Toy vehicle playset for thermochromic vehicles

A toy vehicle playset comprising:

• a dual tank unit defining a generally cylindrical shape and having a wall forming a pair of tank portions each having a generally U-shaped ramp parallel to said wall;
• a trackway for guiding a toy vehicle along a travel path having an entrance gate and a spaced apart exit gate;
• and
• a base for supporting said dual tank unit between said entrance gate and said exit gate such that either of said ramps is alternatively aligned with said entrance gate and said exit gate.

A toy vehicle playset comprising:

• a dual tank unit having first and second separated liquid-receiving tank portions having first and second generally U-shaped ramps extending therethrough;
• a base for supporting said dual tank unit in first and second alternative positions separated by approximately one hundred eighty degrees;
• and
• a trackway having a first portion having a first end aligned with said first ramp and a second portion having a second end aligned with said first ramp such that a toy vehicle traveling said trackway traverses said first portion, said first ramp and said second portion and is at least partially immersed in liquid within said first tank portion when said tank unit is in said first position,
• said dual tank unit being movable to said second alternative position to align said second ramp with said first and second ends of said first and second trackway portions such that a toy vehicle traveling said trackway traverses said first portion, said second ramp and said second portion and is at least partially immersed in liquid within said second tank portion.

For use in combination with a toy vehicle having a thermochromic portion, a toy vehicle playset comprising:

• a dual tank unit having a pair of liquid supporting tanks each having a ramp portion therethrough;
• a base having an entrance gate and an exit gate for supporting said dual tank unit between said entrance gate and exit gate such that either of said liquid supporting tanks may be interposed between said entrance gate and said exit gate so as to align its respective ramp portion therebetween;
• and
• a trackway including a first track segment coupled to said entrance gate.
