K'nex Ice Cream Delivery Rollercoaster - "The i-scream coaster"

I created a workplace roller coaster that delivered packet ice-creams from the 1s't floor (where the freezer was) down to the ground floor (where a lunchtime fundraiser was taking place.) 

5000+ pieces, 100 hrs build time, 28m of track, top speed of 70km/h!

 

After the event, and filming, I added an extra section to the bottom part fo the track. The coaster stayed for a few months. Visitors were fascinated by it.

 

As we stared demolition, I made the bottom into a ramp for a couple of stunt videos of the train flying off the end like a ski jump.... :) 

 

 

K'nex Kafé Koaster: 4m high, 14m long, gazeebo roof-top Roller Coaster and Ferris Wheel

I was asked to create a K'nex roller coaster for a youth group's hot dog fundraising stand, and this is what I built them. It fascinated the children and adults alike... and they sold out.
Most common question: "How long did that take to create?" (About a month)
Children could ride the roller coaster for $5 - but had to be under 2cm tall to ride.

Highest point is over 4m high, 14m of track - it really made out stall amongst 30 others stand out!!

 

 

K'nex Roller Coaster Mask

 During COVID, we had a workplace Zoom staff meeting with a “Crazy Mask” competition... I won!! 🙌

"LOOPER 20-20" - a 20-loop K'nex 'launch' roller coaster.

Possibly a world record for the most consecutive loops in a K'nex 'launch' roller coaster. (the launch is at the end.....haha :)
20 loops, built in 2020 

  • 20 consecutive loops
  • 6300 pieces
  • 17m gravity run-up
  • 30m total land distance
  • 48m track distance


Upside down K'nex roller coaster model

Yes, you would die on this coaster in real life.... It has a forwards and backwards loop, both from the upside down position, and two corners to fling you out of the coaster.

I built this quickly after the Goofy's Sky School copy - while I had the scaffolding up. 

Goofy's Sky School K'nex roller coaster

 Loosely based on Disney California Adventure's Goofy's Sky School / (previously Mulholland Madness).

I built the frame first and then lift hill, then removed scaffolding as needed.


Double Decker Screamin Serpent

I started building a Double Decker Screamin Serpent  roller coaster, but had to move house before it was completed. This is as far as it got.


First Duel Screamin Serpent K'mex Coaster

Here's my first attempt at joining two K'nex Screamin Serpent roller coaster sets, back about year 2000.
 

Starting My K'nex Journey

So here's my first pic from back about year 2000 of my first ever K'nex builds.
