Poor design
on October 20, 2026

My son received this for his birthday and was so excited to play with it. However, the pieces that are supposed to hold the shark head and top teeth open, DO NOT work. The toy is useless with this defect.

Do Not Buy

The upper jaw does not stay open or snaps close with a bare wink. It’s a poor design and terrible execution leading to frustration by parents and kids alike!

Catch N Release

I bought this for my new hot wheels enthusiasts, but ours doesnt seem to operate properly. The top teeth wont stay up and the head wont stay in the correct position. Its just spring loaded failure and caused a lot of frustrated tears for a pair of little guys just getting into the franchise. As an adult, I can see the tiny plastic tab thats meant to hold the pieces in place, and theres not enough clearance on our piece to catch the tab in the position it should be in.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Shark Chomp
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Bigmama423
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately this one just wasn't a hit in our house, but that doesn't mean it would'nt be fun for another hotwheels fan! This track came with a lot of pieces, was quick & easy to assemble though. It has a launcher that propels the car through the sharks mouth which actually closes. There's another lever that'll propel the car after its caught in the tracks. My son wasn't a fan of the sharks yellow teeth lol and got bored very quickly with this. It was dumped out the box, put together and then shoved aside very quickly.

Good Potential

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son had a lot of excitement putting together especially with the giant shark head! Upon completing though the play factor was less than expected given what looked like very exciting action on the packaging. The function of an additional car being thrown out when the shark head drops down does not work very well. Also very sensitive to how hard you launch your car. The alternate path of just jumping your car across was not a very exciting feature.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A “chompin’” good time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hot Wheels City “Shark Chomp Beach” set is a must for any avid Hot Wheel kid. The track is activated by pressing down on a lever to send the included Hot Wheels car soaring up the track. Too much power and the car will jump the tracks and fall into the shark’s mouth. Pressure on the shark’s tongue (shown in the pictures as a blue lever in the base of the mouth) causes the shark’s mouth to close and your car failing to complete the track. Just the right amount of pressure in launching your car will have your car easily following the track that curves around inside the shark’s mouth and coming out the other side unscathed. This also presses a lever that makes the sharks head pop back open wide—defeated. This set comes with a connector piece that is compatible with other Hot Wheels sets in connecting them together to make an even bigger track! The car we received with this set is great quality and my son doesn’t have one that looks like this one—which is surprising for the amount of Hot Wheels cars that he owns! He was very pleased with this! He has had a lot of fun playing around with how hard to hit the lever to get the end result he is hoping for in his imaginative play and narration. I would recommend this set for any kid who is a fan of Hot Wheels.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great toy to start with that can be added on to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids loved this shark hot wheels toy. They added more tracks to it and loved when it would zoom past the sharks mouth. I do think we missed one step when setting it up as the mouth would not close all the way. Over all they really loved it and want to get all of the sets.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hot Wheels shark track fun
on March 25, 2026
Posted by: Mom of 6
from New York
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shark hot wheels track is a fun toy for kids. It connects easily with other hot wheel tracks with a track adapter. My only complaint is the set up process. There are a bunch of pieces to put together and stickers to add. After it was set up my boys loved it!
I would recommend this to a friend!
