ABSTRACT:
A toy vehicle launcher includes a launching station together with an aligned spring-driven striker shuttle for launching toy vehicles from the launcher. The launcher further includes a vehicle magazine having an inclined ramp for storing vehicles and sequentially feeding the lowest vehicle to the launcher station as a preceding vehicle is launched. A trackway is coupled to the launcher and includes an intersection having a straight-through path and an angled return path. The trackway includes a curve to guide toy vehicles from the straight-through path to the angled path. Simultaneous entry of toy vehicles on the straight-through path and the angled path result in a dramatic collision.
