Whoever can guess what knex coaster is on that right hand piece of paper on the table gets two cookies. Also, the angle of the pics make the upper support section look stressed-trust me it's not.
Feel free to comment.

Yes, my newest project has arrived!! The Illusionist is a launched coaster that combines several different company styles to create a high speed, relentless ride. The complete circuit will be only part of the ride, as I hope to add some nice theming to this coaster. On to the pics....

You ready to ride the Fist O' Pain?

Hmmm...Im gonna guess it's the Dragon's Drop Coaster?
I really like this coaster! The size of the crest is really good. How many trains are you using? And what kind of launch?
EDIT: Is that a cage?

St33l: Lol, we have a large dog crate in our garage.
Da cool: Layout will be revealed as I build (which translates to: 'crap, I need to think of a layout').
^Only CF11 pointed out that sharp area.
Also, it's an S&S Power(ish) crest and we all know how sharp their crests are.
Oh, and no the knex coaster on the paper is not Magnum. C'mon Chubs where's your guess??
Anyways...
Tophat is complete!! All supports are mirrored as well. Pics....

Back to sarcastic talk, if it flies over that tophat, I'd suggest you stretch it out a bit, but if it rolls over at a hypersonic pace, I'd say you're ace.

I think you should make the sides go closer to vertical. Everything else looks spiffy.

^^^Fixed.
And now...an update (overdue as usual)!!! This, ladies and gentelmen, is what happens when you combine Hypersonic (or something like that) with Maverick.....
Looks familiar somehow...oh yeah, that's right.
Ah, that was a pretty nice coaster of mine if I do say so myself...but back to the pics.

Thanks, I believe I got rid of some of those bumps you were referring to.
And now for the next element....a low to the ground, high-speed buckel!! I believe there's something wrong with it but, I can't quite figure it out...I've never been the best with buckels... Pics...

Everything until the buckel looks great. The thing is, I think, with the buckel is that it's too low to the ground. The hill is so small, it just looks like a bump in the track.

After the tophat there is no more hieght out of the ride. Knexems is right, just make the buckel higher and the hill taller and you should be good.

Can we get an overview of the buckel? I think it should turn more.
