This is my first coaster, with the help of Thezachman28. I am open to constructive criticism, but just remember by the time I have posted this, it is now complete. But this is the first update :

This looks great for your first coaster, but on thing I would change is I'd stager the ladder connd ctors in your spine, having them all in one place can cause sharp spots.

The overbank looks great, good job. Like ^ said, on your next coaster I would stagger the ladder connectors and eventually remove them completely. Look at other coasters you can see how if you stagger the flexi rods you don't need the ladder connectors, this allows for a smoother and better looking coaster. Good luck.

I think you could get a longer layout if you did box supports instead of tubes.

This is a good coaster so far especially because its your first coaster but, one criticus is use box supports for your first coaster as The stig already said, but i like it so far keep going!

I would have used box supports but me and Zach both agreed to use tubes because I only used 1 SS on this coaster.
thanks for the feedback.

HERE IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT OF MEGALADON VERSION 1
That is the finished product of megaladon version 1. A few extra topic/subjects/things :: The reason I say version 1 is because I ordered another screamin' serpent and my first Rippin' Rocket, so now I can do the things I wanted to the ri',de, instead of finishing the coaster so fast due to lack of pieces. Next, I use a Canon, Rebel T3i, and it gives you amazing pictures in good lighting, for a price of 630$, it should do good for you too. Th next update will come within 2 days, so stay tuned! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
