Is it smooth and long?

I really like what you have so far. It's like you mixed a buckel and a tophat.

Wow guys thanks for all the comments. Well work has progressed over the last few days, I've built an overbank/ helix into the MCBR. Up next will be the water skim like on Atlantis Adventure.

I really like the layout of the upwards spiral. Not just generic & bland, but then again you're a great builder to begin with so I wouldn't expect any less from you.

MCBR- Mid course brake run.
I like what you have. It's beautiful the way you have the curves. I think you should stick to that same idea of turning around that central point, but throw some turns that go the opposite direction in there. Also, the helix could probably be worked on a bit. It looks like it should rise faster before it becomes overbanked.

it's quite squared. You should round out the helix, or you'll lose a bit more speed than usual.

Is the water skim actually going to have water?
And, yeah, the helix could be a little more rounded.

Thanks for all the comments guys.
TBM- I'm still working a little bit with it, just tinkering with some spots.
Rollerdude-Thanks and that's my plan. I'll check out that spot.
MCM- Don't worry I still have plenty of speed.
Poizone-I think it looks like that because of the track banking, and I wanted the helix to get tighter and tighter.
Spooffa-Probably not, unless I can convince my parents to let me put water in the basement.
Keep the comments coming.

It seems really fast. Too fast, though. Have you tried just one booster?

^Yes, one booster doesn't get it up the first hill. I'll most likely add brakes once I know how much speed will be needed to get the ride to the Mid course lift.

I really love it to be honest. Very fluent and I like how your speed is sustained through-out the course.
Whether this has been stated or not I don't know, but what are you going to do for the water sections?

Maybe if you put one booster after the station with low power, and another right before the pull up with more power. Or other combination's like that, to make it so it goes slowly over the top hat and brake run.

^but then its not a brake run, its a straightaway, if it has no brakes...
i say its fine, but build the rest first and if it has enough speed, but brakes on the MCBR.
*hint hint* hidden friction brakes *hint hint

Why not use a rubber band? You can get a very accurate launch with a rubber band.
