Review on Ravensburger Gravitrax Flip Accessory Finalist by June Reeves

I generally like the accessories like Scoop, Hammer and Magnet Gun, but the Flip sometimes crashes and isn't reliable enough to be used in some layouts with lots of curves or tight tolerance tiles, done . I've spent hours developing the rest of the layout, everything is tightly packed and looks amazing, can't wait to see it all in action. 3 balls are launched, each one goes its own way, the story follows the ball that has a flip trick. The ball rolls on the rails, starts the flip (so far so good, it works most of the time so no complaints yet). The ball is now 1 level higher on the plate, it's moving! It's slowing down. He trips over the hammer and doesn't even activate it. flop! Barely traveled 5 inches and there was no more impulse energy. Weak FLOP. I physically lift the ball, send it down a small swirling hole towards the catcher, it flips again and. Maybe this time he would have enough momentum to power the hammer? The flop is too weak. - tries again and works on 3rd try - So Wimpy FLOP can't send a ball with enough momentum to summon a hammer if there is more than 1 curve from FLOP to hammer. Right, 2 curves are too many! Going over 5 inches is way too far.
