What i love about this is how we can see the forces acting on the structure while the train is crossing the top section and the twist. It makes you really appreciate the work of the structural engineers

[@thomaspower9351]

That looks amazing! Can't imagine the amount of effort that went into it

[@AltonDylan]

It's better than I thought it would be it looks really good

[@SAVEKINGDAKA]

That looks so good! Rip kingda ka 👑

[@Harv_0]

RIP Kingda Ka but at least we have this amazing recreation!

[@nthdesign]

Great Adventure is my home park, and I’ve had the privilege of riding Kingda Ka many times. It will be missed, and you have paid it a tremendous honor! I saw its blinking safety light hovering in the distance off I-195 just six days ago.

[@TheCoasterBloke]

Absolutely incredible build😍

[@wolfeman1727]

Incredible work, thank you for sharing your passion!

[@TheKnexMaker]

Thank you very much!

[@frostydastonedman9744]

The final build was way taller than I expected, bravo

[@TimmahRap]

I remember building the 2m(ish) tall blaster coaster kit years ago - this is like the extreme version of that! Love it!

[@AndyKennedy]

Wow, VERY impressed at the height you managed to get it to let alone got it working! Nice work!

[@TheKnexMaker]

Thanks!

[@Thecoaster27]

LONG LIVE KINGDA KA OUR SAVIOUR

[@TheCoasterBloke]

This is what ive been waiting for!!! Wooooo 🎉🎉

[@seriomarkj]

Sick build man!

[@TheKnexMaker]

@@seriomarkj thank you 😊

[@jonathanberendsen4292]

Awesome! Crazy to think this coaster is so big that scaffolding is needed, and that last turn has some nice laterals!

[@Ryrycrazycoasters]

Looks incredible 🔛🔝🔥🔥🔥

[@PotulnySłoń51]

Your neighbors are just wondering what you've come up with today

[@TheKnexMaker]

They love it

[@gabe_and_grace]

Nahjhhhh

[@thecoasterauthority]

it’s giving phineas and ferb 😂😂

[@ajtopia]

So glad there was a pov in this vid!

[@TheKnexEnthusiast]

Wish I would've gotten a chance to ride it. Epic way to show your respect. Long live the king of coasters!

[@TheKnexMaker]

I wish I could have riden it 😕

[@Benimations-t6i]

This is amazing this is probably my favourite build you’ve made you really out done yourself I can only wonder what your neighbours see when it was fully towered up

[@TheKnexMaker]

@@Benimations-t6i few of them came out to see it 😂 they were shocked

[@coastermadab]

Very professional Ryan.

[@Pabloiznotmyname]

Wow, it even derailed at the end, insane Six Flags Great Adventure realism 😂. Amazing work m8, seriously. I played with knex as a kid and never thought something like this would be possible. Sorry to hear you didn't get to ride it. I was super lucky to get on it the last weekend it was operating.. A fantastic experience for sure. The launch was the best part in my opinion so you could still experience that intamin hydraulic launch someday on a different ride :')

[@8Carl8]

Wow! This is incredible, amazing work, you must put so much time in!

[@TheKnexMaker]

Thank you! About 6 weeks

[@CoasterObsessed]

You’ve gotta add breaks my guy 😂. All jokes aside this is insane!!!

[@Hdjvhrigj-gd]

@CoasterObsessed HA! beat you to the comments section 😂 AND got Ryan to pin my comment haha, BEAT THAT _ _ _ (enter your name here i know Ryan’s name but not you lol)

[@TheKnexMaker]

Taking a small break over Christmas making some breaks and Station stuff

[@yiravarga]

Quality looks fantastic.

[@alexius_1]

Impressive!!

[@joshslater2426]

You should definitely keep the model intact to some capacity (albeit you might just want to store it in small chunks). Ka is one of the saddest a ride losses in the past few years, so good idea to immortalise it as a working model.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

This is insane

[@susanbaker1523]

Hi awesome video that replica of Kingda Ka looks amazing the effort put in to build it am hoping one day to get some K'nex and make a replica of a few of the coasters here in the UK

[@Clyde__Frog]

I hope we get some decent magnetic launch designs in the future. The catapult on the new USN carriers looks insane, maybe we could see somthing like that in the future.

[@TheKnexMaker]

@Clyde__Frog there are 2 people working on real magnetic launches, best know I'm paying them to make me a working one when they are done 😂

[@BoBTehMaN1]

I would hate if the bots came and invaded this guys channel saying “Who loves KNex Maker?” Like NOOOOOOO

[@RossTurner94]

Ace! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Thijs5843Time]

Insane build, you have outdone yourself once again! (Whats the next project going to be? 👀)

I wish I could of gone to America to ride it 😢

[@gunsmoke132]

You come to America and ride me 👁️🫦👁️

[@knexnhershey]

Mine whenever weather complies with me will only be 11ft tall. This dwarfs mine lol. Now I’m working on zumanjaro and the station

[@ThatEverydayEnthusiast]

Why is your backyard so small and PAVED???!!! The shape must look good for the neighbors

[@TheKnexMaker]

Not "mine" it's council flats washing line area 😂

[@ThatEverydayEnthusiast]

@ What?

[@Dersmedia22]

Need you to make an air powered launch to make it official now!

[@M477y25]

I’m 31 years old and this was my dream as a kid to re create Stealth out of the package set coaster I had (Ripping Rocket) and then the other bits of knex kits I had around. Unfortunately I just didn’t have enough to complete it. These coasters are impressive and shows your commitment to them! Especially your Hyperia build. Do you think it’s possible to make a launch coaster without the band method you have used? Maybe magnets or the battery powered boosters? Last suggestion- what about making a new coaster, your own design? But make it realistic- proper station, brake system, lift system? One that can continuously run with out human in put other than stop and go. Anyways, videos are fantastic Keep building because you are living my childhood dreams! Have a good Christmas, hope he brings you more knex!

[@TheKnexMaker]

Tha ks for the comment! I've made a string and band lau ch that's similar to hydrolic before but they lack the power that's needed for a 27ft build

[@kathrynperkins1020]

Oh no, RIP to the go pro 😢

[@zanedurant3429]

I’d like to see you attempt the iron gwazi from Busch Gardens

[@F1SimRacingHarro]

Is the train on the patreon yet

[@TheKnexMaker]

@RollercoasterHarro it should be! They are listed on the shop part of patreon

[@F1SimRacingHarro]

@@TheKnexMaker ok I’ll look

[@coasterobssesedchloe]

how does one manage t- yk what im not gonna question it.

[@gunsmoke132]

Looks great but the launch needs to be slower lol

[@TheKnexMaker]

It's hard to get it the right speed I got a lot of rolls backs

[@craignewton2294]

Wow what way to end. That is huge Kingda ka love the video 🥰 keep up great work 😃👍🏻

[@TheKnexMaker]

Thank you 🤗

[@TransistorBased]

People still use knex? I remember briefly playing with that as a kid and it always felt like a bootleg of a bootleg. Though I guess the only things made out of it that ever looked decent were the roller coasters

[@TheKnexMaker]

@@TransistorBased they stopped and went bankrupt in 2008 with the crash, then basic fun a bigger toy corporation brought the brand, unfortunately they haven't invested in it in years, now the community just makes there own parts

[@EthanM651]

dang dude rlly cool u should do a post of a height difference

Wow!!!!!

@TheKnexMaker I love your printed ball joints I would love to do a full 3d printed train but My joints don't print smooth in the slightest

Seriously? You are gutted yet you couldn't take a 7 hour flight in nearly TWENTY YEARS to go ride it? I'm in Australia, as far as possible from it and have been to Great Adventure twice and first rode it in 2010. No excuse!
