This is the biggest K'nex coaster I have ever built! It starts in my room, goes down to our basement and back up using five chain lifts. I even had to order an extra 500 chain links to finish it and had to screw/drill/nail parts into the wall. Thanks so much to my patient parents for letting me build this amazing project!

This coaster took me two to three months to build while doing homeschooling and other activities in life. I would've gotten it done faster even if I didn't have to wait for the extra chain links to arrive. 2. How old am I? Back then I was 13 or 14 or so. Now I'm 16 and still build with these awesome toys!! XD 3. Where/who/what music? I WROTE THIS MUSIC! I'm a composer of music and have even had my homeschool band play some of my music!! :D 4. How many parts/sets? About 100,000 parts and a collection of at least 10 sets plus extra parts ordered from online and misc. garage sale mixes. 5. Why the POV is so fast? These little cars are INSANELY fast naturally. The camera car I used is from the set Hot Shot Video Coaster and is slower than most of the other cars... Crank up the speed of that vid X2 and that's how fast the regular cars would go!!! 6. How my parents would agree to this? I have very great parents who absolutely LOVE my creativity!! XD So they would let me do things most others probably wouldn't... Sometimes they even help me with some of the engineering challenges on my projects and build them with me!! As long as I clean up the spare parts after a day's work on the project, they're happy! :D 7. Why do you have so much time on your hands/You probably don't have a girlfriend etc....? I didn't have a girlfriend back then. Now I do and she loves my projects and helping me out. :) Sometime I might post a vid with her in it helping me.... I don't know when since I'm busy with her and schoolwork and writing more music now. I also am homeschooled. That's a general benefit of homeschooling is that you get school done faster and have more free time! XD It's awesome. Update: My girlfriend broke up with me, however it was not because of these projects or lack of spending time with her. In fact, we're still best friends and she probably wishes her mom would let her help me with things like this again. :( :)
