Looking for a great Christmas present for your kids that doesn’t require them to be looking at a screen of any sort? Have no fear! I’ve got one for you! The KNEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster is the perfect gift for the 9-12-year-old in your life!
A creepy carnival-themed coaster of fun, the Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster stands over 2 1/2 feet high, and this set provides hours of amusement, problem-solving, and brainteasers around every bend—and no vertigo! (In real life, I have vertigo due to the excellent virus I caught, so I can verify that it is not vertigo-inducing and almost as much fun as riding a roller coaster!)
However, Madison and Will (mostly Madison) put together these 580 parts! This includes over 14 feet of track, and a motorized chain lift! Madison loves putting these together, so we just let her have fun. She followed the included easy-to-follow, step-by-step building instructions (downloadable instructions for a 2nd coaster too!). The coaster ends up being over 2 ½ feet tall!
Honestly, that was the quietest my kitchen has ever been! The kit is pretty awesome, and KNEX always provides a great way to keep your kids engaged without breaking the bank.
Want to get your own KNEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster? You can find it exclusively at Walmart! Enjoy watching us play!

I’ve seen this roller coaster a couple of times over the last few weeks and every time I see it I think about how much my grandkids would love this. I really need to get this for them for Christmas. They would be thrilled!
That’s a great kit. I’ve been giving my kids K’Nex as gifts for years. They really get the kids excited about STEM.
I think my husband would have just as much fun as my boys with this!! What a great kit from Knex to give for the holidays!
I would love to get this for my son. I think he would enjoy building it. He loves anything that he can build and make to his imagination.
My youngest would go nuts for this. She loves all sorts of building sets.
What a fun gift for older kids. Your correct not in front of some console. Goes up so space shouldn’t be to bad
This is such an awesome looking kit – I would have loved to have built something like this when I was younger.

This looks like a ton of fun. My toddlers are too little for this right now, but I can definitely see getting this as a gift for them in the future.
My kids are builders and creatives and I adore that about them. My son is big into robotics and stem and his brain works so differently than mine. I love to see what he creates.
My son used to love building K’Nex with his friends. This looks like a really cool set from them.
