K'NEX: Building Thrill Rides, a special exhibit that will captivate children and adults alike and provide them the opportunity to explore the science, math and technology behind hair-raising amusement park thrill rides.
Display models are made solely from K'NEX Rods and Connectors. The models range from a roller coaster measuring over 10 feet long to a 6 foot tall Ferris wheel and include the new Vertical Vengeance, a roller coaster made from K'NEX regular and micro parts that stands over 4 feet in height!
The realistic actions of the models will bring science, math and engineering concepts to life for visitors, who will be able to conduct simple experiments as they explore various forces, forms of energy, and types of motion.
