^Yeah the supports seem a bit awkward and there are some weird straight and sharp spots in the drop as well.

The only concern I have is that fact that it will sag (or even brake if your trains are weighted) so I would add one support just before the structure strts to curve. And maybe one at the halfway point of the lift hill.

That looks very familiar..... 
Not bad, but it will indeed sag at least 2-3 inches with a weighted train. You may want to add more supports to the arch, as it will be put under a lot of stress and will essentially push the lift supports outwards, parallel to the track.

Hey guys.
I'm sorry no update... But i have so bad news...
The lift hill did fall down a few times and by that ±15 pieces demolished..
With the parts that are over of the lift i can't build it up again, so that means that i have to make a whole new lift hill. I don't want to do that, and i don't want to demolish more pieces when it falls... so that means that it's cancelled. I'm sorry

Dang. This was looking pretty good (and massive) as well. Oh well. I guess in the fight between building that and breaking pieces, breaking pieces has to come first. Must have been pretty spectacular when it fell though.
