Darda Upside Down Overpass

This racetrack has loop-the-loops just like a real roller coaster, but instead of roller coaster cars full of screaming people, this track carries just one sleek miniature car. The black plastic Porsche convertible is self-powered (by running it back and forth on the floor a few times), and zips along at a racing pace, cruising upside down around the racetrack loops. The flexible plastic track includes base plates, curved pieces, straight track, joiner pieces, and two longer pieces of flexible track (16.5 and 41 inches) for the crossover effect on the assembled track. The track design for this set features an oval at ground level with two pairs of double loops and a crossover. Clear instructions and diagrams explain the assembly, and two alternate track layouts are also included. All Darda sets have compatible track and cars, and replacement parts and additional cars can be ordered from the manufacturer. --Marcie Bovetz, mother and former children's librarian
