Looks pretty good. The only thing is, the crest is too sharp.

SCREW THE WORLD!!!

I can't make the crest bigger because of the lift hill. I made another chain dog under the last car and I only have 4 cars in this coaster. If I make the a bigger crest, the train will not make it.

It would be better for you to make the gears in the middle of the crest and have the chain sag a little than to have a really sharp crest IMO.

It looks pretty good to me. The crest would probably look better if it was larger, but if you can't, it's not a big deal. I also think that the end of the pullout needs to be more drawn out, considering fliers have huge pullouts.

hmm can't say much about it, but from this photo we can't comment that many also. A direct side vieuw would be nice and an overview.

^Overview? Ha...all he added was a pretzel loop...
I think it looks good, but a side view of the pretzel would be nice, and also a picture of the drop from this angle maybe?

I really like the coaster. I dont see much of a shake at all. Keep up the good work.

Shaping is spot on, just it looks like you might be able to get a little more height out of the second half of the pretzel loop. Not a huge deal though.

It looks pretty good...the only problem is that it loses speed kinda fast.

Yeah, I agree with ^, but we'll see after the next element if there is enough speed.

Looks great though !

I see a bit of shaking, so maybe you could add some laterals. I also agree with steel and cac. Make the crest bigger and try to get more out of the speed.
