As I have ridden this multiple times (and I still want to build this beast), I think I know what I'm talking about:

1. The drop is alright. I don't think it is perfectly heartlined, but it sure is good enough. :)
2. Make sure the crest of the lift hill is shaped well. No bumps. I can't really tell from that picture.
3. The exit of the hill has to be about three or four yellow rods high. Also make sure the pull-out gradually flows into the first (awesome) overbank.
4. Check out this video and watch 1:44. There you can see a nice side-view of the hill and you'll see it's not that pointy. It's very low, causing the train to go over it very fast. So less pointy. I know it's -1G you'll get on that hill, but still... too pointy at the moment.
5. The station does NOT have a roof.

Alright thanks guys (Gump Mainly, I hope you'll help me a lot on this) And gump, the train goes over the hill really fast. I'll fix things up when I get back from my lake house this weekend.

Oh and gump, I love the music in the video:D

The cars just died at the end...

The hill looks good, but the pull out is a little sharp at the end.

The pull-out still needs to be a little higher.

Here, look at this:

It looks like the pull out is halfway up the hill.

^No, it's like I said. And since he's getting to about 2.5 yellow's in height, I say: raise! It needs to be horizontal at about 3.5 yellow's.

How high is the overbank compared to the last hill? Can you get a side view? Maybe bank it sooner. It's nice'n'smooth though. Sentances with now flow rule.

^Here Also I finished(Hopfully ;)) The overbank

Now, because of the raised height the train now glides over the overbank instead of just shooting through it.

Wow, looks great! Compared to CAC's picture, it looks a bit steep, but I say leave it. I always have so much trouble with them, but it looks like it was easy for you. Great job!
