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!

3A dedicated music video will be out tomorrow and then a POV video will be out in a week!
You should do the Smiler Next
He should
That would be insane tho
Build a flying coaster galactica
Yesssss
that’ll look cool
How is this not going viral? this is INSANE
Great work man
Thanks! I appreciate all the kind words from everyone. And the video is doing really well compared to normal. My normal 24 hour views for a finished project is around 200-400 and this is on 560 in 3 hours 😐
"edit - the video is over 25k views! you amazing people, thank you"
bruh its been out for 3 hours, give it a minute XD
@@aeroforce2202 facts bro. this by far my best performing video, im really happy about!
I know right
XD
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
Man! How cool is that?! Awesome!
Bro you should have a play button already you are sooo underrated
I would love a 100k play button but I tihnk its gunna take a few years at least to get there lol
I Absolutely Applaud your meticulous hard word!!! 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
thank you! got plenty of future projects planned. I do have to balance full time job so dont expect more then 1 project a month lol
Congratulations, and thanks for sharing the process. Good job to Mom, too!
Gotta love the fact that your mother is so supportive! Bless her! Hello from France ;)
absolutely incredible!
Incredible, you deserve the views that’s coming in, congrats
great project man wish you talked more about how it fell
just the wind. It was already up for 2 days before it fell though and I got all the video I needed
This is just incredible. Truly a masterpiece and one for the K’nex Roller Coaster Hall of Fame! 👍
Thanks! this means a lot, I look up so highly to all the greats in the knex roller coaster hallf of fame.
This was amazing!!! 🎉👏🎢
Finally, so hyped that it's been built! Hopefully the rebuild after the collapse wasn't too painful.
oh I diddnt have to rebuild it, I had already filmed everything I needed for my 3 videos by then. (build mini doc..... music video.... and the pov video coming out this saturday)
Legend!! That part when it all collapsed tho 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣
yooo EMAN! yh bro the wind be crazy!
Wow! Awesome work. I was watching for a rollback, but did not see one. Maybe next time. 😎
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!
yh she help out a lot acctuly. she somtimes sits and take appart my projects when there done while im at work lol.
@@TheKnexMaker Omg I must see a disassembly video!! Thad be so satisfying.. or take an old video and reverse it lol
Awesome job, love the documentary style video!
Thanks Johnny! Yh loved trying a new style. I've seen what worked on bigger youtubers videos and thought I'd have a go
Legendary. Thank you for living dream I could never achieve 😂
thanks! anyone can build these with eough time and dedication. takes a lot of practive just like anything
Amazing project, thanks for sharing!
np!
Thank you all so much for the support! I really do appreaciate it. remember to leave a like and a comment. I have a discord also: Discord.gg/8hkVFPNc
Where can i join the discord (if it’s a server)
@@Thijs5843Time I've updated the pinned comment to include the discord link
This was crazy!!!! Thank you for sharing your passion with the world
Awesome video. Shame it fell, would have loved to see a rollback. :D
Ive got some roll backs cought of pov cam, coming out next week!
I built the Ferris wheel from the instruction booklet and it was pretty hard.
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!
well I was trying to show my freind that the tower can still stand without the back support, then got unlucky because the wind blew at the wrong time lol
This is dope and had me check out your channel, you should make Millennium Force next its probably one of the easier giga’s to build and it has cedar point clout.
yh Im trying to make popular croller coaster recreation so my videos do better. ive got a few good ones to do for the rest of the year
thats literally crazy
Well done man. It won’t belong till a thousand likes 👍🏻. Can’t wait for this. I thought you build a Exodus coaster
I will be doing exodus soon! dont worry. the swarm next, then exodus
Outstanding build, totally epic!!
This is insane! Keep up the great work!
As an Ohio native this makes me incredibly happy, would love to see Orion or the Beast
Great Editing also its like watching a mini Movie 😊be cool to stick a mini go pro on that 😊
That was awesome
this is absolutely nuts. Keep it up!
thank you, 100% wil, started my next project allready!
this is incredible
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!
Now in 2024 or 25 you gotta build the new dragster
ill need to order another 15 sets of knex ! lol
wow nice
Probably the best K-Nex coaster on you tube 👍
I watched your Kingdaka video when I was a kid!
totally awesome, nice work
This needs more recognition man i believe in you
thanks!, dont worry its already my best performing video ever within the first day. infact my best video got 600 views in 24 hours, this already has 2,300! o.o
@@TheKnexMaker great to hear bro keep that grinding!
Great recreation! This video deserves a lot more views.
It just came out a day ago lol
Really fantastic build! Much better than the Knex coaster I built as a kid lol
If you did a 420 foot knex recreation that would be cool I think
420 ft bro. impossible,
Amazing..... The ending... Dang!!
ikr!
I'm going to miss that ride so much
top thrill dragster its going. there just replaceing the launch to a magnetic one. and I tihnk adding a big roll back spike
now we need a full scale recreation💀
bro imagine!
@@TheKnexMaker IMAGINE BRO!
That would be insane
That's was a very fun ride
keep up the great work❤
WHY IS THIS SO UNDERRATED
Top effort. Definitely earned a subscribe. Cant wait to see whats next 😊
Wow
is all I can say
That's incredible! it is so tall i can't imagine
it was a little scary being over 4m / 14 foot up the scaffolding lol
Bravo
Baby I’m ready to gooo
Well done...
Hope this video blows up! Super impressive
in terms of the news I normally get, it allready has blown up lol.
Lego is for the imagination. Knex is for the engineers by heart! Awesome! Job! BTW: You missed the slow down hill LOL
There is no slow down hill on dragster. Your thinking of kingda ka. I already recreated kingdaka September last year
Oh fuck sakes at the end!!! Here i was about to write how amazing it looked, and your mother must be so proud, you should donate the thing!
Very impressive, congratulations!
No I couldn't ever give away my builds. They are far too expensive. It used around £2,000 worth of knex. And I take down every project to make more projects
@@TheKnexMaker very good then! Looking forward to your next project !
So awesome!
thanks!
Great work man. Insane video! Would love to see either Stealth or The Swarm next! They would look great.
Once again, fantastic work on this
The Swarm is next on my list!
@@TheKnexMaker Perhaps you should try the Smiler sometime?
@@cricketguy1206 I would love to
Cant wait till your building a 100ft kenex coaster
💀
Everyone gangster till a storm hits 💀
That is absolutely beautiful and awesome. Congratulations on this fantastic build❤😊
Impressive!!
WHAT? No roll back? That's not realistic.... 🤣
Fun video, nice work!
That was great!
Could you pls do a POV of the ride if its possible because its soo good
yes! I have a pov video coming out this sat!
WOW!!!
You should put the spring halfway there to make a rollback and make steel vintage
Man, you should next build a rideable backyard roller coaster out of Knex
i saw your tiktok video! crazy how i found you on my recommended too
nice to see! hope you enjoy future content too!
If I could make a 1 foot coaster out of knex I would be happy,,this is crazy
nice work
Wow man this is impressive ! Nice work, sending tons of good vibes from Winnipeg !!! 😎 💪
Came across your video and just have to say I'm really touched to have been an influence for this amazing build. You really improved on the 20 foot coaster formula in every way. Great stuff!!
Thank man. Your a big inspiration. A true og
Great video!
Thanks!
Wow this is crazy!
Thank You
It was so cool
this is such a great build, i love knex
Nice, such a great ride.
Awesome.
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!
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
this video is really well made my friend
thank you! I really do appreaciate it. Its the first time Ive tried this sort of video on my channel and im glad its gone down really well with everyone. I 100% will do this style again
You are crazy for doing this 😂
Just insane bro! Well done
Appreciate it!
They need a k'nex show like they do with legos. This guy would win
6 meters tall?! Jeez mate!
looks better than the real ride
Your channel us underrated I’m subscribing
Thanks!
Did you ever get to ride the dragster while she was still in operation? It seems like you're in the UK so that would be pretty awesome if you did. I live only a few hours away from Cedar Point, and dragster sure was something else. Cheers!
sadly not! I havent been able to get out to the states yet in my life. my and my gf want to go though.
When Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind? 👀
You are so talented!
Thank you 😊
Put a Insta360 Go2 cam in train 1st car and film it from a POV perspective!
I already did a pov
Now full scale
Full scale 💀
@@TheKnexMaker 💀
@@TheKnexMaker U got 1.7 million lets make it happen 😎
@@kiwikiwi2483 where have i got 1.7m lol, an old tiktok video?

1m Subs 😐. This is my first longer form video calm down 😅 give it a few months
