 Concept is great if it worked right - Kids still love it though!Jan 16, 2011
By Lizzie
My 4 year old loves this toy - though for us adults it is rather annoying because it doesn't work too well (especially when you spend $100) - the design is off. Basically when the trains go down the track it's too steep and they keep going straight off the track instead of turning the corner. We tried adding some straight long tracks but the train still goes off the track. The mountain guard doesn't help - it just get's pushed aside. The mountain itself is made well, Aesthetically, as well as sturdy. Though it's also difficult to push the trains up the mountain due to the little entrance ways (for adult hands but little hands do well). My son doesn't mind, he get's several hours of entertainment from it. BUT, the cost and the design from an adult standpoint is very concerning - so that's why it get's an overall 3 stars. WARNING - it's LOUD!

 Mount DoomFeb 06, 2012
By Aaron Ishii
This set consists of a wood mountain in two flat boards connected at a right angle, with a central plastic peak that spits out up to 3 plastic snowballs. There is also some plastic white "frozen" track and some wooden railway. The wooden railway consists of two tall ramps that connect to the plastic railway and some connector track; including a double male piece and some sharp corners. There is a plastic channel/gorge with a piece of hanging ice. Also included are two exclusive snow covered Thomas engines.
My son loved it! The mountain rumbles as the trains move over switches in the track road; or you can press a button to get the same effect, or you can push the snow balls out. The snow balls are well weighted and follow the trains down the track and ramp. My son cries out: "Snowballs hurt trains!"
The trains derail at the bottom, but if you add some bridges or strait track they do not derail. Mine goes down and up the Pirate cove skull mountain to reveal the treasure.
There are two separate track exits that connect at the peak so you can have two different trains fleeing at once. If you balance both trains just right, you can knock them both down with the snowballs by pressing the button. Unlike other posters I did not find the rumbling mountain two loud.
The separate snow channel helps trains go around bends without derailing but the plastic ice sheet gets stuck and does not hang freely, but has too much resistance.
The mountain is large and dominates a train table. Fortunately it has some tunnels cut into the bottom to allow traffic. The sides of the mountain are decorated with various snow scenes of cliffs, signs and such. I like to spruce it up with pine trees and a danger sign. This item is my favorite although my train table is very crowded.
Chuggington compatablility: Not knowing if the Chuggers would fit, I held my breath and rolled the dice. Fortunately some did, but not all: [all fit through the bottom tunnels]
Chuggers that fit: Wilson [Whew! there is a snowstruck Wilson coming out that I want for this set], Hoot and Toot, Harrison, Action Chugger. Chuggers that did not fit: Koko; Brewster, Zephie, Dunbar, Puffer Pete. Good enough for me! Some of the tunnels have ice overhangs so I will not attempt to jig saw them.

Too NoisyDec 21, 2011
By FKM
My son does enjoy playing with this set but he refuses to turn it on so it's not really worth it. The wind and avalanche sounds are very loud and scare him. So for now, he plays with it without the sound. Since it's not being used for what it was meant for, I don't really think it was worth buying. My son manually makes the snowballs chase Thomas so since he's not using the automatic features I could have just bought a cheaper set. The set does have sensors that turn on the wind sound, then the sound of an avalanche with pieces of the mountain that shake and the third sensor makes a snowball come down the mountain. The trains have to pass over the sensors in order so it doesn't work if the child chooses to go in the opposite direction. But that doesn't matter at my house since it hasn't been turned on since we got it and the noise scared my toddler. My son doesn't scare easily so I was surprised that it scared him. Maybe when he gets older, we can turn it on because it really is an interesting toy.
 Not worth the money, not designed wellJan 14, 2012
By Han Kim
It is too hard to get the trains through the tunnels and my 3 year old can't get the sound effects to work. They have to go in an exact sequence to get all the noises, and even still, the snowballs don't release. I might try returning it.

Cool addition to train table!Dec 29, 2011
By bethyboo
Santa got this for our three year old twins to add to their Imaginarium wooden train table. It is completely compatible. It is pretty big though so we had to pick and choose which of the previous pieces we wanted to put back on. They love it!
