It looks nice. You wanted a comment so i'll give you one.

It looks really good! I can't notice any bumps. It barely makes it thru the roll but, it's good. I love the elements... Keep up the good work!

I can't believe it, but you've rendered me sarcastic comment-less.

Anyway, to satisfy your desire for a comment from me, everything looks smooth. I don't like how certain parts of the ride have 4-5 crossties per flexis and others (i.e. heartline) have a bazooka-zillion. But since i've said that a bazerlion times, it seems unnessecary (did i spell that right?) to point out

^I see, but that's the only way to get it as smooth as I wanted. The original idea was to just take off the green track ties and badda-bing badda-boom insta heartline roll, but it was bumpy. Added track ties and walakasham! Smooth. I don't really love it, but it's better than a bumpy track with regular track ties, imo.

I like this coaster, the heartlined roll is the most special part, I find.

The only thing I don't like is the sudden changes in speed.

I was wondering if that heartline would still work if the metal rod was through the holes in the middle of the track ties. If it worked, that would be an excellent way to have a smaller heartline.

^^but, wouldn't the trains be twisting almost directly around the riders' hearts, making it a heartline (not to be difficult, just honestly wondering)?

He means the cross ties that help heartline the roll, not the actuall track.

It still wouldn't work, because all of the ties are at different angles.

Well the track work is finished. I'll call it V1, because the ending sucks.
That does mean that I'm going to redo the ending when I get around to it.
But I'll have pics either today, or in a week or so.
Cross your fingers.
