Okay so this is the lay out that I have planed lift/drop, turning hill(90*), hill, helix up to break run then, turning down into the section that i previously built bunny hills and turns back to the station and lift. (I may end up moving the first section around that is not the permanent spot where i have it placed in the pic outside).

92% of teens have moved on to rap. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music copy and paste this into your sig.

That sounds good, but the helix would kill alot of speed, so you might not be able to make the MCBR high enough to clear the part you have built. We'll see what happens!

Honestly, It doesn't look that good, your supports are stressed, and the pull-out's uneven. Not trying to be mean.

I think you're overstepping your limits. Some of the supports are bending, and they all look random and uneven. Try looking at real pics of drops.

You will also want to add laterals at the bottom of the drop. Without them, it could cause it to shake and kill speed fast.
Also, note the support bending on the lift. You NEED to make stronger supports, or you'll have issues with it.
Last thing, there is a straight part over the gears, which is making your drop inconsistent and unattractive.
....That's so gonna get sig'd.

Yep, sig'd
try adding a horizontal tube support between the A supports on the lift.

yup, your supports just make it look ugly, the spacing should be realistic and the supports as well. and where is your backbone? Like wise.

Pies??
Anyway it looks very good but I'd straighten the first support, it's leaning now.

i think you need another support between the last one supporting the lift and the first one ssupporting the drop. that is a long span to not have a support.

The drop looks great, but the last support holding the lift and the first support holding the track look like they are standing at awkward angles (not straight up and down).
