Get ready for big adventures with Thomas at Action Canyon, a Thomas and Friends TrackMaster set. Surprises await Thomas around every turn, with a giant waterfall, rickety old bridge, and winding mountain track. Inspired by the popular DVD, The Great Discovery, this set transports kids aged three and up to fabulous imaginary worlds. 
Thomas is powered by a single AA battery. View larger. | 
A waterfall and a collapsing bridge keep action canyon interesting. View larger. |  | What We Think
Fun Factor:

(what this means)
The Good: Exciting train set features popular characters
The Bad: Track only includes one train car
In a Nutshell: Action Canyon is ready to be invaded by imaginative kids | At a Glance
Ages: 3 and up
Requires: 1 AA battery
|  | | Laying the Tracks
Before the fun begins, Thomas and his friends will have to wait for the railroad to be assembled. Detailed instructions with clear illustrations make building the track through Action Canyon an easy task. It does take a few minutes to sort out all the pieces and get a feeling for how their plastic connectors snap together. Once the bridge and the mountainous waterfall are in place, you need to place a single AA battery (not included) inside Thomas, so he can power uphill. A Dramatic, Dynamic World
Be careful! One light tap on a secret button might cause the old rickety bridge to collapse right under Thomas. This colorful, sturdy track that runs through the unpredictable canyon is a great setting for imaginative play. Little engineers will love the switch that lets them pick whether Thomas busts through the waterfall or continues to the top of the mountain and on toward a daring descent. Kids who have seen The Great Discovery or ardent fans of the Thomas and Friends TV show will love that they can immediately start recreating adventures, like the discovery of a long lost town on the island of Sodor, but familiarity with these existing storylines isn't essential. Any imaginative child will be able to enjoy a day at Action Canyon. A Growing Circle of Friends
If climbing up a steep pass and zipping through a narrow passageway isn't exciting enough, Action Canyon can be combined with other TrackMaster sets to create a humongous world for Thomas to explore. Adding exciting, new destinations, additional engines, railcars, and trucks to liven up the secluded canyon is sure to make this set way more fun for multiple kids to play with. The fact that Thomas only requires a single AA battery to run is convenient and economical, but he does labor a little bit on the steeper portions of track, which makes us wonder how he would fair pulling a heavy load. This seems a small concern compared with the potential of surrounding him and the Action Canyon with fun-loving friends and constantly evolving stories. What's in the Box
53 piece track set, Thomas engine, and instruction booklet.

 Cute toy! October 12, 2008

This toy is really cute! My kids (3 and 5) love it. My husband had no problems putting it together (besides the fact the kids were bugging him at the time)and it seems pretty durable to me. I did test it by half jiggling the bridge and the side came off but that was easy to put back. But it's not coming off with normal play. I love how the bridge drops down and the train comes through the waterfall. It would be cool to have real water but that would be very messy.
Much bigger than I expected and the price was same as Wal-Mart! It arrived in quick time too. Thanks again.. November 25, 2008

Very impressive track! It does need a lot of room, but keeps kids occupied for long periods of time. Really a good buy for Christmas and everyday. It also shipped FAST... At this point, it is the nicest of the Thomas collection.
This will make you happy and especially your child!!!! psv

really easy to put together, and combine with other sets. bigger trains like gordan have trouble getting up the steap twisting tracks, but manage if you navigate them under the bridge. my 3 going on 4 year old loves it, is occupied with it all day and that for any parent is priceless. so buy some rechargable batteries or you will be going through them daily.

We purchased this for our 2.5yr old son for Christmas. It shipped free immediately and well in time for Christmas. It was easy to put together and very sturdy considering its height. The track is easily switched by our son to allow Thomas to run over or under the waterfall. He enjoys putting other battery operated friends on the tracks at the same time. I would not hesitate to buy this item, it is well worth the money and provides hours of enjoyment.

We purchased this for our 2 1/2 year old. Took a little time to put together, but he played with it all day. Can be disassembled and reassembled with ease. He loves it and will get the tote that we store it in and ask us to set it up. The pieces are virtually indestructable. It's been stepped on, thrown down the stairs and against the wall. I like the fact that you can add other sets to the track. Good quality product.
