I am utterly floored, this is absolutely the most incredible K'nex roller coaster I've ever seen. It's so smooth, such clean transitions, and such a long circuit off a single lift hill! Not to mention the efficient use of a small space. Well. Freaking. Done.
The realism of this build is incredible, the safety elements and braking systems etc were all awesome! It's been years since I last did anything with knex, might be time for me to 😁
I’m just letting it sink in that there are people out there with fully engineered & truly functioning miniature roller coasters in their back yards. From now on, whenever I begin editing my fantasy projects for the sake of practicality, I’m going to try and remember that fact.
My neighbor was a government engineer for the military and he built a 100 foot high and about 1500 foot long coaster that shot you out of your seat and into his pond at the end. It was so awesome growing up next to Donnie! He was always doing cool shit out back for us kids.
@Real do you know what he uses for the actual coaster pieces? I know that the cars are 3d printed but thats about it. The knex coaster stuff I've seen is just sets and not a build your own type of thing so if you could help I would appreciate it.
I don't often like videos on RUclips (I know I should) but I made sure to hit the thumbs up for this one. Great work! I really appreciate the time that it took for this build. Thanks for sharing!
Although it’s not the highest at the park anymore it’s definitely one of the best rides there is there. It’s fast, goes pretty high, and it gives you a great view of Lake Erie while climbing. I go to cedar point yearly and I definitely always have to ride it.
This is the most complex K'nex coaster i've seen yet. I've been looking into making custom coasters but i don't know where to start, and this showed me some things i can do. Thank you!
I can feel the airtime through the screen. Beautiful layout and I love what you did with the colors. Overall one of the best knex coasters I’ve seen in a long time.
Best K'nex coaster ever. Most of them are really fast and you only see about 20 seconds. But this was slow, and was so smooth I felt like this was a real coaster.
Brilliant! I still remember the summer of 1989 when it opened. Tallest in the world at the time. I was so excited to ride it and as it climbed halfway up that first hill I became terrified because I had never been that high on a coaster before. What a thrill!
Wow, I thought that the added weight of the camera had impacted the speed of the train, but then I see that you slowed it by 50%. Now that it's slowed down I can truly appreciate how great this build actually is. It was way too fast at 100% to tell how good the force dynamics are. You've built a real roller coaster. Too bad none of us are small enough to ride it!
This is incredible. Can't imagine the time, planning, investment that goes into building something like this. Props for being not only able but willing to do it. Respect ✊
Magnum XL-200 was literally the first coaster I ever rode. It was my senior trip and I was so tired of never taking risks, so I just got on the biggest coaster in the world (at the time) to conquer my fears because I was so terrified of them. Of course I couldn’t get enough after that and it was senior trip day at the park so they had the whole thing shut down to the public. I got right back on it and must’ve rode Raptor at least three times. Incredible experience, and I’ve been an enthusiast since. Anyway, love your dedication to it here, with some added bonuses.
I didn't really have a design, other than a rough sketch. But you can see the progress of the train design and trail and error construction starting with this video on my Magnum XL-300 playlist: ruclips.net/video/uLyiXFlWlj8/видео.html&ab_channel=3dCoaster
Wow! The magnum is one of my favorite rides, I’ve ridden it countless times and you nailed it! Even the beginning before the main hill, to the tunnel where your picture gets taken! Well done!!!
@@CoasterWriter Thank you very much, it’s a pleasure to serve the master builders out there like yourself, you keep building and we’ll keep sourcing more parts!
I love the brakes at the end, they are so smooth, and it doesn’t look like the Roller Coaster is made of Tungsten and will not break no matter how hard it impacts a strong barrier. What I mean is that some Knex Roller Coasters stop the car immediately through a barrier, which is just painful and neck-breaking to watch.
A lot of this footage seems like it was sped up. The build is impressive, but I do get the feeling that he might have had to push it along parts of the track at times and that it wouldn't actually finish this circuit without his help. No knock on him, the laws of friction really don't favor light objects, but yeah, I'm pretty sure he was guiding it by hand for parts of this, there's no way this amount of distance is possible.
@@Xtrovid unless it is several cuts it would be hard to run after it and keep bumping it. More likely is the train weighs a crapton, like a few pounds atleast.
@@A_piece_of_broccoli "physics is scalable" Errr. No, not really, there are a hell of a lot of constants involved, and the equations aren't all linear, you can't just increase the mass of an object proportional to the scale of what you're trying to model and expect the behavior to be the same, especially not if you start needing to take friction into account.
@@Xtrovid The course was slowed down but the chain lift was sped up, and the trains are massive and weigh 4-5 pounds. Combine that with custom 3d printed cars with custom-made ball bearings and a sturdy support structure that has rods in the ground, and you hold a ton of your speed.
DUDE. This so awesome!!!!! I watched a few of your vlogs about making this thing, but the end result is amazing! A rollercoaster in the back-yard? AWESOME!! Take my like, this is seriously cool!
I've always been a k'nex guy. Honestly I've never understood the fascination w Legos. Knex are way more functional conducive to large scale projects. Thanks, that was great.
It's the Magnum XL 200 from Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio. 100% perfect replica. Perfect tunnel placement. The big hill seemed the entire 205 ft tall! Just Amazing!
Awesomeness personified......OMG, whomever the genius that created this deserves some good head! Covid really brought out the creativity in a lot of folk. I'd love to take a ride at a $5 entry fee!
Now that's a well designed coaster, and if my hours playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 have taught me anything, the balance between intensity and excitement is a fine line. But imo this guy nailed it 👍👍 If I was a mouse, I would be lining up every day for a go

@@jonny-b4954 nope
It wasn’t an entire backyard. It was a relatively small space next to a fence.
You should see the real one! It is about to scale!
The weird thing is, it’s got that consistently smooth sound you’d hear on a normal coaster. Which is awesome.
Yea but also look at the background for a sec.

Virtual virtual roller coaster.

This is the most amazing K'nex coaster I've ever seen!
It's the only one I've seen...
I seriously don’t understand how anyone could dislike this video.. this is amazing
Might be the very loud sound.
They're jealous because they don't have an awesome rollercoaster in their backyard.
@@HoneyBadgerVideos Yeah because turning down the volume is soooo difficult
because its not even close to magnum layout
I neither like or dislike, I just think it's a waste of yard space. I wonder how long it took to build and how much time to take it down?
I expected a cool rollercoaster but this goes far beyond my expectations! Great work❤

A massive enthusiast who spent a decade designing rides in simulations, this is one of the best Knex ones ive seen from a track shaping perspective.
Lol come on dude, we all know "designing rides in simulations" actually = playing fuck-tons of Roller Coaster Tycoon & Planet Coaster xD.
@@Cooe. wrong, the game is called No Limits Coaster & No Limits coaster 2, which is way more of simulator than an actual game.

This is absolutely incredible. I’ve ridden that coaster many times and you nailed it. Congrats.
this is very different from the magnum XL-200. they even changed the name slightly.
I've been on the Magnum many times. I have to say this person did an excellent job.
i've been to cedar point once and rode this
This is no where near what the magnum is like.
Lololololol
@@onefastneonrt that’s why it’s called magnum xl 300. It’s inspired by magnum xl 200

Wow, that lift hill is HUGE for being on a knex coaster! Looked at least 15 feet tall!
Brilliant! I still remember the summer of 1989 when it opened. Tallest in the world at the time. I was so excited to ride it and as it climbed halfway up that first hill I became terrified because I had never been that high on a coaster before. What a thrill!
