K'NEX Thrill Rides Classic Amusement Park Building Set Review

Product overview

There are over 700 K’NEX pieces in this set! Be prepared for the long haul with this one as it is likely to take many hours to complete. Once built the set really is quite impressive, especially when the wheel turns round.  Overall, a timely project but one that is well worth the effort. A good set to be proud of once built.
