HINT 1: You just speak a lot of mumbo jumbo
HINT 2: Looks like 120 degrees hot outside...

Mumbo Jumbo at Flamingo Land, UK. I don't really get hint 2 though.
Can't be. He said custom.
I'm guessing he's going to try for a really unique drop or some other wacky inversion.

What you've got looks good so far!
As for the cryptic clues, 120 degrees presumably refers to the drop angle, and since Crazy Bird has a drop angle of 120 degrees, then it can't quite be a custom build in terms of just having a slightly greater drop angle than the one before it
So, an El Loco, with a drop of 120 degrees, and probably a slightly custom layout.
Talking of El Locos....Stig....how's yours coming along?
PS. Out of coincidence, I just rode Mumbo Jumbo a few weeks ago! Looks nice, but a shame it's got such a shocking capacity, a very trimmed drop, and is generally pretty unpleasant. Oh, well, I won't have to ride yours!
Good luck!
EDIT: Lol, just posted this and I see FriedEggs beat me too it! Have you got a 180 degree turn piece like this?:
K'NEX User Group - Micro K'NEX Coaster track semi circle Green
If you don't, I'd certainly recommend buying one! If you do have one, I don't think the S-bend will look too gigantic, especially with the straight section before the drop. If you angle the s-bend downwards, the proportions will all look a lot better.
Again, good luck!

You can see the larger differences between the clone layout and my layout now

The drop
*The strained parts were fixed with a new pattern, making the drop about 3-4 degrees steeper as a result

I will add more supports on the drop and such in the next update
Until then...IM EEWT!
EDIT:
How steep do you think the drop is? I lost my protractor...
