Check out the world's longest LEGO® Great Ball Contraption
14 d’abril 2021
At ToyPro you usually read about sets and MOCs that you can build yourself. We don't expect you to recreate the Great Ball Contraption in this blog post, but we couldn’t keep this set from you. See and admire the longest GBC in the world.
This GBC was on display at the LEGO® World trade show in Copenhagen in 2020. As you can see, this was even before Covid-19 took hold of Denmark. Built by 7 builders, the LEGO® marble track is a whopping 196ft long. From start to finish, a ball spends 40 minutes on the road, passing 299 modules consisting of more than 200,000 LEGO® parts. The first version of this GBC was built in 2003 and has been expanded every year since. Since 2018 the GBC holds the world record for the largest Great Ball Contraption.
Building your own LEGO® GBC
Do you like the idea of building a GBC, but prefer to start with a slightly smaller project? PV-Productions has several GBCs that are fun for both beginning and advanced builders. For example, check out his Linear Loco Lifters, Tippy Tilt Trays, Funky Ferris Wheel and Power Pit Mania. All GBC's of PV-Productions are alternates and this means that you can build them with the parts of an existing set. This way you have double the fun!
