not to be the odd one out, but i actually like the look of this. Maybe not the simple left to rights then into brake, i would do a higher (half the height of the tophat) S bend hill, with some sweet neg G's. Just another element so its not ALL tophat. What are the positive G's entering/exiting the hill?

I think the style of supports on my coaster XRC would be appropriate if you have the time: http://www.coastercrazy.com/track_excha ... ?tid=12534

4.6 and 4.6 (both times)

The last hill gets to about -1.6/-1.7.

-1.6 is too low.

Then should I use a trim on the down (or up) part of the hill?

Design it so that there is no need for a trim.

Plus, the transition into the brakes is much smoother.

Testers?

The head of the element looks engorged.

Also hw fast does it go over the top? You know in real life you need to be able to have speed vary a bit unless you want more rollbacks than Kingda Ka and TDD combined.

Looks interesting, I'm curious to see how smooth that top-hat will run.

^ Made by FVDs
^^ Maybe I will.
^^^ About 20-ish mph (MAX -1.2 gs (back seat)).
^^^^ Those supports are to make sure that the g-forces will not destroy only a few of them, so I need a lot. As you will see in the editor, the straight sections on it have a lot less of them than the helix there.

Expect this to be released in a couple of days.

Also, it runs 4 trains of 3-car X-car trains very well and consistently.
