Looks great!
Q: How much of an affect do those lateral supports have? Do they really increasing the strength of the structure or just look cool?

Both. They look pretty cool, in my opinion at least, and help the stability a lot. Without them the lift sways side to side easily but with them, it is solid.
Anymore comments? Iim working all night until about 2 in the morning and depending on how tired I am I might finish the pullout.

You must be a slow builder. Working for 10 hours and only getting the pullout done.

He's working, like at a job.
I like the lateral supports. They look well placed and seem as though they will help you out quite a bit.

Yea I was at my job, everyone knows I'm a fast builder. Most of my coasters take a week.You must be a slow builder. Working for 10 hours and only getting the pullout done.
They do helkp out a lot. There is no lateral movement at all. I havent tested them with the train going down but I'm sure they will do just fine.He's working, like at a job.

Thank you!i Really like this coaster!

Ignore the beginning of the pull-in. It isn't fully supported yet so it looks like it sags.

Just looking at it like this without tubing, it looks like it's pretty smooth. Great job!

Here's the drop with tubing. Maybe an update later on. What kind of turn around do you guys think I should try for? I want it to come back out right next to or very close to the first drop and pullout. Any suggestions?

Looks very smooth, like always! 
I'd say just go for the classic turn around where it goes up onto the hill, turns around, then goes down.
