This weekend, I walked through my parents' backyard and when I sat down to drink a refreshment, I noticed a piece of K'NEX goodness made its way into said backyard. It consisted of lots of purple and blue 3D connectors, as well as blue rods. All in all, it was quite an interesting view and I decided to take a picture of the contraption.

What an interesting turn of events.

You've got so much k'nex that it's growing around your house.

You may have answered your own question. Yellow for one side of the dueler/grey on the other?

The other side doesn't appear to have the blue rod base at all yet. Perhaps he will add it later. My first thought was a Joris en de Draak (Spelling???) recreation. And I can see the lift angle in the top right. Although, I'm not so sure if the lifts are parallel or not...

I don't think it's a dueler. Not just simply a dueler.

It is indeed an interesting turn of events. Is that some kind of track layer with green x-ties in the top right corner? I'm thinking custom angle lift if it is.

Looks like a Ferriswheel to me. But then it would be in the wrong forum section and Gump is staff so he would have to ban himself.

Come on guys, it's a drop tower.


But I'm already designing one with him O.O?

I may tend to be over complicating things but Joris en de Draak opened in 2010. 2+0+1+0= 3. woodie_03?

Well... quite a lot of the evidence points towards Joris en de Draak.
The criss-cross pattern in this picture:

Not sure if this is related but it's still sort of relevant:
http://foto.vijfzint.../42856_real.jpg


But then I found this page...
Joris en de Draak « RPRides ? Builder Of Professional Knex Rides
I don't think this is finished but I'm just putting it out there.

Perhaps I might be over speculating just a touch but I've always been good at that. :D

That doesn't seem far fetched at all.

Another theory:
6 is the number of the devil (a.k.a Gump), and since Joris en de Draak is a dueller it has 2 tracks, so 6 / 2 = 3.
The evidence is clear; this is a recreation of Joris en de Draak.

You didn't think we'd figure it out that fast, did ya Gump?
