Product Description

The K'NEX double ferris wheel fully constructed.

K'NEX has always been pushing the boundaries of construction toys, and they have created award-winning products in the process. They aim to inspire creativity, build self-confidence, and encourage interaction among children and parents.

The K'NEX double ferris wheel has two spinning wheels rotating in opposite directions.

In their Thrill Rides line, the K'NEX double ferris wheel puts the "amusement" back into amusement park. Build a towering ferris wheel constructed with 977 K'NEX bricks and Micro-K'NEX pieces. Reaching three feet tall, the gigantic gyrating wheels reward determination and imagination.

Construct the base and build the two star-shaped rotating wheels. Pivoting on one of K'NEX's most powerful motors, the double ferris wheel will spin the brightly colored star wheels in opposite directions. The double ferris wheel takes the traditional puzzle, makes it three dimensional, and adds interactive play.

If you have had some experience with K'NEX toys, then construction is fairly straightforward, but even without prior use, little time is needed to get acquainted. Patience is important, and a child that is determined to finish puzzles will take to this toy. The double ferris wheel provides hours of fun for the little builder in your life, however, with many small plastic pieces the manufacturer recommends this toy for ages eight and up. The motor requires two AA batteries to rotate, and these are not included. --Scott Teal

Great for kids who love to build things

Review Date: January 12, 2008

Reviewer: A. Clark,

I bought this for my 7-year-old son for Christmas and he loved it. He couldn't wait to dive into the box and start building. He put it together all by himself. The two ferris wheels spin in opposite directions and the motor is strong enough to put a few small toys (he used imaginext knights)in the seats and watch them go around. The ferris wheel is huge though, so when left together, it takes up a lot of space.

Ten year old grandson absolutely flipped when he got this! Well packaged and directions were clear enough for him to put it together. The kid is really smart, but only hesitated a couple of times before moving forward. Challenging but able to complete. I'm certain that he will be delighted when he finishes putting it together. (All the pieces, motors and batteries were included)

An excellent toy for careful children

This toy is like a puzzle. You do it the first time and it takes you time and you have a lot of fun. The secound time you do it much faster and the fun doesn't last so long. Plus if you haven't been careful with the tinny pieces, you won't be able to finish it because there is almost exactly the number of pieces you need.

This set is a great choice for a child that is familar with K-nex building. Small parts that need to be stored. But the biggest confidence booster when finished. Once built, it can be displayed and played with for many hours of pleasure.

Good product. Great for kids around 7 or 8. Through play, teaches planning, physics and building structure. Would buy again.
