Linear Sychronous Motors, they are what is used to power most launch coasters and use a "Eddy Current" by creating their own magnetic field to accelerate the train, examples are like Taiga at Linamakki, VelociCoaster at Universal's Islands of Adventure, and Abyssus, at Energylandia@@Way_rilliam_wohnson
This is definitely the largest knex coaster on record I’ve seen in years since Balrog. The air time hill is absolutely incredible and one of the largest in knex. The mountains add a nice touch to this amazing project.
Former builder here. Weights under the trains (Pennies, magnets, etc) can really help keep momentum. I even used clay before. They will require you to beef up your supports a little though. Also, staggering your grey rods in your supports using small “granite” or yellow rods will keep your supports MUCH firmer and solid
Pretty insane! I can't imagine just how crazy the real falcon's flight will be (if it actually opens!) It would be super cool if you mounted a mini camera to a train to get pov footage
This is a very large and intricate build, it took a lot of planning and work and you should feel proud. The problem I have with K’nex roller coasters in general is that if you had a human small enough to ride the coaster they wouldn’t survive it. The relative speeds, the resulting G’s they’d experience, and the twists and turns would turn the little human to a skin bag of minced organs and broken bones. I’m a ball machine guy myself because there’s stuff that is infinitely cool you can build, but there’s no thought to comparing it to a real life object, and whether it would be survivable.
Although you’re right to a certain degree, one should keep in mind that when you scale down a rollercoaster, the mass of the trains should also be scaled down. The plastic trains he uses are relatively much too light compared to the real thing. If you slow the video down to 0,5x, you can see that the forces and speeds already look much more realistic.
You can't scale gravity. Because its smaller its going to look like its going much faster. If you blew it up to full size it would go the same speed as the real thing so technically its right. Lol. Dam physics! Haha.
@@rublie1426 Yep, this is exactly how miniature sets are used in movies. You have to film them at high speed frame rates, then slow them down in post. I'd love to see this setup in slow mo so it's silky smooth. You could do the maths and workout exactly the frame rate you need in order to match the same speeds it should be IRL.
Dude this was amazing. In 2003, I got the Storm Mountain set for Christmas and absolutely loooooved it so much. I became obsessed with Knex rollercoaster setups and went round my neighbour's house a few years later to combine our sets to make a mini Kingda Ka. This was amazing. Also, as a side note, the flow of this video was really nice.
I don’t know what might be the largest K’nex coaster ever built, but yours is surely in the running. Puts my CDX-Blocks+LEGO extended Xcelerator (unfinished & stuck in development hell) to absolute shame.
Awesome work, it really shows the capabilities of knex. It’s impressive how far these recreations have came recently , and everything seems to be fairly proportional in size to one another. Good job, looking forward to the next project.
I'm a rollercoaster enthusiast and this is really cool! Use to try and make my own Knex coasters when I was younger but they never turned out this good!
This is next level. Every part of this video had me laughing, I was nervous time after time after seeing how many things had to be put into storage. AND ROLLER COASTER DREAMS? I HAVE THOSE TOO. too many. That base which uses no 7 way connectors is genius, like my jaw dropped because it looked so cool and effective. nerd stuff haha what a crazy 2 and a half months for you. so cool to see it all finished.
@CoasterObsessed this vid is amazing and we appreciate the time and effort you put into these vids. Most of youtube is gaming where you sit down and look at a screen, but you put effort and physically put together these projects. Good job keep on making content and grinding so you can make it to a big youtuber 👍🏼
mannnn why couldn't it have been anywhere elseeeeee. Shoutout to all the cishet white guy coaster enthusiasts yall go have fun on this shit. Like a 100ft drop and it feels like a predrop... I need to coup the government of Saudi Arabia just so i can get on this thing LOL awesome vid too btw, really impressive :)
That was amazing my friend! I love rollercoasters and I think I have now caught the same bug as you! I’m going to start a k’nex coaster obsession! Hahah! Well done on that triumph of a build! Love it 🎉
I really like the fact youtube has these sort of coaster updates. I never woulda been able to do this style I was an old sscoasters user though, like what you're doing here. the accurate support structure was very nicely done. you have a unique build style!
I love how that boosted lifthill turned out! But also you gave me terrible flashbacks to that feeling when you wake up to find a big part of your coaster toppled over in the wind.
That would be awesome! One of my goals was to get in contact with people working on it!! I sent it to intamin and the social media accounts of quiddiya but they haven’t responded yet! Thank you!
insane, that base design that doesn't use any 7 connectors is super cool as well, I might have to use that. most of the new pieces (blue rails/white flexi rods/surfer car) come from the 'shark run' set that was a walmart exclusive!
Excellent work, as a suggestion, it would be epic if you got a micro cam and put it in the front seat of the coaster and gave people a real riders eye view for a lap of the circuit
Please consider Subscribing! New coasters coming soon!!!
You should get a small clip-on mic for those shots where you're far away from the camera :)
I got one part way through the video 😂
@@CoasterObsessedoh ok Im only like a quarter of the way through 😂
Just shared it on my channel!
i love this video but in falconsflight is alsow a loop. where is ist ?
This model is actually a bigger ride than some kiddie coasters
yeah lol
It is 😮😮
3rd
Cool
If your baby is 2 inches
Can't believe Knex doesn't sell LSMs yet.
Real!
What is lsm?

Amazing work ! That's awesome 🤩
Thank you so much!! I means a ton coming from you!!!
Get this man a sponsorship!!
@intaminofficial I love what you do, despite not being on any of your rides! Much love to your work!
So incredible homie.
This surely qualifies him for an all-expenses paid trip to be one of the first on the ride!!! 👏

Absolutely epic project dude. Amazing work! 🤯 The super booster was craaaazzyy
15:45 got me trippin 🤯🤯🤯 ITS SO POWERFUL
dude, this is amazing! i’m actually blown away 😆
Pretty insane! I can't imagine just how crazy the real falcon's flight will be (if it actually opens!) It would be super cool if you mounted a mini camera to a train to get pov footage
The pov is having trouble but I’m working hard at it!
@@CoasterObsessed awesome!
Great! Waiting for the POV
Your hard work and dedication is amazing! The coaster is fantastic, well done! 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!!!
This is probably one of the coolest Knex creations that I've seen on youtube! Amazing job getting it that accurate!
C'est le meilleur roller coaster k'nex que j'ai vu ! Il est superbe, un gros gg pour le travail de fou !

@@BBROPHOTO yeah that would be very cool to see! You can already get an idea though by changing the playback speed of the video right here on youtube!
@@BBROPHOTO actually just tested it and 0,3x speed looks quite realistic!
Its absolutely insane how good of a job you dit with this! that airtime hill looks amazing! Cudos on all the hard work and time you put into this.
You've got an impressive brain on your shoulders, methodical, but also creative, perfect for engineering- I hope it doesn't go to waste.
Borderline threat 💀💀

I’ve been looking forward to seeing this project completed. Great job.
Amazing job. The scaling is flawless. The camel back looks incredible!
OH MY GOODNESS YOU ARE INCREDIBLE
I don't know what's more beautiful, the majestic mountains in the background or that glorious roller coaster rattling through the foreground.
Dropped a sub! Insane build bro. Very impressed with your work and dedication!

The amount of dedication on this is insane and the result is amazing. Well done on this project and I hope there will be many more.
You can count on it!

The snowy mountains in the background are so cool too!
Just got a comment from intamin!
Imagine Being His Neighbor And Going Outside And You See Bro Just Casually Making Falcons Flight In His Backyard
building in the dark with a headlamp 😂. amazing build bro!
mannnn why couldn't it have been anywhere elseeeeee. Shoutout to all the cishet white guy coaster enthusiasts yall go have fun on this shit. Like a 100ft drop and it feels like a predrop... I need to coup the government of Saudi Arabia just so i can get on this thing LOL
awesome vid too btw, really impressive :)
Right on dude. So happy to see Knex coasters being built and the bar continuing to be pushed! Fantastic work
That was amazing my friend! I love rollercoasters and I think I have now caught the same bug as you! I’m going to start a k’nex coaster obsession! Hahah! Well done on that triumph of a build! Love it 🎉
This is nuts.
this man makes his videos on an iPhone (I think) and makes some of the best content on yt, absolute amazing.
The only thing not done on my SE is thumbnails lol
the top hat is so perfect
Man, this is so insane! Killin it! The vids are getting better and better too!
Sick thumbnail dude! The amount of effort you put into this project is nuts!! Can’t wait to see what you do next.
That was amazing! Congratulations on accomplishing that!
WELL DONE MY FRIEND GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT YOU ARE GOING TO GO FAR IN LIFE WITH YOUR ENTHUSIASM
This is so amazing! You did an amazing job on this!
I was so investeeeedddddd. That's amazing. A bucket list coaster for sure.
The beautiful snow capped mountain in the background behind the coaster. Perfect Kino right there
Oddly enough, came from your Reddit post! This is amazing! Be very proud!
This is awesome man! Can’t believe you were actually able to build it!
You are the King. I am so impressed by you. You need a indoor space like a hall or something. This is just to good. Congratulations
I really like the fact youtube has these sort of coaster updates. I never woulda been able to do this style I was an old sscoasters user though, like what you're doing here. the accurate support structure was very nicely done. you have a unique build style!
Your incredible dedication and hard work really shine through! The coaster you've created is fantastic, can't wait for future projects ahead!
SICK! I Have A Planet Coaster Recreation On My Channel But This Is Next Level Man!
Your better than most knex RUclipsrs, hope the algorithm serves you well
That's massive! You are so talented Coaster Obsessed!!
Incredibly well done. Even in knex the scale is unreal. Im sure that the real thing will be jaw dropping.
I love how that boosted lifthill turned out! But also you gave me terrible flashbacks to that feeling when you wake up to find a big part of your coaster toppled over in the wind.
Dude it’s crazy that you build these. You gotta come to cedar point this summer to ride TT2
THAT WOULD BE SO COOL! Ima try my best to see what I can do
You are dedicated to your craft! It looks incredible and I can’t even imagine the amount of time and effort that went into this. Great job!
Amazing man. You are the Knex Master.
Absolutely love this, your the reason i got a few sets and started building my own designs, can’t wait to see what you come up with in the future
this is absolutely incredible! i cant imagine what it would be like to have this in your house. i'd play with this everyday haha!
Great job!
This is incredible. No idea how it has not gone viral yet.
That's super sick!🔥
Dude this is EPIC!
This is insane.. I’m amazed. Shooting up that balcony, then coming over the 500ft hill part, had my hyped. 🙌🏾
Damn, I love it when people can do the projects they are really passionate about it through RUclips, great work!
this coaster is crazzzy, so impressive. Best back yard theming i could immagine
Just adore your commitment to the project! What a backdrop too! Honestly, you should be rewarded with an invitation to the real thing's premiere.
That would be awesome
The pure dedication is crazy and made for an amazing turn out
Amazing video. New subscriber.🎉
you make it look easy idk how it’s possible for something this big. color me impressed!
So sick, got to be my favourite knex build of all time. Seriously congrats! Would love to see a pov.
Absolutely marvelous!! Bravo!
This was sick great video
Fantastic project!! I sent your video link to my fiends building the ride. Hopefully they’ll be in touch with you. Great work!
That would be awesome! One of my goals was to get in contact with people working on it!! I sent it to intamin and the social media accounts of quiddiya but they haven’t responded yet! Thank you!
The knex maker and you is the best duo
This is so cool man! Congrats on finishing this, and I admire your commitment to the project.
You look like loving your passion ! Very well done !!! You can apply in a company building roller coasters :-)
very very nice! Congratgs! You should consider a fpv footage! You can find some pretty small and cheap cameras with ok quality! would be nice
That was awesome. You definitely earned my free sub
I liked this even before it started. You rock dude!
Simply EPIC in realism and accuracy. Incredible!
Wow! That is truly impressive!
Very cool build. I have to say I’m impressed by the scale of that coaster
insane, that base design that doesn't use any 7 connectors is super cool as well, I might have to use that. most of the new pieces (blue rails/white flexi rods/surfer car) come from the 'shark run' set that was a walmart exclusive!
This is genuinely incredible, huge congratulations to you!!
Man this is unbelievable you recreated a coaster at this scale. I’m actually blown away, shoutout to you!
Yes! So cool.
I really like this video especially the coasters I hope you accept quest because can you build hyperia it also looks cool🎉
This is insanely awesome!!! You should be proud of yourself !!!
Great job! It looked and ran fantastic.
This is insane! Great work. New sub here!
Those odd orange things around 12:39 were used for the Looping pirate ship set that came out in 2005.
WOW !!!
I did not know you still had to go to school, but awesome Rollercoaster
Excellent work, as a suggestion, it would be epic if you got a micro cam and put it in the front seat of the coaster and gave people a real riders eye view for a lap of the circuit
