Toy track systems are typically configured in form of open or uncovered tracks, so that a player may feel the sense of speed by directly watching the track vehicles moving therein. However, according to the above toy track system, a track vehicle moving therein may fall out of the track when passing certain positions at a high speed, particularly at curved or slanted track portions. The track vehicle falling out at a high speed may be easily damaged or even poses a danger to players or bystanders.
Although a toy track system in form of connected pipes may be able to substantially address the above issue, such track system in the form of pipes substantially encloses the track vehicle moving therein. Thus, the player or the bystander cannot directly feel the speed and thereby greatly hindering enjoyment.
A typical track system only allows the track vehicle to run on a preset track at all times, and such track vehicle would usually be operated in a passive manner. For example, typical track vehicle has only a manual power switch, hence the track vehicle only goes forward along the preset track. In addition, a typical track system would only allow the player to assemble and erect the track on a flat surface, such as the floor or a table. These types of track systems have very limited variations and thus cannot satisfy some players or bystanders.
The present invention aims to eliminate or at least alleviate such deficiencies by providing an innovative and improved toy track system and track vehicles.
