Do you think your little train engineer can build the Ultimate Trackmaster track ?
Last week my budding engineers were delighted to test drive the Thomas and Friends TrackMaster ‘Risky Rails Bridge Drop’, motorised railway.
The boys and I (plus Dad) had a lot of fun creating our track. Sam and Joel dressed up for some extra fun.
First we got the pieces and instructions in order. I was impressed that the parts were all well labelled and my boys could identify the different pieces of the 3 towers that went together and what track pieces went where.
It was a little tricky at first to push the joins firmly in but then it all came together without anyone blowing their stack or letting off steam.
Toot toot ... the adventure began.
This track is full of twists and turns, they were very excited as the motorised Thomas goes swiftly down the risky rails bridge drop! The chute dropping the boulder into the basket, which slides down the zipline, added to the fun and adventure.
Sam and Joel have loved Thomas and Friends since they were toddlers after inheriting their older brother’s Thomas trains, DVD’s and videos. They love steam trains and recently we enjoyed a Father’s Day outing on a steam train.
The search is now on for the Ultimate Trackmaster 2012 – Calling all budding TrackMasters to use their imaginations , to build their track in a crazy* place, make it full of twists and turns, super long or really fast ! Then shoot a video of your ultimate TrackMaster™ track in action, upload on ultimatetrackmaster.com and go in the running for weekly prizes. The most popular video will win the major prize (so a good idea is to share the link and get your friends to vote – they can win prizes too just for voting)
*We were tempted to build track in the middle of the garden but the outside picnic table worked better.
Entry is open to all permanent residents of Australia and New Zealand, aged between 2 and 7 years old as at 25/9/12.
Every entry has a chance to win Prizes ! As well the major prize there are weekly prizes including the new TrackMaster™ playset based on the Blue Mountain Mystery movie and the DVD.
