The world’s largest rubber band ball goes on display soon and has been transported from it’s home to a museum in Florida where it will be displayed. The ball is 118kg and it has taken six years to complete the 2.1 meter tall ball. The owner of the ball said “It’s the world’s largest and the world record is going to be hard to break”. He was glad that it was going on display for everyone to see. He also said it was sad to see it go but it will be seen by lots of people.
The ball is made up of more than 300,000 bands and he plans on adding 2000 more. The ball will be on show at Ripley’s Believe it or not museum who are based in Orlando who are a museum that deals in bizarre events and items that are so strange that people have questioned whether they are real.
The former record holder was Steve Milton who lived in Eugene, Oregon. He created a 4,600 lb ball using 175,000 rubber bands. The ball of bands is now going to be on show at the museum but it will still be near enough for him to go and see it. Also it will now be seen by lots of other people which will maybe show that what some people think isn’t real can be possible!
