I also have an annoying curve in the lift track as you can see in the 2nd pic. I can't get rid of it, i think the tower and lift truss are just torqueing diff ways. Should I maybe disconnect the track from the truss and re-connect it? I'm open to suggestions, and criticize at will!!

And you can keep the loop by setting it aside and building one element before it. Then connect the loop, and you're good...

The only thing that you could change is the loop's size, if it was bigger it would keep speed better throughout the rest of the ride.
Ok, so I changed the loop and made it bigger, and "fixed" it i think. Tried to make the supports look more real. I like it, what do you guys think?
Right now I'm having trouble with the banked hill turn, I test ran and the train only made it about 2/3 the way up. Very dissappointed. Doesn't it look like this layout so far should be working? My 1st drop is 6 ft., The loop is 37", the next hill right now is 35". I don't get it. Is the loop killing my speed? I'm still considering what outerlimits said. IDK. Please any advice will be good, and be critical.

Make it more like 1 flowing motion, and also, I think that in real the G-forces on the drop would make your eye-balls pop out, which is a really negative thing.
Also, the loop is really small compared to your drop.
Ah well, not bad for a 2nd coaster...
