Geotrax Airport: Jumbo and Captain Jim

January 18, 2012

Jumbo and Captain JimJumbo and Captain Jim make up the "Biggest Team," and are included with the Geotrax Airport set. Our first Jumbo died suddenly, and after placing a call to Fisher Price, they replaced him free of charge -- it was a really nice experience for us.

Geotrax Airport: Loopy Loco and Darren

December 14, 2011

Loopy Loco and DarrenLoopy Loco and Darren make up the "Daring Team." Loopy Loco and Darren are featured one of the Geotrax DVD episodes flying through a barn, so after watching it, expect your child to want to re-create the scene with his own GeoAir barn set. Loopy Loco does not come with the barn -- he's a separate purchase.

Geotrax Airport: Blue Flash and Dynamo Dan

December 10, 2011

Blue Flash and DynamoBlue Flash and Dynamo Dan make up the "Exciting Team." Being a jet plane, we expected Blue Flash to move faster along the track than Jumbo, but in reality, they both move at the same speed. The only way to simulate faster speeds is to give Jumbo some dying batteries. :-)

Experimenting with Different Geotrax Track Layouts

December 4, 2011

Okay, so I don’t have pictures of these to show you. Blame it my little builder, who is as quick to tear down as he is to build up. But I’ve been playing with some new layouts and wanted to post a few ideas here.

A Twist on Traditional Switches

Try this on: on either side of a railroad crossing line, create alternate routes with switches. You’ll need a lot of Geotrax track to do this, but the end result is that you can use the switches to avoid Geotrax train collisions right before the railroad crossings. It really adds a fun twist to gameplay. Even better, add some elevation changes near those switches to loop around to the other side of the switch. 

Figure Eight Intersection Squared (Almost)

We set up a figure eight intersection that used the GeoAir Barn as its centerpiece. We then added some elevation packs to circle round the top of the GeoAir barn. The end result is that every so often, we would have a train hitting the 8, a plane screaming through the barn, and another train coming down the hill just outside the barn. And we crashed and burned 50 percent of the time, but that’s half the fun.

Jumbo Curves

You can make use of jumbo curves and a parallel switch to create a passing siding for the trains. Not a stellar combination, but interesting nonetheless.
