the little Smart Wheels cars to make certain sounds and speak various phrases when the car rolls over, or is even simply placed on those smart point locations. This technology is what makes the play experience very interactive indeed.
There are three tracks in the amazement park for the little VTec Smart Wheels Cars.
Track 1 – The first track is a 360 degree loop which your child can race their little VTec race car through by simply placing the car at the top of a ramp and letting gravity do the rest as the car zooms down the ramp and through a full 360 degree loop.
Track 2 – The second track is a spiral that goes through a little bucket-sized parking spot which your little one can manipulate to change the direction with with their VTec racing car goes.
Track 3 – The third and last track is a little ramp that runs under the whole park.
Other features include a flag launcher, where you launch your little race car doen the various tracks, a little platform where the car can be rocked via a little spring mechanism, between two different tracks.
There is also a little mechanic pit-stop where the VTec smart racers can fill up on gas on get repairs made. There are interactive buttons that can be pressed and the little lights light up and you can also hear cool sound effects that simulate gas being pumped or mechanical work being carried out on the car.
In addition to the lights and multi-colored interactive tracks the VTec Go! Go! Smart Wheels Amazement Park Play Set comes with up to over seventy songs that your kid can sing along to while playing as well as a bunch of phrases and sound effects. The VTec smart cars themselves come with built in lights and speakers where the music and sound effects can be heard as your child plays. Simply press the windscreen on the car and hear it start singalongs and play various sound effects.
The VTec Go! Go! Smart Wheels Amazement Park is a great toy to develop your child’s motor skills.
The set comes with one VTec Smart Racer and you can buy additional racers separately. What I like about these little cars is that each one comes with its own personality, sound effects and sing-along tunes.
The VTec Go! Go! Smart Wheels Amazement Park Play Set is compatible with all Smart Wheels and Go! Go! play sets so you can collect them all and have fun playing with them in your Amazement Park.
The set measures in at 24.4 inches by 31.5 inches by 29.9 inches and weighs about just over 10 pounds. There is also a little handle located at the top of the set that you can use to move the constructed set from room to room without having to completely disassemble and re-assemble it.
