California Screamin’ - K’nex Roller Coaster

This is my build of California Screamin at Disney’s California Adventure. Some of the elements have been modified for space or momentum shortages, so it’s not exact.
-I used WD-40 to lubricate the wheels.
-The trains and track come from multiple Screamin’ Serpent sets
-Construction took around 8 weeks.
-Filming took... how long?? 4 Weeks?! Dang i usually shoot these in two days, I’ve just been busy and really specific with this one.
-The lift is powered by a Black&Decker screwdriver, and the station and launch system are controlled by a lego EV3 program.
-I record my videos using a standard IC-360 Camera Droid supplied by the galactic empire.
-Blacklight Flashlight in the dark makes the glow in the dark bits vivid
-POV recorded with an SQ11 Mini DV camera and a micro SD card. It didn’t come out exactly how I wanted so I didn’t include it in the video, but here’s what it looked like if you were curious!
• California Screamin - POV
-I will answer any relevant questions in the comments!
Thank you for reading the description. If you read this, comment $1 and I’ll give you chocolate!
I edit with iMovie and Kapwing. Send help.

Hi everyone, thanks for watching the video! If you were curious about the POV, here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2jGq42lnqlgiJo I didn’t include it directly in the video since the camera quality seemed out of place in comparison to the rest of the video, but here it is anyway!

Can we all take a minute to just appreciate THAT LIGHTING TRANSITION!? Absolutely incredible, fantastic job!!👏👏👏👏

[@Random_vids2013]

Don’t you mean absolutely screaming

[@IsaacS994-v5b]

I do

[@calmprisoner8658]

This has got to be your best recreation yet. The layout looks so similar, and the trains keep their speed very well. Great job 👍

[@arabellan9028]

I see what you did with the video editing there; very nice! Overall a really cool coaster, I still don’t understand how the heck you build them!!

[@5MadMovieMakers]

Awesome track!

[@nickmosca1718]

Outstanding execution and video!! Between the construction and visuals, this is truly exceptional. WOW!

[@CubeforFun]

Finally! I had been waiting for this for so long! And after seeing the final video, I'm glad that you took the time to make it look so great!

[@pallasproserpina4118]

Ryan this is so cool

[@cobra3437]

Just. WOW!

[@enterpriset]

I liked. I commented. I subscribed. I literally can't believe it..

[@CoasterCreationTV]

Amazing coaster! I can't even understand how you did this🤯🤯🤯 Also, do you have any tips on starting a K'nex roller coaster channel? I just started one.

[@DryEyeBuilds]

Thank you so much! I checked out your I305 recreation, it’s superb!! For tips in starting a new channel, my biggest one would be build at your own pace; it will be most fun if you don’t feel committed to an upload schedule, and fell free to take breaks. This coaster took me a long time to put on youtube just because I had other stuff going on, but I built and filmed it whenever i felt like it! Another big tip is build something you think would be the most fun to build, rather than what’s most “popular or relevant”. I built california screamin because the coaster is super special to me, and I had a lot of fun with it! So I guess the big tip is remembering that you’re doing your channel for YOU more than anybody else. Do whatever makes you happiest! Good luck with your channel!!

[@CoasterCreationTV]

@@DryEyeBuilds Thank you for the great tips! I'm glad you liked I-305!

bring bag california scremin why disney why..... like just me remembering when I was at the old pier makes me smile.

[@modelrollercoasters]

Sharing on our Facebook Page; epic build, probably the best yet recreation. Well done video as well.

[@DryEyeBuilds]

I’m honored! Thank you so much!!

[@seasonalstudios]

that is so cool!

[@CoriLane3060]

This is so cool, I never rode California screaming but I did ride incrdicoaster.

[@tjmartinez1505]

So cool

[@taron5052]

What happens to your old coasters? Do you take them apart?

[@DryEyeBuilds]

Yup! After sometime between a few days and a few weeks of having them up, i disassemble them, sort the pieces, and then move on to my next project!

[@stormingcoasters]

Looks cooler than the real thing

[@David.Borscht]

Thas littt 🔥

[@XanderRodriguez18]

I want to start getting into knex coasters but don’t know what to buy

[@DryEyeBuilds]

Do you know whether you want to get into the Screamin Serpent track, or the new micro track? The new micro track is easier to find and better for new builders, this SS track is a little more hard to find and complex to build with, but allows for larger scale, more realistic coasters.

[@XanderRodriguez18]

@@DryEyeBuilds Thabk you

[@IsaacS994-v5b]

How can you make a track/HOW CAN YOU MAKE THE CART

[@DryEyeBuilds]

It’s all from K’nex Screamin Serpent sets! They’re an old retired set that can still be found on like ebay, definitely look into them

[@LeoniMacias]

You did little bit like the incredicoaster

[@DryEyeBuilds]

yeah they’re like the same layout

[@irmamartinez5077]

[@connormartin12]

I absolutely LOVE your coaster work. It’s phenomenal. You have to be the best builder that is still putting out new coasters

[@awalrus4231]

I watched the part where all five cars sink up with the music in the dark like 10 times. Also 1$

[@DryEyeBuilds]

[@justclowning2224]

The video quality and effects on top of the amazing coaster is just PERFECTION.

[@vent_890]

This is insane I didn't realize how big this was

[@CoasterWriter]

Wow, you really finished this one up well. Love the launch and the tunnels!

[@the_skit_gamer9233]

Yes! I love it! I am speechless.

[@the_skit_gamer9233]

Amazing Tribute and recreation of this Classic Coaster!

[@Carls23-z6t]

Lego

[@polymertech]

That is a genius way to use Lego motors (If I am correct), but nice job on the overall build

[@JosephMBoyer]

cool

[@skunkman9815]

Wow that must’ve took years or months to build

[@DryEyeBuilds]

@@skunkman9815 2 months to build, another month to film!

[@maximilianrotondi941]

Holy! How long did you build it for?

[@DryEyeBuilds]

it took about 2 months to build, and another month to film!

[@Grape694]

Cool

[@gapyearuniversity]

Cool

[@zyplaysgamesreal]

have you ever made a launch coaster?

[@DryEyeBuilds]

Yes! This is my second cable-launch coaster, fist being Velocicoaster. Before that though, I have used the Rippin Rocket launchers to build simpler launched coasters.

[@VieleDominoes]

Crazy but very cool

[@zyplaysgamesreal]

Where do you get you track pieces and stuff from?

[@DryEyeBuilds]

I got it all from various sellers on ebay! Truthfully, I think I bought my entire collection for around $600 overall.

[@zyplaysgamesreal]

@@DryEyeBuilds oh wow ok. I have never built a custom coaster so I will stick with the cheaper stuff do now
