Automatic Loop-the-Loop Stunt Driving Fun
on February 23, 2025
Posted by: Adam L
from Northeast, USA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packaging for the track is well designed if not a bit chaotic. The box is easy enough to open, but the parts are essentially just tossed inside. The assembly instructions are clear, with my daughter able to complete most of the assembly on her own. The assembled set is pretty substantial, coming in at 42" wide and is compatible with other Hot Wheels Stunt/Track sets. My daughter used a launcher and track from a different set to build an automatic feeder into this set.
Using the set is also quite easy. The child turns the crank until it no longer spins, and then feeds in a car through a small entry ramp. From there it rolls into the launching mechanism, gets launched through the loop around the track before returning to the launching mechanism for another pass. This repeats until the crank runs out of energy. You get about 20 launches before it needs to be re-cranked.
As far as drawbacks go, there are few minor things to point out. The first is that the set instructions show how cars can meet at "crash points" in the track and get ejected, but the set only comes with a single car. It really should have come with at least two cars so that this gameplay would work out of the box. The set can also be a bit noisy. Most of the noise comes from the wheels of the cars after being launched. Some cars are nosier than others. Lastly, some people may prefer if the set was battery powered instead of cranked.
All in all, a very fun set that works as advertised and cleanly integrates into the larger Hot Wheels Stunt ecosystem.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fantastic Playset with Great Fun !!!
on February 23, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design of the Hot Wheels Rapid Launch & Loop playset is impressive, featuring a vibrant color scheme and dynamic track elements that capture the excitement of racing. One of the standout features is the impressive loop that adds an exciting challenge for the cars. Watching them navigate the loop is thrilling. Kids can send their cars and the kicker automatically boosts it through a loop, curves and a crash zone repeatedly times, keeping the fun going.
Assembly was straightforward, with easy-to-follow instructions. Once set up, the playset feels sturdy and well-built, which is a plus. It's an excellent way for kids to engage in imaginative play while developing their hand-eye coordination. My son loves this playset.

Really cool launcher track!

from Dixon, MO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Hot wheels track is really cool! I like that it doesn't need batteries, you just wind the handle and it launches the cars for you. We used it on our table and the heavier cars didn't work quite as well as the car that came with it, when we moved the track to the floor the cars went all the way around, but didn't have enough force to trigger the launcher. We really like this track and my son plays with it everyday!

A Great Introductory Set for Kids to Hot Wheels
on March 1, 2025
Posted by: JDassow
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hot Wheels Rapid Launch & Loop was my daughter's first introduction to little cars. She loved getting hands on building the track, which was easy to assemble. She also likes "gassing" up the cars by cranking the wheel before we let the cars go. She loves how fast the cars go (so did our dog, who was glued to the track every time we played with this set). Who knew dogs would be so interested in Hot Wheels. Once we purchased some extra Hot Wheels cars, we loved seeing them race and crisscross and eventually collide in the crash zone. It was good to see the cars really don't go flying despite the velocity. The cars do fly around the track and they keep going for a good amount of time if you crank the arm enough. I also appreciate that the track folds onto itself, so it doesn't take up a lot of space.

from Woodbury, NJ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hotwheels set was easy to assemble and went together quickly. Once assembled it stayed together and worked properly. It is bright and colorful and my grandson really seemed to enjoy playing with it. It operated just as it was supposed to and kept him entertained for quite a bit. Very pleased with the set.

The Need for Speed
on March 2, 2025
Posted by: KBearMom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loved this toy. It went along great with his other tracks and cars. He liked trying to see how fast and how many cars he could use at once. Adult assembly is definitely required and it was a bit of a pain. But the toy itself was great!

Great for Hot Wheels Lovers
on March 5, 2025
Posted by: Carrissadawn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hot Wheels Rapid Launch and Loop is a pretty neat toy for kids that like cars on tracks, however, it does not keep my 5 year old occupied for more than 5 minutes at a time since it does the same thing over and over. He will play with it a few times a day, just not for long. My husband set it up in about 5 minutes and said it was simple, but he's a grown kid, so it might take longer for someone else. I love that it folds up to save a bit of space, and it hasn't come apart like most tracks do when you move them. My son has moved it into three different rooms in a day, so it's pretty sturdy. It has a hand crank that keeps shooting the included car around until the crank runs out of spins. My son likes to put two cars on because sometimes he can get a nice collision and fling cars a few feet away. Not all of his cars fit on this- it was actually very few, but I'm not positive on what brand they all are.

Really cool Hot wheels set!
on March 12, 2025
Posted by: Amber
from Alliance, OH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This track was very easy to assemble in under 5 minutes, every snapped together with ease. Durable pieces and the whole track colapses for easier storage. I love that you can interchange with some additional cars too! My son loved putting the car on the track, winding the handling and watching it go around and around!
