Track was mostly smooth but not amazing. Shaping could have been a bit better too but it wasn't too awful. Your dive loop needed to be pointier at the top. You have a habit of letting the auto-banking tool have too much control. It's common for people to accidentally flatten the top like you did here. On a ride I've been working on the auto banking tool tries to bank the track 30 degrees more than I have it currently, all for a 0.2G reduction. I'd rather have the G' than the vicious snap. This banking abuse is most obvious in the immelman and the overbank after the dive loop. The immelman really wanted to be a turn at the top. To fix the overbank, you probably could have made the apex of it the center of the turn instead of very near the exit where it's "trying" to be straight again. Then you could have just had a subtle S-turn into the block brake while keeping a similar footprint. The turn right before the main brake has this problem too but it's not as bad.
Try and make custom supports when you can. It looks like you used prefabs and they're a tad too dense in areas like the main brake. Too dense is better than the opposite. Really though if you make custom supports you can make a ride look so much better. Now I need to pray
Now that I've ragged on you sufficiently on to the good. You had an excellent layout that maybe could have benefited from a helix or something to make it a tad longer (seemed a bit short to have a block brake). Your ride also kept its speed well, and the G's were mostly under control when the auto banking wasn't being a dictator. You also made a nice little environment so the ride "felt nice". Keep cracking at the game and work on figuring out ways to wrestle back with the auto banking tool. Thanks for the track.
