i know its already done and this is kind of late for a post but the way i set up the lift it needs posting! i wanted to make my station lower, and have a realistic brake run on this model. i went to work, and after about an hour of trial and error i came up with this:
Overview:
The drop and loop:
The dive loop and raised corkscrew:
the raised corkscrew again, the helix, and curve to FBR:
and finally, the new lift system:
Before you decide to build this, the lift becomes somewhat choppy (nothing to really freak out about) when using this setup. and i KNOW i suck at splicing rails, so don't give me tons of crap about that! before you ask, the reason i used gray rails on the station, FBR, and the lift was because i didn't want to waste good phoenix rail where it wasn't needed.

Bumpy. But people like to make their own custom coasters most of the time...

That was done in the Griffon/Shekria Models. Looks good, drop needs banking though.

He means the first drop needs more banking than it does now. Pretty self explanitory.
