K’Nex Lava Launch Coaster
Not your typical K’Nex project
We have an almost nine year old who builds with EVERYTHING from K’Nex to Uberstixx to all types of lego’s. She even makes her own creations to include machines and things that “transform.” She asked for this for Christmas and Santa brought it for her. The product says for ages 9 and up. The reality: This coaster took two adults HOURS to assemble, and MANY of the photo-instructions were difficult to decipher.
Once you DO get it put together, it works well. It is fun to watch the car ZOOM quickly around the track. For about two minutes. Then the novelty pretty much wears off. I anticipate that our daughter will leave this up for about 2 days, then start taking it apart to build other things.
She also received the K’Nex Educational series kit about gears and that item, I feel, is much better. She has already built a few different items with it and was able to do so completely on her own.
Lava Launch!!
This is a great product. It went fast up when I used it. Roller coaster wasn’t that durable. Anyway, It’s a nice gift for someone’s birthday. Buy it!!! Recommandation: Over 9 and has to be at least 4.5′. I’m 5′ 4” right now.
Long assembly time but very cool
This thing took over a month to put together (working on it for an hour at a time off and on). Once we got it put together it was very cool and the kids loved it. Certain minor parts of the assembly did not hold together well but this could be user error. The instructions are a bit tough to manage.
