The last part without tubing is the beginning of a loop. After it will be a vertical spike.
Please comment!

Thanks! I won't actually launch it that fast; that was just a demonstration.It looks good. The turn shakes a bit, but I'm sure you'll resolve that. There may be a few bumps on the top too, but I can't tell from those views. Good job though.
No, not right now, sorryCould I see it going back through the launch?
Yes, I know, the rods make it a little bumpy. But the tubing kinda smooths it out, and I'm going to add middle tubing as well. The hard rods make the track really strong too, which is really important with tubes.Well, my only concern is the bumpiness the rods are creating.
And I took some better pics:

^ That coaster is actually what inspired the layout. Thanks!
Oh BTW, I am going to make the whole loop out of flexi's since the top is too tight for hard rods.
How tall should it be?

NOTE: Leviathan is not cancelled, or even remotely postponed! This is a side project which will only take me a few days. I invented a way to make a shuttle coaster be able to go backwards through its launch, and even have a lift on its spike (like Mr. Freeze). Oh, and I made another launch too.
Over-achieve much?
Looks cool, but I don't like the look of it's low-peaks, as it's going to have a vertical spike, and enough speed to rip you outta your skin when it goes back over, it'd look slightly more realistic, maybe even more epic if it was a little taller..

Come on guys, its a prototype coaster to test his company's launch idea, the track really doesn't have to be perfect.
Good point, I spose it's up to you SS, keep it as it is, if you want, lol.

Sure...in my next update.This looks interesting! Can I have some pics of the launch mechanism please? Thanks!
Oh...ok. I don't think I'll redo it though.SS: I don't just mean taller, I mean larger, by a scale factor of 1.5 to 2.
bigger would look so much better..
Thanks, and yeah I dont really care too much about the track, as long as it's close enough.Come on guys, its a prototype coaster to test his company's launch idea, the track really doesn't have to be perfect.
Test Vid
That's the speed that it will actually be launching at...and it will be going slower when it goes backwards.
