5.0 out of 5 stars Really Fun, January 2, 2005

My six-year-old helped me build this a few days ago and we had a lot of fun with it. It has some easy assemblies that are great for young kids who can't build the whole wheel themselves. Build time is around 3 - 4 hours and the result is well worth it. It's a lot of fun to sit and watch when the music is playing and the wheel is spinning. My only complaints are that the motor is too loud and the design doesn't allow for easy disengagement of the gears for manual spinning. And don't forget: there are instructions to build two other amusement park rides with this set for a total of three rides (but there are only enough pieces to build one at a time). Overall this is a must-have K'Nex set.

My daughter (9 at the time) received this last year and absolutely loves it! She started on building it one day and finished the next, the instructions were easy to follow and she loved the building process more than playing with it at the end!
She has built the other 2 rides as well, but enjoys the ferris wheel the most.

I got this pesent for Christmas last year. A few days later I started to make it. It took aprox.4 hours to build. It was fun at first then after 2 hours my hands were hurting and I figured out that alot of peices were wrong and I tried to undo them but my hands hurt like heck. So I left it like it was for a few days. Then a few weeks later my brothers friend came over and fixed it for me. He built it all correct. The music wored fine but the motor would not spin the BIG wheel. It also was quite loud. I dont rate this toy for kids under the age of 11. It was reallt hard. The friend of my brothers was 18. LOL
