Yinz kids wanted to go to the amusement park today, didn’t you? I’m sorry but since it’s raining, I don’t think it’s going to be much fun. Let’s stay inside and build our KNEX big wheel together instead. I know it’s not quite the same, but it’s a six foot tall Ferris Wheel, so it’s sure to be impressive. Maybe you can learn more about how a real Ferris Wheel works for the next time we get to ride one!

K’Nex also offers Ferris Wheel sets, with pieces and directions specifically tuned to building a Ferris Wheel. These kits come in different size Ferris Wheels, with some including motors to make them rotate.
