Your coaster is good but, it needs more track strengtheners (Connections to the supports) and needs alot more flexis for the cross-ties.. Its good that it dosen't shake much but still, I think it will gain a bit more speed with more track strengtheners.

Hope I helped, Woofy :)

Couple of big things.

1. Those hills should be much higher the train flies over them.
2 It sounds like you haven't lubed, you should definitly do that with silicone spray.

Over all pretty cool coaster.

^I suppose it's too late now but if I should, should I replace it with one big hill, or make them both a little bit bigger? And those trains were just lubed a few hours earlier, which is probably why it goes over the last few hills so fast. IT doesn't move as quickly over them as in the video. It probably sounds like that because the wheels are loose and are being knocked around inside the casing, but haven't checked that yet.

^^I just added a bunch of flexis to most of the track. It feels much more solid than before (don't get any weird ideas).
