Hmm, I see you are running low on pieces. How about instead of the full 180* turn out of the MCBR, why don't you just do a normal left turn into a corkscrew under the lift into the station? Sounds good to me :)

The loop still looks a little pointy...

Oh for cying out loud, the pull into the MCBR is majorly sharp, the loop, no offence, is terrible and needs to be shaped like this:

Dude, give him a chance. Its one of his first coasters and hes dutch. The loop obviously is not going to be like the ones we see nowadays, hes already made the pullouts at different heights so it can't really be fixed now.

Have you lubed your trains yet? You could build a longer coaster if you lubed. :)

CAC'c loop's pull out's are at different hights, and it's shaped like that >.< so he doesn't need any excuses, I know he's new, but If he tried to shape it right, then he'll get a longer layout (and hopefully be more happy for it)

After you fix the loop, here is a suggestion for after the MCBR. If you really want to be challenged, try interlocking corkscrews. In the picture, I circled the interlocking corks so you can see the shaping. I also circled the MCBR to show you how close it is to the corks. (track wise)

Lubrication, Spray it in the wheel areas, and it means the wheels have less friction, letting them spin faster, letting the car go quicker :)
