It’s very rare to find someone with so much intelligence, patience, and courage. You have REAL talent.
Wow, that really deserves to be ON DISPLAY somewhere, where MILLIONS of people can see it up close.
"Colossal Racer looks too intense for me."
“Colossal Racer is really good value”
I love you.
“I want to go on something more thrilling than Colossal Racer.”
I miss that game.
"I don't want to go on colossal racer in the rain"
Incredible!
Thanks!
Hello there didn’t expect such an old comment
It’s so nice
:)
Man this is so awesome! I just don't get how anybody could not like it. Every detail is great from the loading station to the last hill!

I don't care about coasters. I don't care about K'nex. But even with that, I put a thumb up because of the nice work, nice design, and well it's just cool and fun.
BrickTsar Toys I don't now how to speak right now
this isnt awesome...
its EPIC
BrickTsar Toys ur right cause it is big
Wow, it's really cool that you're still making these... and taking them to new heights! Rock on. I remember finding your Woodchip Racers video years ago, always love to see these knex coasters.
Woodchip racers was one of my personal favorites to build. Thanks a bunch!
Magnificent video of an extraordinary build! Loved the "ride along" fpv shot!
The side-by-side POV part _almost_ looks like it's 3D if you get close enough to the screen. It gets you dizzy though.
it's vr

Hoi
it looks like it but they're not the same frame as one side is. Both are red and blue. How you make them cross eye? By having two of the same thing to get the cross eye effect. Back up far enough (about 24 inches from your screen) and cross eye.
Yeah if you get close and cross your eyes
That is quite awesome. The whole time I'm seeing all the equipment around you and thinking, this is an active, working shop which must be closed for business for, maybe a weekend, maybe a holiday? That means it will be open again soon and the entire coaster will have to be dismantled soon... so enjoy it while you can, because you probably cannot for too long. Eh? Makes me think, unless you yourself are the shop owner, that you have a pretty cool boss... It also means the 400-500 hours build time was mostly ahead of the time video'ed, in building the modules that are pieced together during your frenzied during off-hours. Clearly, passion! Love it.
Please come back to RUclips!
Hey, I am responding to this so he would see...
I've seen you haven't been posting lately (like 3 years) not saying you have to or anything but I am starting to build knex roller coasters myself and learning new things but that also comes with a bunch of questions I have such as.
1. For the actual track that the coaster runs on, do you connect them or something because in earlier coasters you made you said this took like 4 or 5 sets but how can you connect them or cut them in a way I've been trying to figure it out and until i find out I am only limited to a certain length of the coaster
2. Another is if you could make a video on the certain way you connect the track to the main body that supports and what types of pieces you use for special things like loops, spirals, and downhill turns.
3. On the last thing is how do you make such long chains without the chain not getting disrupted, for me when I try to make a bigger than usual chain it always piles up at the gear that pulls it or somewhere.
4. My last question would be just please explain how you use certain structures to support the track.
that's it and thank you, I hope you post something in the near future
I forgot to sadly say that from what I can see I can't buy anymore tracks because they discontinued it. I never really tried checking out on their site but I am sad to realize that they switched the more advanced and fun knex builds to kidde tracks and coasters. I think they should of kept it and just added the other well rip I will see if I still can but other wise it's a big letdown. D:
This is like Gemini at cedar point
+James Currie I was thinking the same thing!
anders helling Or Blue Streak.
So gp
I was thinking the rebel yell
@@thehunterator520 why did they change the name from rebel yell to racer 75?
by far my favorite knex roller coaster and video. awesome build, awesome video, the POV on board cameras is the best. subscribe, like, favorite! all your other builds are awesome too!
You're the best! Thanks a bunch
YOU I PUT ON SOME VR GOGGLES AND THAT SHIT WAS AMAZING
Holy smokes this looks awesome!
I appreciate how long the track is and how the trains can make it all the way. I've seen other K-nex coasters, they would have the same height of a hill, but be far less long because the trains would los e their energy to make it all the way. Good design in making the track rigid enough so there is no loss of energy in the track and can have a decent long enough track. Good job!
Jeez, the scale g-forces would probably make people pass out.
LOL IKR, especially those airtime hills at the end
Remember that the smaller mass of the trains mean lower inertia. If you scaled it up to life size it would take longer for the trains to accelerate so it wouldn't go through the track nearly as fast
OMG! I love how you put little working gates at the loading station.
That literally became my favorite k'nex roller coaster just now!
Thanks!
Damn, someone had a shit ton of free time on their hands to pull of that masterpiece!
It's so smooth and satisfying when it goes over the humps
that's crazy how you got perfect pacing throughout the whole course
Cool racing roller coaster made with K'nex!
This was the dream set when I was a kid!
wow dit is echt super mooi gemaakt ongeloofelijk,wat kunnen jullie dat knap,jullie zijn echte bouwers,dit is heel biizonder👍👍👍👍
melle niewold het is als joris en de draak
Sjoerd Maas joris en de draak is heel anders
Now THAT is dedication.
You nailed with the POV. Great work.
Would have been nice to hear it running instead of the music and did you build this at your job
Steve Leahy definitely second this. Music is ok but just background volume, the actual sound should be much louder.
Makes me want to build a faithful recreation of the American Eagle at Great America in IL. Incredible, down to the platform design and gates.
That's ... I mean ... how should I say? I'll try WOW! Unbelievably great the roller coaster. By that I mean the other roller coasters too! Constructing and building the track, you really have to enjoy it! 👍👏👏👏👏👏
The music lined up nicely, at the end, during the "first person" perspective ride along. Good job!
Thanks!
So cool. Even the loading gates
This is incredible. I also want to point out also that this knex coaster has a combined track length of both sides that is far taller than Goliath at six flags. Lol. For that stat alone, I say what a feat!
That's pretty darn impressive.
This brings back memories
i used to have some k'nex sets when i was 4 , and they were so hard but fun to build .
I loved knex when i was little. This looks so cool!!!
Who ever U R that made this mini coaster that's some talent U have.AWSOME !
That is an amazing build you have great skill in building that!
the airtime though 🔥🔥
Airtime is the best!
this reminds me of Lightning Racer at Hershey Park, awesome coaster
That airtime looks sick!
Best design I've seen. Kudos!
Thanks!
The pacing is awesome. Very realistic
This is beautiful, everything I ever made was all different colors, missing pieces etc.
My fingers hurt just looking at all those connections. 😮
if i was as small as a lego minifig totally would go on that
Very cool, Almost like we actually got to ride it!! SO much work must have went into building this set great job!!
I like it it was cool I also liked the POV.
Very cool home coaster. Well done!
Thats how a rollercoaster feels without trim breaks 😄
In my view, K'NEX are like the next generation Tinker Toys.
Hey knexpert06! Great to see you're still making k'nex coasters! You most likely don't remember me but back in 2008 you were my inspiration for building k'nex coasters on my channel knexcoasterdude. It is just awesome to see you're still doing this. I entered a k'nex robot into knexpert 2008, but did not win! You are the best on RUclips. Keep it up my friend!
Time you go full scale. . . . Love it. . .
This is a great way to spend a lot of your time in a good way🤗
It's just like "The Racer" from King's Island!
Where the hell do you get all that knex from?! must of taken ages to build
I've slowly collected parts over the years.
RaDicAl
I agree

RaDicAl it's a 600$ set I want it so bad
I knew the pink one would win!
This is so cool!
Man this is such an awesome K’Nex Roller Coaster. I used to play with my K’Nex when I was younger. I would always try and build a roller coaster or something equivalent to it. Awesome job!!!
WOOOOOOOAAAAAAAH. EVEN ALI A CANT CLICKBAIT THIS. THIS IS AWESOME
This would definitely be a nice ride.
Woah, this thing sure is mesmerizing to look at. The piece count is likely so large that you would need to use astronomy math terms like, "Oh yeah it uses 16 x 10^4 pieces"
You're probably right! I wish I had another couple hundred hours of free time to count all the pieces.
Wow...very impressive! That would take a lot of Screamin' Serpent sets!! This track system is far superior to the track in the newer sets.
This wouldn've been even more epic if you found a way to display who won. Like the first one to hit the final chain would ding a flag or something. Of course, this is long gone, but if you ever do a racer again, I'd like to see that.
Great how it has the camel back from the original construction before the flat brake run replaced it
That’s incredible!
Shut up and take my money!! Lol great build.. and great video! :)
Super cool. Totally enjoyed this coaster and video. Great job. 😊🖤
That is roller coaster is super cool!
So much time and effort like dude yo should have 2 millions subs
Well, at my current rate I should hit 2 million subs in 1,750 years
This is really awesome , great job
2:09 Call this the Neckbreaker
O.G Autistler ...the shit?
The layout you have follows an almost identical path to a wood coaster near me, Wild Rails at Valleyfair. Though Wild Rails is a single track instead of racing awesomeness.
this looks like a racing version of high roller at valley fair
Wish I could ride this. 😅 Looks amazing.
idk why this is in my recommended but I like it!
This is incredible
The trains look sooo cute
The airtime looks violent
No words, supercoolamazingreathiper!!!!!Yeahhhhh.
I love that! I want one.. Great engineering!
Very impressive!! Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
Incredible. Sharing on The Awesomer.
I love that ride!!!
cant wait till tiny 360 degree cams are available lol great vid
That'd be awesome!
Ha! This reminds me of the raptor track coasters in that they move so quickly along their layouts that it's over in a flash.
That’s incredible great job man
Really excellent ( from France ) !!!
Great Scenery
That would be awesome to have a real 2 lane roller coaster with a double loop the loop cross over 😱
I think the blue side needs to be retracked, it's a bit shaky on the lift haha. Awesome work!
Fun Fact: Coaster Engineers actually experiment with K'Nex to design their creations
Awesome !
The coolest thing about this video is the old school pencil sharpener on the wall.
Nice build.
I love it because looks like a lot of ejector air time
Love The POV
Astonishing!
I would love to build something similar to this but on a slightly smaller scale, but not sure how to get started, any details and info to get me started in the right direction would be amazing!! Excellent job by the way, truly incredible!!
It's just like The Racer at Kings Island.
You have WAY too much free time on your hands. GREAT JOB!!!
