Hours of Fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my 4 year old and he can not get enough of it. It was easy to assemble and add ooze. You have to make your car go fast enough and not get caught but the oozing snake. My son absolutely loves and get a real kick out of it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My son thought it was ok

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 5year old was not very impressed with it unfortunately. He said it took too long for it to make it all the way through. We did not open the slime but maybe if it was warmer out he could have tried it outside with the slime. Too much of a mess indoors.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great toy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received this toy three days ago. It was simple to put together and my son was so excited to see it. He loved it and played with it 2 hours straight had a lunch break and went right back to it. The next morning it was the first thing he ran to. He thought the snake was so cool. He liked trying to make the snake eat the car and had fun making the snake jump.I really like the easy to use launcher. We’ve had others that were just too difficult for him to use. He had no problem with this one. The slime was an added bonus but wasn’t necessary and a little messy. My son liked it though.over all it was a hit and he is still playing with it. In fact his 4th birthday was the week before he liked this better then his birthday gifts.

Fun playset with and without slime
on December 18, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setup: We had some difficulty connecting the orange track to the other parts, but eventually figured it out. Making sure it is connected properly is key to making the playset work.
Slime: This track can be used with and without slime. My son enjoyed playing with it both ways. But from a parent point of view, the slime feature was too messy of a component. This is something that would need to be played with outdoors or on a floor that is easy to clean up if using the slime feature.
Compatibility: Not all hot wheel cars can be used on this track. For a car to be successful in staying on the track, you really have to use the kind of car shape that is included with the playset (flat and low to the ground).
Overall: My son enjoyed playing with the snake playset and would recommend.

Fun toy, not super messy

from Westville, IL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 5 year old received this and I was leary at first on account of the slime. It had potential to be very messy but ended up they it wasn't really. He had to a harder time hitting the launcher to actually get the car to go through the track but he didn't seem to mind. Overall, he enjoyed this set and played with it for a few hours

This is definitely a HIT

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this for my son, and I couldn't get it out of the package fast enough! The theme of snake & venom (slime) is very exciting, at least for a 5 year old.
The good:
Integrates with all hot wheels city playsets (as well as with older track with an adapter).
Offers a wide range of playability, from launching the car as intended, to just smashing the buttons to make the snake "attack" or be defeated.
The slime isn't very sticky, which is GREAT NEWS if you have carpeted play areas.
Bonus, the hotwheels sign doubles as a slime dripping mechanism.
The bad:
The launcher does not reliably launch the car through the tunnel into the loop. It might be that my son launches it too hard, but I had trouble with it as well. Tried different cars with the same iffy result.
Overall, its a solid 4 stars. I'd give it 5, but the launcher is definitely a problem.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It works best with regular 1:64 scale sports cars or sedans. Bulky or too heavy cars, such as vans, trucks or buses won’t work as well.
