It stands 2 feet high and it can be combined with added sets to make a new ride. To ease with the performance, the sets are motorized to ensure exciting thrill in the ride. The only added thing, which is not included in the pack, is the two required ‘AA’ batteries. Kids can also use their toy cars to push up and down the model.

The manufacturers’ recommended age is seven and above. This is due to the dangers that can be posed by the small connecting pieces if misused. However, under monitoring, kids of as low as 3 years can use it.
