EDIT: I also think I will raise the tophat a bit. It looks too short. I assume making the towers closer together will help with that as well.

Ok now for the update. This one's not huge, but I improved a lot. First off, I have made the tophat higher up to be more realistic, and I have made the launch smoother and faster for the new height of the coaster. Here are some pictures:
The tophat before:
And after:
Now some tests:
Before I had redone the launch
After I had redone the launch
And before I go, does anyone know how tall the first overbank is in comparison to the first hill?
EDIT: And yes, the tower to the right is leaning a bit. I am going to move it a little to the left so hopefully that helps.
Comment please!

Thanks!Looking good so far!
I have made the middle tube wich has also leveled the support tower. Thank you!The middle tube would help on stabilizing the top-hat, the whole second support looks to be bending too. Can you also try to support the turn after the top-hat a little better. Keep on going!
Dang that sounds like fun. Hopefully I can have the chance to ride it at some point in my life.I've ridden Xelerator like 73 Times. .___. It gets a LITLLE boring after a while, but not too much. And I once rode it in the rain, in the front row, 5 times (in a row),without getting out of my seat! Beat that!! (Pwease?)

Yet another smaller update, this one has more to it than most do though. I smoothed and stretched out the pullout and pullin of the tophat-overbank. I have also made the tophat even higher, and smoother. And last, but not least, I have made 1/2 of the overbank. There are some bumps on it so I'll work on that.
And a test.
Let me know what you think!

Looks good. I suggest making the tubes at the top of the overbank taller and the connections shorter, the closer you can get the tubes to the track the better it will look and work. I also suggest trying to color code a bit more if you can, it will make the ride look better. Other than that it looks good, speed doesn't seem to be an issue and it doesn't shake very much, nice job.
Thanks! And with the support/color issue- Piece count is really the reason I ended it so quick.
Alright, its finished. But there are a ton of things to note:
1. I did not have much motivation left.
2. I was out of pieces.
3. I have a new better coaster planned
4. I did not want to wait until I could get a new set as it could be until January.
5.The track ties and shaping were all because of my piece count problem.
With all that stated, i would like to present to you: Xcelerator!
