Looks pretty great, although the construction could be closer to the track...

Looks fancy, but refrain from using long K'nex rods to support the track.

I agree with the others, maybe add a Blue(Height) BY Yellow(Side) Box for the pullout.
If you don't get what i said construct a box like this

l_l_l_l_l_l

Then add it into the built structure
l_l_l_l_l_l - newly constructed box
l_l_l_l_l_l_l_l - built structure before.

The drop looks fine and I can't to see the next element.

Ya looks good but as the others said dont have your track being supported on sticks. It allows the track to move more and therefore hurts your speed. otherwise it looks great

yeah, raise the bottom supports by a blue and use shorter rods, it will shake less :)
looks good otherwise :)

That looks good, the crest is small but that's actually really nice. It looks like your tower isn't completely straight which you can see very good at the first and second picture.

Thanks, I did it and I will try not to do that anymore...

Thanks, I will now

I will do, thanks for the picture (thing), it helped me to understand a little better.

Hopefully I contain speed now. Thanks! :)

It dosen't shake but I think it sort of strained the track little.

Yeah, I realised that but I though it was just me. Thanks for pointing it out and I have fixed it.

Thanks for all the comments guys! I continued and did a loop now.

I like the look of that circular loop, but I see a strange spot right where you used a white flexie.

I like how you're going for a circular loop, but your shaping is a bit off:

Speed: No Limits (Oakwood Theme Park)

Also i think it'd look better if you made your pullout longer to get the loop farther away from the drop.

i think you could keep the circular loop but i think the pullin has to be bigger.

Looks good but your loop is too circular even for a eurofighter. Try looking at Sopngebob: rock bottom plunge's loop!

Maybe make the pull-out and the pull-in 1 OR 1 1/2 yellows apart from the center.

Anyways everything looks good.

Good Luck

Yeah, I could tell when you do double O. ;)

I though it was a little too circular myself but I thought it was alright.

I fixed it (sort of :P).

Thanks for picture referance, I tried basing it off that.

I have now.

I look at it and I didn't get exactly it but hopefully, it is close enough. ;)

Yeah, I realised that but I didn't really know that much. Thanks for pointing it out! :)

Hopefully you guys like it!

Hmm, could you try to layer your flexies (better)? That will help a lot! :P

Well first you need to make both sides of the loop symetrical. Also, I know you were going for a circular loop, but the way to do it is have the top perfectly circular than make the pullout/pullin more parabolic.

I have tried, really but I don't know why I couldn't do it. I don't know why but it was just one of those things I find hard, so I keep the old one.

Sorry it has been a while.
