The coaster and voiceovers are complete! Check out the final big effort it took to bring this whole thing past the finish line.

 

There will be four final videos. Two will be POVs (one on the rebel side and the other on the empire side). One will be a typical off-ride final video. And the final one will show off the technical/mechanical components of the ride.

 

Watch out for the first of the videos this coming weekend.

Just making sure of something here. Is that Johnny like... THE Johnny that designed the ball bearing housings? This has to be the most well themed Knex coaster I've ever seen.

Haha, yes. That is THE Jonnie! My next coaster may be a joint creation with him. And thanks!

This is impressive. I can see the story being a part of an actual star wars ride.

Never thought the day would come, but it's all done! Official final video goes live at 5:00 pm EST. The second video is posted with you folks in mind - just 5 minutes of the coaster cycling at real-time speed.

 

Now up next, I've got to finish editing and publish the technology video, and then get to work on my next model. That one, while ambitious, should take much less than 2.5 years to complete!

The technical video is up! And with that, I can bring this long chapter to a close, and move on to the next big thing. Enjoy.

I agree, you keep taking it to higher and higher levels.

Any idea on what's next?
