Colors are amazing dude, but your supports (not to be harsh ) are just rubbish. Try to improve those, and consider flanging them before you release this.

I like how the ride is layed out, but I have to agree; the supports can be greatly improved.
Just keep scrolling...

The only flaw i see is (as mentioned) the supports. work on those and make sure the track is smooth.

The top of the lift looks quite misshapen in the 3rd picture...
Are you handbuilding?

Layout looks spectacular, but yeah the trackwork generally consisdering the crests doesn't look too great. Hopefully you'll try to fix it up a bit and make it a little more circular and perhaps a little larger (speaking mainly towards the lift crest).

^ just for reference, normally mega-lites do have a ton of supports. Specifically on areas of track that are only 2 rails, with no triangular structure. Look at screenie's of Kawasemi.

The supports are all too big. They may have a lot of supports, Mike, but they are generally just closely spaced supports that are about half that size.

And Stealthrider, IDK too much about the supports at the bottom of the first drop. They look just a little sketchy. You should probably make the angle of the diagonal beams a little closer to 60-75 degrees from the ground.

Yeah, way too wide on the supports.

The bottom of the first drop should have generally strait supports, or ones that point inwards. look at these: http://www.rcdb.com/ig4038.htm?picture=4 at the bottom of the picture.

Or these, if you wanna do more work:
