Review: KNEX 2-in-1 Ferris Wheel

I love the amusement park line that K’NEX puts out. It’s just really fun to build rollercoasters, Ferris Wheels and all sorts of other dizzy-inducing rides. And the fact they all tie together to a motor, just adds to the fun. I was recently sent the K’NEX 2-in-1 Ferris Wheel to take for a test drive. I figured Ryan might be up for the challenge and he certainly was. He dove right in and finished …

Win a K’NEX Hyperspeed Hangtime Roller Coaster (Ends 11/10)

As my kids get older, they’re both getting a bit more daring when it comes to roller coasters. On a recent trip to Hershey Park, Ryan dragged me onto this crazy ride called the Wildcat. It was rated a 5 (out of 5) in terms of how aggressive a ride it was. Oh, did I mention I’m so not a fan of roller coasters? It was Ryan’s second time on the Wildcat and my first …

Once you have collectible figures and T-shirts featuring your characters, you know you’ve made it. That’s why I did a full-on Happy Dance (no, there isn’t any video, sorry. But trust me, my dancing is not pretty) when I learned that K’NEX now has a whole line of Plants vs. Zombies building sets! They sent me …

K'NEX Thunderbolt Strike

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m really not a fan of roller coasters. Never have been and probably never will. Thankfully my kids haven’t been too crazy into them… yet. They are starting to enjoy some of the more basic ones when they’re at an amusement park with their cousins. But they haven’t been clamoring for me or Allie to take them on any wild rides lately. Whew. I do, however, …
