As you can see theres a Dumbo ride also. Thats 80 bucks. They look O.K. but for the price, not worth it too me. A good collectible though.

Giant, enormous rip-off of epic proportions.

And you posted the same link twice instead of a video.

Yeah i've seen it before and it's an uber rip off!

You can buy five Loopin' Lightnings with that money. I wouldn't buy that if you tried to force me.

I saw it at disney when I went on Thrusday.I like it.This Saturday I'm going to disney again.I'm going to gey the dumbo ride.

If they made the cars look like the actual ones i might consider it.

If I was at disney I would beg my parents to buy me that but, its too expensive for me to buy sets. I use only micro track and I need alot of specific parts to build.

DANG! That dumbo ride looks TIGHT!!!!!
Anyway, it is a huge rip-off, No suprise from knex.

[BGTKing]

Disney more so than K'NEX I can imagine.

[commando]

the dumbo ride looks sweet but the space mountain ride sucks. knex needs to go back to making ss style coasters.

[W-e-s-l-e-y]

I hate that space mountain set, But dumbo is pretty cool.

Imagine if they came out with a Space Mountain set using the SS style and have a huge cardboard cutout mountain/building like the micro version. Now that would be epic! Now the reason why this set is so expensive is because its made exclusively for the Disney Parks and Disney can charge that pirce cause there is no competitors selling them cheaper.

If you wonder why all Disney Merch at the park is so expensive is because thousands of dollars every day are stolen from the stores/gift shops. I know this cause I have a friend that's a manager that works for Disney. What happens is if someone shoplifts from the stores a security manager has to catch them in the act on camera. If a castmember see they took something they can't really do anything do anything. So they are making up for the lost revenue by charging more for there products.
