Things to comment on.
1. The red gear at the top looks WAY to low.
2. Use flexies.
3. The drop looks good so far, but the immelman is to far away. I would suggest moving the immelman closer to the drop.

Okay i fixed the gear height. And i moved up the imelmann...but the flexis will take me a little longer to fix. Anything else? Or keep building?

You need to bank the first turn more at the top because of lateral G's (I think that is what it is called) will be too high. I think you are using to many crossties aswell. Well that's all.

I think that you should make the pullout one more yellow rood shorter. Have you oiled and weighted your cars yet? And does the coaster shake?

Looks good but use felxies in the overbanked first drop.
