Video

Description This is the tallest, longest and fastest K'nex inverted roller coaster ever to be built. It uses a conventional layout, which closely resembles the track work found on B&M roller coasters. The coaster also boasts an impressive 4 inversions, including a vertical loop, immelmann, zero g roll and a wing over. Over 40,000 pieces were used to construct this coaster, which easily extends to over 120 ft. The construction period lasted for approximately 6 months, beginning in mid February. Not much work was done until April. Most of the coaster had to be built in the last month leading up to just a few days ago.Templar initially used 2 trains for operation, but timing problems resulted in 2 trains being on the lift at once, which proved to be too much weight for the chain to handle. The train comes to a smooth stop with side friction brakes and the aid of one of the tire drives, which are responsible for bringing the train back around to the lift again.Templar was mostly inspired by Talon at Dorney Park and Alpengeist at Busch Gardens Europe. A lot of hard work has gone into it, so I really hope you enjoy the video!
