Instructions to Build a Pirate Ship Ride
/
For each issue of BrickJournal Magazine, the BrickNerd team creates instructions for a LEGO mini-model to go with the theme of the cover story. For their recent issue with amusement park rides, we decided to create a miniature pirate ship ride!
Going For a Ride
Going to an amusement park is always one of the most thrilling adventures as a kid. The fantastic sights, the smells of popcorn and cotton candy in the air, the sounds of screaming thrill-seekers.
One of the more memorable and iconic rides from many amusement parks is the pirate ship ride that rocks back and forth like a ship on the waves. The BrickNerd team has designed a small version of this rocking ride, complete with a mini ticket stand, a ship that swings, and a ride logo!
Don’t miss the new 2L bars being used to help hang the ship or the well-placed grille tiles used to make tiny portholes. You can even change the printed tile to theme the pirate ship ride to whatever you want. How fun!
Here are the step-by-step instructions you can scroll through to build it.
This was a fun little model to design – we hope you’ll enjoy building it just as much as we did designing it!
You can download a pdf of the instructions and full part list that BrickJournal published here. You can also purchase a copy of the entire current issue here. And until next time, stay nerdy about the bricks!
