(54) Toy vehicle guidance system


(57) A toy vehicle guidance system is disclosed that is especially designed to confine a toy vehicle (58) to a predetermined path of travel, while minimizing the repeti- tiousness of operation characteristics of previous toy vehicle track systems. The guidance system hereof comprises segments (20) of flexible tubing, links for interconnecting the tubing segments (20) into a vehicle track, a tube capturing guidance element (22) connectable to a self-powered toy vehicle (58), and a variety of mechanisms for randomly and selectively altering the path of travel of the toy vehicle along the track.
