sorry, I just really want to build big for a coaster. If it starts to get real bad I will build smaller. A lot of people didnt think Steelspectrum could build with tube supports but he did. How is it so far?

So far it's going fine, just a few things. It's too sharp at the top, and I would support the track a lot more. Proper supporting is crucial to coasters this large.

You should be able to fix it by taking out everything in the oval and moving the whole drop in a yellow rod.

You don't need so many towers for your supports. For that height, maybe two towers, then have the supports follow the track. Add gears to the top of your lift, too.

^You forgot about the Morgan-like crest: it shouldn't angle down, then straight, then do a drop. It should be fluid, with no straight spots. Hopefully someone with good MS Paint skills can show you, because... well, I'm too lazy

Dude, you're wasting yellow rods.
Notice how the supports follow the track closely, and I don't have any towers between the main tower and the bottom of the drop.

If you keep changing your mind, you'll never get good at something. Stick to building one coaster. If it gets tough, don't give up right away.

Why is it when we tell you how to do something, you do something completely different?
Anyway, if you're going to layer flexis, do it right, please.
Under the track: What the hell? What don't you get about more supporting?
Notice how I ALWAYS have box supports underneath the track, and have several connections between the track and the structure, and not just a half moon on 2 silvers. I have it connected to the outside structure.
