^the long gray rod
and the breaks in my opinion the stop the train to fast which could give the imaginary riders whiplash just my 2 cents tho
edit: i think a way to fix that would be to just move the magnets (the ones not on the train) away from the track little bit

^ Again agreed. I'm still playing around with the brakes, and obviously this won't be where they're actually applied on the coaster. I'm ultimately going to have them used on a 40 (ish)degree angle brake run, where there, it wouldn't really matter as much since the train will enter at a much slower speed and crawl through them anyway.
At this point I'm kind of experimenting with what they can do and how they will react to something like you suggested, like moving them further away so less surface area of the fin hits the magnets and creates a slower stop. Either that or use a smaller fin which I may consider as well.

Well, this project had been on hiatus for a bit but I began working again. The over bank has been removed and replaced with a nice curvy hammerhead of sorts. It's much taller and adds a nicer element to the layout in my opinion. Should help keep the pacing as well. Thoughts and feedback are welcome, I've never created an element like this really.

Much better choice, sir. It seems like a cross between Superman: Ride of Steel and Millenium Force.
