The seminars are something very positive, promoting K'NEX is positive, but it's very vague in it's current state. I'd suggest working on that part a bit more, it's probably the one reason people will mainly back such a project.
Considering you've built a few things including a 9ft ferriswheel and seeing the pieces you have left, you're not even close to getting there though. Hell, 1500 USD worth of pieces might not even get you there, considering you get a lot of pieces that you do not require as you want to buy from e-bay sellers. I think you are underestimating the amount of pieces required for such a build, and how such a structure has to be build. It's not just a matter of upscaling the entire ride. It's definitely possible, but don't ever underestimate something of this scale. There are too many variables that can ruin the project.
Show people you are capable of building something this size, right now it's just an idea, there is nothing that shows people that it can actually happen. Calculations, test models etc. Something of this size is not something that should be created without a proper plan.
So far I'm not convinced to pledge for something like this. Good luck anyhow.

I feel like a little bit more thought needs to go into this. If you had more projects to show what you can build, this would help you greatly in getting it displayed somewhere. It's an ambitious project for sure and I wish you the best of luck.
