First some overviews
Inside view of turn
Outside
Overbank
Another view
Outside view
Transition into the next element
This is what it will look like
Epic picture
Obviously, ignore the track after the last support on the lift, it won't sag once I make the next support.

Have you tested to see if the train will make it through all of that coming from the station?

Maybe...It looking great! The lead turns are going to lead from the station to the lift, right?
Thanks.Looks really nice and smooth from what I can see. There is one bump but I don't think it reall matters because it not that big of a deal. It just looks tight... Well can't wait for the next update.
Thanks.That looks very smooth, I like that not all your turns are banked 90* as the normal VV track. I'd like to see a very sturdy lift
Thanks, but you'll have to wait to see what I come up with.Nice use of the curving track. I should really do that sometime... Anyway Great job. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Thanks, and I know that it will make it through everything.I can't wait to use my curved track. It looks very good.

Sorry no update, but I should have one tommorow.

I stayed up until 4:00 this morning working on this, and I got quite a bit done.
Overview
Semi-overview
New element
Other side
New element and overbank
I know there are some small straight and sharp spots, and I'll smooth those out later.
Enjoy! (and comment!)

I finished the lift, and I like how it looks, but I'm not satisfied with the crest.
Some overviews
Crest
I think the crest needs to get steeper before it goes horizontal again. And should the drop turn to the left or the right. If it goes to the left, it will go out into the walkway. If it goes to the right, I need to slide it over to the left about a foot and a couple feet towards the kitchen table.
Please comment and give me your opinions on where the drop should go.

Yeah, it's going to start banking. And it's only 3 feet tall.Bank it and make it turn down to one of the sides. Tallest vv?
I'm working on the crest and pre-drop. I think I've almost fixed it.It looks good, and your probably right about the crest. The pre-drop needs to be larger and steeper. I like the supports thought, nice job.
If I do that, I can't really make diagonals, which would make it not as strong.It looks pretty good, but if the lift's supports would slowly be banked outwards rather than straight down. That'd give a more realistic result.
I decided to make the drop to the right, and I'm working on the beginning of the drop.

Your tubes on the lift look very good. They look a lot stronger than mine. I really like those cross-braces too.
After reading Blackkitty's post^ I have to agree. Those colors are quite appealing.
