^Umm...

I agree with Mike. Shape is good, but it looks un-proportional.

Here is what I will strive for.
First line is where it is now, second line is where It can be, third line is where I want it to be. After I get new pieces and support it/make it bigger, if I cant get it where I want it to be, I will have to have another layout change.

Here is a video

Well, I hope you can do it. It would look great at that height.

Damn. I hate it when I run out of pieces in the middle of a coaster (say, now on Infernal Hurricane).

Support the first little hill because the track bends down when the train goes over it at intense speed.

i say #2, but thats just my opinion...

i like the drop and the overbank, but to me, the rest is ^^^^^^^^^^crapshit lol.
not the whole layout is crap, but i think you should take out that little airtime hill, replace it with a big banked turn(like on Millenium Force), then go up to the overbank over the lift...
otherwise good,

I don't like either of the choices. Here is what I think you should do:

I would take out that last element and make that speed bump thing longer. All it needs is to be longer. Do not change the overbank in anyway possible, it is perfect.

Make the second hill into the overbanked turn higher. That would be much more interesting than changing the whole layout.

^^^^,^^^ If I did another banked turn after the overbank, I will loose the same amount of speed. How do i know? Because I already tried that. And I deff. dont think it is crapshit.
^^Interseting idea, I though it could be longer as well, but I wanted to see if someone would point it out. Which overbank? The first one? I was never going to change it in the first place.
^So you like the element I created? And your syaing just make it higher? I think it is really unique, and I really like it.

MORE ADVICE!

Oh, I thought you meant the first overbank.
I'm veering towards choice one. And let me change my mind about trashing the last element, it is unique and I like it.

^I'm thinking a bit of the same, maybe keep the tiny ejector hill, then turn the unique thing into just an overbanked turn for more speed, and then a nice juicy airtime hill parallel to the lift over the ejector hop? And then a stengel dive into a sexy beast of a helix...

Epic visual edit:

Overbank, airtime hill, stengel dive, and helix in alternating colors. Ooh!
