Where do people keep getting the blue cross ties from?
Otherwise, the predrop looks good!

Not much to comment on yet. I'd say maybe try to coordinate the colors a bit more, the coaster kind of looks messy.

*insert cereal guy spitting out cereal here*
Ultra-rare blue X-ties!? And on my birthday, no less! Anyway, just one thing: the pre-drop is a bit extreme.

If you're going to be modelling it after Fenix (or really any wingrider), the crest will need to be larger and the pre-drop much more gentle. If you're going to do the curve followed by the wing over drop, it should all be on a *slight* downwards incline the whole time. This way the speed of the train will gradually increase but not become instantly too much, giving a much smoother appearance overall. (Just a suggestion.)

The dive drop. I know it might need a little work on smoothing it out. I will try to fix the pre-drop as well.

It's okay. The turn is very sharp and doesn't really flow into the top of the dive loop. The top of the dive loop looks pretty good, but there's a sharp spot right around the brown ladder connector. The half loop has quite a few straight spots, but the overall shape looks pretty good. You can likely fix this by not using ladder connectors and instead staggering the flexi rod connections. This could be because you are in the process of shaping, but everything needs more supports and connections to the track, especially if you're going to be using heavy custom wing trains.
It's close, but needs a bit more love.

looks pretty nice but like RCT2123 said i'd make sure it's supported well, and I think the rest is looking awesome. I'm very excited to see the complete product!
