All Engines Go NEWS

Thanks for the heads up Mr No!

I see Thomas doesn't do the corkscrew by himself, he has to be cranked right? Plus, I wonder how the crane swings around. And what is this?

New Obstacle Course Set announced:

Hot wheels?

They weren't really expecting the slow Motorized engines to be able to clear such things, so that didn't surprise me. Had it been made for Push Along or Minis, they would've used either a steep ramp or one of those motorised launchers (like in Hot Wheels and that old Chuggington Die Cast set). First a walking bridge that can be "dressed up" as an AT-AT, now a roller coaster vertical loop that will surely spawn Green Hill Zone themed layouts.

I wouldn’t know what that is exactly, but I guess it’s one of those stop-tracks where the train is bound to stop, so you have to pull the lever if you want the train to go. I think that's it.

But I seem to be missing something ... If Thomas doesn't go loop-de-loop, what does? Or is the loop just decorative? Or do you push something into it with that big handle?

Slopes look nice.

Oh, I think Thomas goes through the Loop...just not on his own power...what else would that crank be for? Maybe the activation tab is somehow going to hold it to the loop but the center pieces of the looped track lift the wheels off the track but re-engage at the end of the loop to proceed on his own power. Just having fun guessing.

By the look of this banked and walled curve coming off the loop...can we expect Thomas to be coming down pretty fast so he won't de-rail? There are no rails in that curve either so I am thinking so.

That could be it! That way Thomas’s wheels wouldn’t actually touch the track as he goes (very fast) through the loop (that would be detrimental to his engine, anyway), and Thomas would just "slide" on the center pieces of the looped track. That would be cool!

I think the people that gets this set (if the thomas doesn't 100% make the loop all the time) Will have scratches on thomas like a month into playing it, remmebering how people play hotwheels.
