K'Nex pirate ship ride

K'Nex pirate ship ride!

I don't always make weapons out of K'Nex, some times i make normal things. this is one of them.

its one of the ship rides, you turn it on and the ship oscillates back and forth. its kind of cool to watch. :-)

not really anything knew but it is something to combat the influx of 11 piece pistols.

please rate and comment, just constructive criticism please, all spam will be flaged and removed.

Looks Fun! I like the base. And finally, good Spelling!

[zchan1120]

What do you mean? good spelling? He spelled asthetic wrong

[I_am_Canadian]

Did I say perfect spelling?

[zchan1120]

no, i guess not. when is your next project coming? i liked the ball machine where the tracks were entirely tubing. that one was awesome!

[dsman195276]

thanks, my spelling has improved.

I live in Alabama. At Alabama Adventure, they have a big pirate ship ride kinda just like that. It scared the crap outta me when I was 7, 8, or 9.

very nice! looks great! maybe add more detail ;-)

[dsman195276]

thanks! by more detail do you mean in the instructable, instructions, or on the ride itself?

[TeacherOfTheWays]

oh sorry i mean the ride. like maybe add a waiting like path or a sign that you see right before you get on the ride stuff like that!!

[dsman195276]

yea, but that would be hard to make out of K'Nex.

[randomocity]

Try writin it on a piece of paper and tape it or somethin then

[dsman195276]

but thats cheating !!!!!!! :-)

[DJ Radio]

who cares!!!!!!!! :-)

[Tornado96]

I don't really get how this works. Does it go back and forth or does it go all the way around the axle?

[elliotj]

Forget about the comment on the top. I swiched to a different motor after I gave the comment. FIVE STAR!!!!!

[elliotj]

I liked the design, and how it works. I was wanting to give it a five star rating, put the motor would jam every time it was going to make it swing.

[knex obsessed]

i have the proper pirate ship ride 'pirateship park' and i spin it so the ship doesn't just go back and forth, it goes round and round lol XD

[coolknexcreations]

okay thanks. I look forward to building this!

[dsman195276]

thanks, and if you click the reply button on the bottom of the comment you are responding to, it is easier for people to see your comment.

[caseyrocks]

hi

[coolknexcreations]

Where do I get the huge square panels???

[dsman195276]

they come in some sets. i would just look on ebay, they are usually in the big lots that people sell. there not really needed, you could just replace it with a white connector with four blue rods coming out(might be yellow rods, can't remember this early in the morning...)

[The Jamalam]

purely ascetic
Don't you mean aesthetic?

[mrbox]

We've got the Ship, the sword, now we need a pirate sized musket =)

[DrWeird117]

Ahem...

[ojochris]

is a musket a gun?

[mrbox]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musket

Its a gun but sort of like an old school rifle for pirates ;D

[tysonscott2002]

[TwistedParadox]

[mrbox]
