There's masking tape indicating the path of the turn....
I will be disgusted if you guys cant figure this one out.

Drop needs to be steeper, but otherwise nice job.

Really, it's I305. The crest isn't big enough, though.

Either way, it still looks un-even.^Not really. Looks at this:

More in-depth analysis: Well, the crest is fine and the drop needs to be steeper like everyone has said. As far as your support structure, you really shouldn't be using green rods for length and height when you're using a yellow rod for width. Imagine a 3D graph, with length being the x-axis, width being the z-axis, and height being the y-axis. As seen here:
With your current set up, you can make diagonals in the XZ plane, but not in the XY or YZ planes. This leaves your structure very weak anywhere along the Y axis. Your supports will be strongest with diagonals in all 3 planes, and the best coasters have that.
My opinion on the best way of fixing this is to scrap what you have and start over.

I think you can keep most of the track work, and simply rebuild the support structure to make it stronger (which it definitely needs better supports), instead of scrapping everything.
