ABSTRACT:
A slow-moving object, such as a toy vehicle car, is movable forwardly along a roadway which is extended in one direction. The roadway is extended by laying successive planks on a pair of rails. The planks are present in sufficient number to extend between opposite ends of the rails. The edges of the planks are encoded by having irregular edges. The irregular edges of only one or a few of the planks will conform to the irregular edge of the then forwardmost end of the roadway. When properly matched, the planks form a generally continuous roadway for the slowly moving vehicle. The user must properly position planks in place in advance of the arrival of the vehicle to provide a roadway for the vehicle to travel upon. If the vehicle arrives at the forwardmost end of the roadway, the movement of the vehicle may be interrupted or the vehicle may fall through the roadway.
The toy vehicle is provided with a mechanism for ejecting an object representing a passenger in the event that one of the players attempts to stop the movement of the vehicle. In addition, the toy vehicle is provided on its underside with a position detector which will engage one of the planks which has been improperly matched and push the same along the rails of the bridge-like structure so that the vehicle will fall through the bridge-like structure.
