A few small bumps here and there, but otherwise it's very good.

Is the top of the immelmann too sharp?

Erm, it's way too tight. You should either reduce the pull-in or make it less tight. It's smooth but not the right shape.

Wow... That's way too thin and sharp. It also looks under-supported.

Uber sharp. And the twist needs to be heartlined. Here is a reference picture. It only shows the top half, but the pull-in is kind of self explanitory.

Guy's, I'm not going for realism. I just want to have fun building, but it's not fun when you guys tell me to fix every little bump or mistake. If there's a big problem or if I want to make it perfect, then I'll go back and fix it. The train goes through the immelmann with very little speed so I won't change it.

I'll have pictures of the loop when I get back from soccer practice.

Soccer FTW!?!?!? It would go over with more speed if it was less tight.

No, it would not go over with more speed if it wasn't as tight as it is. I did some measurements and figured out that it loses lessthan a granite rod of speed from the drop to the immelmann.

If you want to fix it, then the top of the immelmann is too sharp and should twist a lot sooner. If you don't want to fix it though, then that's fine. Looks fairly good so far.

Dude, you asked if the top of the immlemann was sharp, then you yelled at people for telling you that it is. Just a little contradicting.

It is sharp, but it's not necessary to change.

Sorry guys, I haven't been able to update with pictures of the loop, and won't be able to for at least a week. My laptop is broken and I won't be able to get it fixed until next week. I'm moving the coaster to my garage right now, because there's not enough space for it in my room. My dad wants this finished ASAP, so Im going to have to finish this without updates.

Sorry...

YAY! You won't do what we tell you so, there's no point in even posting updates.
