 Super-creative toyMar 12, 2007
By Mom
This toy was an instant success with my son, who is six. He figured out how to put together the track in minutes. Unlike other construction toys, Skyrail is not limited to one or two designs. My son can create endless configurations, including loop-the-loops that really work. This toy is also easy to disassemble. The track and connectors seem a little flimsy, but so far -- after many, many uses -- none of the pieces has broken.

Finally, a great toy that is not junk (and NOT made in China!)Jul 04, 2007
By RJL
So many toys these days are just complicated junk made in China. This rollercoaster is very simple, but offers incredible versatility. Unlike K'Nex roller coasters that are incredibly complex and can be built only one way, this rollercoaster set is amazinginly simple but offers unlimited possibilties for building and experimentation. No instructions to follow... just build. Our 6-yr old has spent at least 8 hours over the least two days coming up with alll kinds of creative coasters. Awesome product. We're going to look at some of the other offerings from this company.

GREAT marble run, fun to build and cool to useDec 01, 2007
By Learning All The Time
"It's Never Too Late to be what you might have been..."
This is a toy that will have a looonnnng life span, especially if you are buying it for a 6 year old child! My son is 10 and still plays with his, and we've had highschool kids at our home who also love this marble run. While it seems flimsy, the pieces are really quite durable, and it is the "flimsy" look that makes the marble run look so cool when marbles are racing around it (and the marbles will go fast) - compared to say, the chunky wood ones.
We have the equivalent of two of these sets, my son got one for his birthday and I picked up another at a yard sale. He and his younger siblings play with these constantly, making truly impressive marble runs. They are into experimentation too, "What if we take out this section and add in these two pieces".
My only suggestion, if you are buying for an older child, is that you might want to consider a larger set.
Also, just FYI, my younger kids have some trouble setting this up on the rug. A flat surface will make construction so much easier.
All in all, A+++, an outstanding toy, an outstanding value considering how many years your children will be playing with it.

Fantastic, educational toyDec 25, 2007
By K.H.
My nearly five year old daughter and I had a great time putting this together and making it work. It needs adjustment as you go: there are just limited instructions and some photo suggestions, but it's easy to figure out. Once you've set up a run, you need to fine tune it. Two aspects of this toy are educational: the way the parts work (very creative yet sensible) and adjusting it to make it work. Sometimes a marble won't make it all the way, but by making a loop smaller or the starting point higher, for example, you get success. My daughter helped and made suggestions. What fun. A great toy for parent and child to work together on.

 great idea, but finicky and poorly madeDec 30, 2010
By Matthew Cornell
My 10yo daughter and I have had a set for a while, and we get it out from time to time, but its limitations hold us back. For one thing, the tabs on the ends of the tracks get broken off easily, so they won't stick together. The other thing is simply the limitation of the toy for building things quick. It's not a tinkertoy, it's more of a toy that requires thoughtful and careful construction to get it to do interesting things. It's fine for that, and as an adult I have the patience for it, but not so for my kid. Hope that helps!
