Very cool. I put together a similar roller coaster set with my daughter when she was young. It takes a long time and a lot of careful work, but they are fun in the end. The Space Mountain looks particularly nice.

They are about a 9 on the awesome scale. The prices that I have seen them go for outside the parks are a little insane but I am hopeful that the prices in the parks is a little more reasonable.

I didn't know they still made K'NEX. Cool sets though.

They should sell the Dumbo set in pairs only now.

It is selling for the same amount on LP.com so I am assuming that it will be less in the parks.

the only thing i find "cool" about those are the little K'nex figures that are decked out in Disney merchandise. Other than that, i put these on the scale of the Monorail Playset accessories...I can't stand that they don't make those things more realistic. The Dumbo set isn't bad....but the only thing that resembles Space Mountain with this set is the lift style and the somewhat round enclosure over the track. :shrug:

The WDW blog updated with prices on these:

K’NEX Space Mountain retails for $229.95 & K’NEX Dumbo the Flying Elephant retails for $69.95.

That's the price they will charge you at Downtown Disney.

Wow dumbo seems a little too cheap, but I'm not going to complain

 

[ABigBrassBand]

I remember the 90's, and the countless hours of trying to build a working Space Mountain set with my K'Nex, LEGOs, and those tracks with the wind-up cars. Now that its a reality, I might buy it to fulfill my childhood dream

It looks pretty cool, well the space mt one, but I dont think I could actually get it lol. I already have a few disney world inspired toys laying around in boxes somewhere collecting dust, and even though space mt is my absolute favorite ride, I can see this toy suffering the same fate. Plus, knex takes a lot of time and patience to build and I think I lost that patience years ago.

 

[DisneyDadof5]

I'm really really hoping they have these setup and running when I'm there in August. That way I can enjoy them, get some video, and not have to spend hours building them. :ROFLOL:

That is so cool! If I had the room I'd get a couple. Rent be damned!

On a 1 to 10 scale they rank somewhere close to "Too bad I can't afford it".

 

[harveyt0206]

This definitely ranks somewhere in the "totally awesome" range, but the reality is more along the lines of "there is simply no way that I can justify $200+ on an item like this at this point in time. Too bad for me.....

 

[blackthidot]

The Space Mountain one is awesome.

make the 2 of us. :lol:

 

[Optimus Mouse]

Awesome in theory, but there's no way I can justify spending that kind of cash.

 

[EpcotServo]

But Space Mountain doesn't have an accurate track layout or vehicle design. And dumbo doesn't tilt like that...
