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

My 8-yr-old daughter got this for Xmas and we built this together. It was a nice "bonding" experience between mother and daughter. She built the base all by herself, and needed a little help when it got to the wheel. The finished product gave her a great feeling of accomplishment when she first turned it on and saw it spin all by itself. I asked her if she felt proud of herself and I could just see in her eyes her excitement and pride when she answered yes.

Easy to assemble although the music unit would not attach to the ferris wheel and had to just sit next to it.

It was entertaining.

Over all a great product.

This toy was my favorite Christmas present this year!I love to do this kind of thing because it is so much fun!On some of the reviews it says that this thing was hard to put together.They probably just said that bacause of how many directions there were.There are a lot of directions but they are very,very,very easy to follow.I'm only 12 and had the ferris wheel done in about 30 minutes!The other rides took about 30 minutes also!This is a really great toy that is definately worth the price!I definately reccomend this toy!The rides are huge and really work good if you connect the gears correctly[which is very easy]!

I do think they should have at least gave you a carrying case for the pieces though,which they don't.

I got this toy last year for Christmas at my Grandparents' house, but started building it anyway. It took my dad and I about 34 min. to finish it, mostly because my little cousin kept on playing with the music module, it took us that long. It's about 2-3 ft. high, and about 7 in. long. When we had to go home, we had a hard time fitting it into our truck. As soon as we got home, I played with it for about an hour and a half. This toy is very amusing. (Warning, small parts included. Not reccomended for infants that still put miscellanious things in their mouths.)
