This is my latest coaster, Sky Rocket. Superman just never worked out. So, this coaster has been kicking my ass- (This is my third week of construction). This coaster has so many odd elements that to get them perfect takes re-doing them multiple times. I'll explain in full with the pics:
The Launch run:
The un-even Top Hat:
(2nd attempt)
The Overbank:
(5th attempt)
The Zero-G-Roll:
(2nd attempt)
Footers for the turn into the MCBR:
Zero-G and Top Hat:
The exit of the 0-G straight into the turn upwards:
HD Video Test Coming Soon.

Wow, you're right, it does have some pretty weird elements. Everything looks awesome! The only thing I see is that the hill is a little short and fat...take a look at this picture.

I built some more, but I'm not going to update until I finish the MCBR. That may be a week or so because Monday I leave for HARRY POTTER WORLD!

It looks pretty nice, but as Steel said, I would make the tophat a bit taller and skinner. Good job with the overbank though, those are such a pain to build (as I am learning with Ion ). The zero-g has great heartlining too, you might just want to support it a bit more. Nice job though!

I agree about the top-hat. This thing should be pretty sick if you keep up with it.
