The bottom of the pull-out is kind of sharp. Looking Good!

It looks good, I like the predrop a lot. The only thing I might point out is that the crest looks abnormally large...is this still going to be of the 1920's style?

Well no, I was referring to the beginning of the drop being somewhat large, sorry for confusion. It looks pretty much fine, just a little weird.

^i just put it in free lance.
^^i like the drop they way it is. i dont want it to just fall down, i was going for a gradual drop.
i will probably nt be updating for a while, my mom isnt letting me wor on the coster until i study for the permit test. but i will probably sneak a little building in this weekend so look for an update.

I like the drop, but you may want to make the supports closer to the track up near the top of the drop, it will make it look more like a woodie. The rest is nice, this looks promising!

^Exactly what I was going to say. It looks weird how the track is so far away from the supports on the drop's crest, but the track goes into the supports at the pull-out of the drop. Balance that out a little more. I really like the crest and pre-drop.

In the last picture, the angle of the decline seems to get greater near the end, so you might want to think about making it more even. The rest looks pretty nice, I like the degree of the lift hill.

I think it looks good, but I would bank the drop out of the first hill a bit sooner.

another update, but this will probably be the last for a little while. my soccer season is ending soon, i still need to get my permit, and with homework, i dont have as much time to build. but i will try to get a little building in now and then. anyways, here are the pictures.
