Join me on this 7 week project as I build a 20ft tall recreation of the iconic Top Thrill Dragster.
This intermin hydrolic launch coaster opened in 2003 at Cedar Point in Ohio USA and used to be the former world record holder for the talled roller coaster standing at 420ft tall. beaten by KingDa Ka in 2005 that stands at 456ft
This project was so tall that I had to hire scaffolding to put it up. so this ended up being one of my most expensive projects to date. so please if you enjoy the content then remember to:
Like, Comment, Share and watch the video all the way through.
Thanks everyone for 4,000 subscribers!

I wish i had the money for these. I had a few as a child and it either came with missing parts or my family would lose or destroy my builds and parts. I hope to get one soon its been a dream for sure, great video!!!
Its more reliable than the real one was… impressive
Your mom helping is the sweetest most adorable and accepting dam thing ever, I asked my dad to start projects or help me out and he always had a reason why he couldn't be bothered. Your mom is a badass! And amazing work man seriously. I have the original Knex rollercoaster but I never opened the box. Its special to me, but now I wanna order one I can actually build!

So nice to see someone building with K'nex. I'd spend hours as a kid clicking K'nex together trying to build something.I never imagined something this wild! Good job!
Amazing! Although I was expecting an explanation on the tragic break. What and how it happened, how you tore down everything, etc. But respect on the crazy build!

That's pretty cool for this 7 week project! Have you considered adding a brake system at the end like you have done a few videos earlier? I think it may be a fun challenge to add to this coaster. That and I honestly want to see more eddy current brakes be implemented in other coasters in the future. Keep it up!
@TheKnexMaker
Жыл бұрын
im very slowly working on a new eddy current system for my coasters, its going to be a few month unfortunatly. Ive not got a lot of free time to do constant 3d print revisions inbetween full time work, building new large projects. editing, posting tiktoks , spending time with loved ones ext... and a complicated project like eddy currents and designing a new train to fit them takes a lot of time. I will do a full dedicated video for it once there done though
Crazy 😜
