@chriscook9174 Thanks!

[TheCreationer]

I really want to make a K'nex Demon Drop, but I don't think I have enough space or pieces. Plus I don't know how to make the thing that flips the car up right at the end. Yours is awesome!

[NtwProductionsNow]

@TheCreationer Thanks. It's a slider-crank mechanism.

[TheSkullDetective134]

im putting this on my top favourites 1000000000000 out of 10 lol

[TheSkullDetective134]

WOAH THIS IS AMAZING HOW DO YOU BUILD THIS

[NtwProductionsNow]

@TheSkullDetective134 Imagination.

[MegaCoasterManiac]

F***ing Amazing!!!

[NtwProductionsNow]

@MegaCoasterManiac Thanks dude!

[MrDanTheMan697]

That is awesome!! How long did it take you to make? =)

[NtwProductionsNow]

@MrDanTheMan697 We built it over a six week period but I had the idea in my head for a few years.

[MrDanTheMan697]

@NtwProductionsNow

Thank you =)

[Magicmountainguy]

WOW!!! This is TRULY AMAZING!!! GREAT JOB! That's very creative and fun to watch. I remember the Demon Drop very well. It was my very FIRST Intamin FreeFall ride, ever! I think my first time on it was 1993 or 1994.

[NtwProductionsNow]

@Magicmountainguy Thanks, I appreciate it!

[SMMA131]

[MIdad23]

It's too bad Demon Drop isn't at Cedar Point anymore

[CoasterDude16]

Hey r u gonna make an instruction video...Im trying so hard to create my own but.....IT SUCKS ASS, so if your not...Please consider it, I need HELP!!!! By the way...congrats on winning the cedar point build off thing....U diserved it! :D

[NtwProductionsNow]

@CoasterDude16 Yeah, I was thinking about making a close-up video explaining how each part of the ride works. It won't be ready for at least two weeks though. There are close-up pictures on different sites, like Coaster101 and Theme Park Review forum.

[thripsys61]

aw man, I loved riding the Demon Drop! Having a penny on your knee as the ride was dropping was surreal. Not to mention all the all that loose change rattling around the cars. It was a different experience apart from the Power Tower :D

and it sucks its gone. The area the demon drop was is a fenced in grass field now :C

[NtwProductionsNow]

@thripsys61 I believe they are moving the Ocean Motion swinging ship ride to the Demon Drop site.

[rct3weekly1]

how did you get it to come forward at the top? and then that thing at the top turn it to change direction in which the car is facing? PLEASE RESPOND! 5/5 by the way

[NtwProductionsNow]

@rct3weekly1 There's a chain looped around 3 sets of gears driven by a motor which pulls it forward at the top.

[rct3weekly1]

@NtwProductionsNow thanks i think i get it if i make one after my current project, i will put u in the credits if u help me with any questions during construction.

[houghtonfootball]

cant handle the awesomenessss!!!!!!!!!!!

[dzimmer63]

Very impressive! I rode the Demon Drop @ Cedar a couple years ago and wow that thing is old. I like your model, great job.



[plantman1236]

What song starts playing at 0:22? Thanks.

[cberryOh82]

@plantman1236 It is the Music that plays in the Millennium Force loading station. I don't think it is anything mainstream. I think it is a corporate music mix companies can buy. I think I have heard it in a commercial for a satellite tv service as well.

[NtwProductionsNow]

@plantman1236 Millennium Force theme song

[mkman7432]

How long did it take to design this?

[NtwProductionsNow]

@mkman7432 It was built over a three month period.

[ryancaseydotcom]

[NtwProductionsNow]

@ryancaseydotcom Thanks!

[gators146]

[splicer006]

@NtwProductionsNow

[NtwProductionsNow]

@splicer006 Cool. Not sure when we are going yet.

[Lovesick31Melody]

You must have a lot of time on your hands... This looks awesome! I really like the sound effects lined up with the video. ^.^

[NtwProductionsNow]

@Lovesick31Melody It was built over about a three month period. Glad you like the sound effects!

[CoasterBob62]

Great job! I'm very impressed with all the details. Good luck!!

[NtwProductionsNow]

@CoasterBob62 Thanks!

[carlyanneg]

This is probably the most awesome thing ever............just sayin.

[hellorits]

make wind seeker

[NtwProductionsNow]

@hellorits That would be a tough one. The tower would be easy but the spinning seats would be pretty difficult.

[TheBeddard]

I just had so many nerdgasms to this I can't count them. I loved this ride then BAM! They took it out :(

[maverickpoint]

hope you win!

[NtwProductionsNow]

@maverickpoint Thanks! What ride should I make next?

[maverickpoint]

@NtwProductionsNow maybe a coaster that shoots a ride off like top thrill dragster or kingda ka. that would be seriously amazing. i dont know how you'd pull it off especially what you'd use for the shoot off part. the only thing i can think of is a seriously stretchy yet durable rubber band O.O

but if its like 25 feet of momentum with a rise thats 10-12 feet (to the ceiling) and a swirly drop then a nice hill with brakes as it comes down and turns back into the station....man you'd be a hero.

[NtwProductionsNow]

@maverickpoint I think you can find a few models like that if you search youtube.

[jeffonepiphany]

Nice ride!

Great video..

[NtwProductionsNow]

@jeffonepiphany Glad you like it!

[cpcoasternut]

i am impressed! very ood job. you have my vote

[NtwProductionsNow]

@cpcoasternut Thanks!

[CoasterDude16]

Only one word can describe my emotions right now........AWESOME!!!!!!! I have to agree with woodchip216 when he states, "It has to be the single, most badass thing I've ever seen made from k'nex" Great job...and keep up your creativity + great engineering! :)

[NtwProductionsNow]

@CoasterDude16 Thanks! Appreciate it.

[woodchip216]

I don't know how you did this...but it has to be the single, most badass thing I've ever seen made from K'nex. Excellent job!

[ProjectCoaster]

Awesome!

[NtwProductionsNow]

@ProjectCoaster Thanks!

[coasterb1]

Excellent!  Found this on ThrillNetwork.

[monorailstudios]

This is amazing. Great work!!

[NtwProductionsNow]

@monorailstudios Thanks!

[SeanFlaharty]

Great job! I recognize the ride sounds from somewhere. =:^)

How long did it take from start to finish?

[NtwProductionsNow]

@SeanFlaharty Hope you don't mind the audio. The ride is just not the same without the banging noises. I started working on it at the end of January and worked on it off and on until the beginning of March.

[SeanFlaharty]

@NtwProductionsNow - I don't mind at all. I was just surprised to hear it. I agree about the banging noises though. I thought it would have taken more than a couple months to complete.

[NtwProductionsNow]

@SeanFlaharty Well, in a way you could say it's been years in the making. I attempted to create the Demon Drop a number of years ago. I figured out the elevator mechanism but I never finished the model. So when I started the current version I built on what I had learned before and made it bigger and better and actually got the whole thing to work.

[SeanFlaharty]

@NtwProductionsNow - Thanks for the info! I don't know if I could have done that or not.

[SpoonFucked]

This is absolutely amazing.

[NtwProductionsNow]

@SpoonFucked Thanks, it was a lot of work!

[SpoonFucked]

@NtwProductionsNow Well it definately paid off! this really is amazing, I don't know if you know that this got mentioned in Screamscape? You should be very proud of yourself!

[oneillperson]

:O How the heck did you come up with that? It's incredible!

[NtwProductionsNow]

@oneillperson I've wanted to make a Demon Drop recreation for a long time. I basically just broke the ride down into smaller segments and solved each problem one at a time.

[poofy917]

Cool! It actually works too!
