Clockwork - K'Nex Roller Coaster
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- My 15th K'nex roller coaster, featuring a hubless ferris wheel lift.
Music: "Where Civilization Once Lay" by Jeremiah Pena, one of my favorite composers. Check out more of his music at www.jeremiahpen...
Clockwork was partly inspired by Round About at Freestyle Music Park. However, this one uses a hubless wheel, meaning that there's no axle in the center of the wheel. This let me weave the track through the center of the wheel, creating a very twisty and compact layout.
Construction took 4 weeks total. I automated the ride with a Lego Mindstorms NXT, just like all my other rides.
I could see this being a real ride easily. The name Clockwork is perfect. Give the coaster a gold/bronze and silver color scheme with steampunk theming. You could have effects of smoke or water sprays simulating steam being released. Make it like 150 feet tall with around 2000 to 2500 feet of track with 4 or so inversions. The compact nature of the Coaster could be perfect for an inside ride. Which would make the theming of the ride even more immersive.
U do realize how complex a coaster like this would be and how often it would break down
of corse the effects would end up being ignored by the park and stop working
@@jimskywaker4345 not quite how that would go. They'd try to keep it operating but eventually scrap it since it'd cost too much to maintain
Look up Maximum RPM at the Hard Rock park, a coaster like this does in fact exist!
@@SmileBullet were can you get this knex clockwork rollercoaster with 2 rollercoaster cars with 4 seats with 8 seats all toghther
The build. The music. The camera work. Yes, this is a definite 10/10 for me!
Same!
+Silvarret Hey, it's cool to see you here! I absolutely love your content and just wanted to say keep up the good work!
Hi! :D
The music by itself was fine but it was really unfitting for this video IMO. The coaster itself was great though.
it would be a 9/10 for me...
not enough tits
This is probably the most designed K’nex roller coaster I’ve ever seen.
*So will it be a ferris wheel or roller coaster?*
Engineer: Yes
This is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen
You must be two years old or younger
@@peterh1418 no u I AGREE WITH NEONJAYS
@@peterh1418 Go find something that DOESN'T trigger your bad vibes.
Get out more bruh.
@@onemanarmyoma0155 *triggert *
I stopped k'nex years ago, I clicked on your video randomly, but that was totally worth it.
You've been really imaginative on this coaster, the editing and music are awesome.
Thanks for sharing, and making me live a 2.20 min dream :D
Excellent work, I had the original rollercoaster when I was a kid. Me and my brother were both super excited on the way to the toy shop, one of my best memories.

@Carter Bohrer (Student) every things causes cancer
Kadenstu Hanako like your grammar?
@@sharkattack6670 😝👎
Kadenstu Hanako how old are you, 9?
so why are you not designing roller coasters for parks?
because toys are very different from the real thing.
oh lol
+Chris Cayford Because I haven't been hired by a roller coaster manufacturer... yet :P
Onboard camera version please
Because park-goers would sue for the whiplash the initiator causes.
Somebody put this in a museum.
Sadly not happening. You can make this at home with different knex set MMM.
But if you have the money.
Saving this for my 11 yr old stepdaughter to watch...she loves building & designing these!! This is truly awesome!!
Petition for this to be a real Roller Coaster
Hypergod Productions Sign me up
The mechanism is most definitely not safe enough, and judging by the amount of tracks intertwining the stress put on the joints would be enormous, therefore rendering it impossible
@@ronylouis0 chicken! Worried about some whiplash?
I wish I was as smart as this guy to make stuff like this. K'nex roller coasters were my life as a kid, but I'd never be able to come up with designs this insane. Major props.
U should find a way to get a camera on there for pov
I coulda sworn they made a car with a camera in it...
Yes they did, but it's one of their current "micro" (or whatever they're called) trains.
Games James now this..this I like
Apparently there is a type of camera that can go in a screw
I think a camera would displace the weight weird or something
This is the most fun looking kenex coaster ever!
Quite literally everything about this build is perfect.
Name? Check.
Design? Check.
Shaping? Check.
Aesthetics? Check.
Cinematography? Check.
Pacing? Check.
Even the car going through each of the inversions at around the same speed is so satisfying
We can head home; this is and will be the best k'nex coaster.
Nice!
This Coaster in real would be fun to ride! :D
Hi
i know right
Alter was macht Techtastisch hier.
I agree
I believe it was inspired by the coaster originally called Maximum RPM at Hardrock Park (rcdb.com/3853.htm), or at least the unique carousel lift system.
Wow wow wow!
Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow.
Wow

Hi man I love your channel!
Another lego fan who is also a coaster enthusiast ! ;p
5MadMovieMakers OMG OMG OMG!
Bravo! Brilliant design. Perfect execution. It would be amazing to ride this in real life. A coaster like this would be EPIC! Nice job.
This is the ride that started my coaster fascination. Thank you.
oh my gosh so creative and detailed
THIS A BEAUTIFUL PEACE OF ART AND IT IS AMAZING
When I was in my early teens, I bought 6 sets of this coaster, at $100 each, it got expensive. My cousin bought 2. We put our 8 combined sets together to make a 10x6x8 coaster with 9 inversions in my backyard. In the end, it was just a standard coaster though, nothing with the intricacies like this one has. I'm extremely impressed with the ideas you have created with this one.
Is there a video? What happened to all the sets?
@@dirkclimenhaga7105 This was back in the early 2000s right when the Screamin Serpent set first came out. Unfortunately, through the years, they kind of all just vanished. And without an easy way to record video back then, we never had video.
It took me and my son 3 days to put a little rollercoaster together. And it had faults on it. So I tweaked it and it worked.
This is impressive. Bloody hell!
So smooth running... so you can say that this ride is running like clockwork...
MK3424 Toothless😍
Very creative and very well done, great job, I love it!
Didn't know Roller Coasters hardcore geeks existed until recently on UA-cam but this is AWESOME! I want to build one and I'm binging Rollercoasters rides videos for days. There are really passionate people out there building up creative rides!
Beautiful work
This would be such a cool coaster in real life!
And then some!
Engineer: How many inversions do you want?
Ryan: Yes.
Bro not even. Look up the smiler at alton towers. *that's* inversion : the ride.
@@ghoulannabanana About all the Eurofighters and infinity coasters have shit tons of inversions
Wow... What a awesome works man..! AWESOME!! pretty Cool!!!
best vid on youtube ever I really want you to come back
cool coaster
Pikapetey Animations Woah, didn't think I'd see you here of all places.
War cRhymes I see him everywhere. I'm honestly not surprised.
I see you are a man of culture as well

Hey, I had the purple one as a kid. Still one of my favorite toys ive ever had. Had the big Ferris wheel too.
True meaning of EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER 🥺💙
Awesome work. I made k'nex roller coaster videos when I was a kid. 9 years ago! KnexCoasterDude was the name, but nothing I made (or anyone on UA-cam making K'nex coasters at the time) was as cool as this! Great work. Awesome to see people still making coasters.
I’m impressed that you included a station as well as block brakes
This is an awesome idea for a real coaster. A Ferris wheel roller coaster hybrid....IM IN
There used to be one
this is the best knex build i have ever seen
this creation has inspired me in soo many ways. the music is probably my favorite as of rn. and the inovation that went into designing this coaster with the hubless ferris wheel lift is insane. also need to mention how smooth the track is and the actual ride controll system. huge props man, and keep on building coasters cause this is amazing
Welcome back to Today On Your Recommended, today: somebody creates mad rollercoaster
Ryan my dude, this is good but, you should design ACTUAL roller coasters. There’s a high chance you’d be one of the best designers.
Peaceful Serenity there’s no chance. Insane physics go with designing these. Building a coaster and designing a coaster are two entirely different things. He has some cool concepts, but if he were to make a coaster like this, it would most likely be considered unsafe. Plus, coaster designers work as a group. Just one person can’t design the whole thing. If this guy had the education, he would probably be a great designer, but reality just can’t allow it.
@@Oridemic uh you have no idea what kind of education this person has. sure, the qualifications to design a human-certified roller coaster are pretty rare so the probability of a given youtuber having them as low, but you can't state that shit as a certainty
Oridemic dude you’ve never met him
@@spambot7110 you can't ether
An artists dream is an architect's worst nightmare. This would probably be hell to build for people.
This blows my mind! This is amazing! Both as someone who grew up building k'nex rollercoaster, and an avid rollercoaster designer on planet coaster, and a thrill seeker and rollercoaster junky...WOW! Iwas first and foremost impressed by the sheer talent it took to creat such a beautiful thing out of k'nex. A true masterpiece! But now I also want this ride to exist in real life so I can ride it! Hahaha! Keep it up!
Way to go! An absolute coaster genius! Very good job
My good sir, you win. I don't know what the prize is but you win. Everyone else can just go home.
100,000,000 dollar
Knex roller coasters are so satisfying for me.
What a insane creative roller coaster! And the title Clockwork is a good one to put in steampunk ages.😁
This is the most overly dramatic music I’ve ever heard for a k’nex roller coaster video. I’m in tears. 😭
I want to sleep UA-cam don't give such interesting stuff to watch
ah finally I can go to sleep
You're an engineering marvel. Fabulous work my friend. Please become a world famous coaster designer, you have the potential to revolutionise the world of rollercoasters and theme parks!
Epic. My parents got me Knex after I got bored with erector and I had a blast all the time. The possibilities were limitless. This is an amazing build and makes me want to ask my parents if they kept my set so I can give it to my son when he's old enough
THAT IS SICK
Noah Steinke it would make me yes
Could I have one if I asked reeaaalllyy nice?
+Malcolm Sparks maybe someday
+Malcolm Sparks maybe someday
Malcolm Sparks me too?
What about instructions? I have lots of k'nex pieces.
Malcolm Sparks
this is easily the best K’Nex coaster I’ve ever seen
That was awesome, Ryan! Beautiful to look at, fun to watch. Lots of work, and I am sure lots of $$$ too. Thank you!
Business: so how much experience have you had making roller coasters?
Ryan:
Nice layout so Smooth
This looks like the next generation of roller coasters here!
cool rollercoaster and I love the dramatic music in this video
HOLY SH!T THAT THING IS AWESOME!!! O_O
It would be interesting to mount a Gforce meter in one of the cars, to see the forces a person would feel.
The way the car slides on the track is so satisfying.
The best K Nex coaster youll ever see
I like how you filmed it. Id say you nailed it and did a pre good job :D A+
Good job and I mean it
The inversions are so satisfying
This coaster is freaken Awsome.I love it.
makes me wish the hard Rock Park was still around
David James Michel ikr
Damn, when KNex used to be huge!
For some odd reason, this is in my recommended 5 years after the fact.
But I must say, that’s one epic roller coaster.
Just an amazing build, super cool, thank you for sharing!
wait a minute...
"Just looking at Clockwork makes me feel sick!"
I wonder if you could attach a tiny camera to the roller coaster
Man these kenex coasters look good as hell
Dang thanks bro
The sound its making while going down the coaster is very satisfying.
Very cool. I feel like adding some slow-mo would really take it up a notch. And if there was some way to get POV with slow-mo...man that would be cool!
If I was tiny I will ride that toy roller coaster.😉
About 25 years ago we bought Kenix for our children. After numerous sets and years of fun our children are all successful adults with no arrest records. Spend some time with your kids and give them a toy that challenges them and not a tablet so they don’t bother you. I miss them getting stuck building something and helping them with the next step.
wow, just epic coaster.
Do you ever think that this could be a real coaster but with a few modifications ?
Maybe. The big issue is of course the wheel. on this version, the cart does not lock into the track, which would be needed. also a system to attach the track at the bottom and top or risk the carts falling off. These don't seem like they would be issues for long but this has no guarenteed payoff so I think few would take that risk. Overall though, this seems like one of the most likely things to become real though, so if someone wanted it enough I bet it could happen.
@@ijpg-fd7qn there already is something similar to your lift at Busch Gardens ua-cam.com/video/T4bUqxAlZLE/v-deo.html
I think the larger issue is most of your inverting elements are very flat for the actual inverted part. Most roller coasters try to have a curve such that the centrifugal force plants keeps you in your seat.
elevator lift means a lot lower throughput and therefore longer lines and less profit, they aren't made often.
The tracks could be lined up with electro magnets
@@Dysan72 there is another lift simmilar at lagoon
I would love to see what you’re capable of in planet coaster
This deserves to be an actual roller coaster! If it were built, it would probably knock Cannibal out of it's place as the biggest Mega Coaster in the US
That corkscrew angle was pretty sweet when it turns over!
I wish this were in slow motion, that way the ride wouldn't look as short.
Click the gear on the bottom right of the video, select "speed" and set it to whatever you want :P
Gim Uni I did, but that butchers the framerate.
GrijzePilion True
Inspired by Maximum RPM/Round About at Freestyle Music Park?
Would assume so and just Premier in general.
Very Technical! I like the Ferris Wheel Lift too! Great job!
Excellent craftsmanship. Just pure Excellence.
Have you ever thought of working at Intamin, Vekoma or B&M? I would really like it, if you did it!
BasvHassel That's been my dream for the last 10 years :) I'm hoping to get an internship at one of those places within the next few years!
Ryan O'Neill I wish you the best!
If you actually were to work at one of those company's I would TOTALLY ride this RollerCoaster! Id be terrified, but I'd still ride it lol
@@RyanONeill13 my 11 year old is already researching these companies and the engineering degree needed to work there and build coasters. And he wants to start learning German. The kid is driven, keep up your dream too!
@@katmacrone That's awesome! I think I was 11 or 12 when I started really wanting to design roller coasters when I grew up. I actually started posting videos on this channel when I was 13! Keep encouraging him to pursue it, because it's a very fun career :) And let me know if he has any questions about it as a job!
2015: nah
2016: no thanks
2017: nope
2018: getting closer...
2019: RECOMEND, RECOMEND, RECOMED
wow I've never seen this funny comment before thanks for sharing
2020 : oh shit
who cared?
2020 Recommendation for me....
That's awesome. Love the Ferris wheel type lift mechanism.
what a masterly construction......chapeau !!!
Who ever disliked this vid is obviously gelious

Nicholas Woods not jealous of your spelling though
Nicholas Woods that spelling made me have aids
noooo Sam you stole my joke
who else would ride this?
me
I would ride you.
Next, please.
BunnyLove123 definitely
Poop Stinky hold up
Wow! So beautiful. This video made me feel all the feels.
I made a ferris wheel and roller coaster in 3rd grade with K'Nex. It was super fun and it was worth the work
Love it Ryan! Would you have any similar items that could be made available to our museum for display, perhaps on a short-term loan basis? We specialise in mechanical, moving exhibits and something like this would be a great fit for our museum. I would love to hear from you. Best wishes, Iain Simmons. The MAD Museum (UK).
+The MAD Museum I'd be thrilled to have that opportunity! Is there an email address or phone number I can contact you at?
+Ryan O'Neill Sure Ryan, my email is iain.simmons@themadmuseum.co.uk . Thanks for the reply.
YO THIS IS INSANE YO COULD YOU SEND THIS TO ME IN MAIL?
1. I love the mechanical logo. It's something you would see in a real-life theme park.
2. I also love the brake run at the end of the track. The attention to detail here is amazing.
Thank you! Attention to mechanical details like that is what I enjoy most about this hobby. It took me a really long time to get those retracting brakes to work, so I'm glad someone noticed them!
This is amazing. I could easily see this at some kid of Triple A theme park! Great job and keep it up!
乗り物に小型のカメラを設置して、スロー映像とかあったらよりよかったのに。
