Well here is what i have been working on lately, a 250 ft tall B&M hyper. It is pretty much done smoothing so all is left is to support it and add some scenery, and maybe some 3ds. Good?

Is it just me or are B&M hypers becoming more and more popular these days?
Anyway, the ride looks great. I love that twisted section, quite original. The entrance into the MCBR looks a bit wierd, if it's meant to be a double-up, it should be a bit more obvious, and should probably start around 1/2 to 2/3 of the way up.

Yea i actually just kind of started to mess around with that idea of the double up. I dont know for sure yet if i will keep it or not.

The movie? Its definantly not named after some crappy movie. Sorry if you liked that movie[:D]. But it might just be themed spooky i guess, who knows though.

Haha to tell the truth it was barracuda for me too. I just liked how real it felt and flowed.

You know who to call if you ever happen to need any testing, Matt. Go ahead and send away when ready.

Yea, same with woodies, I think we just go through spells. Soon it will be inverts, then arrows.

If your going for realism, then don't have banking over 90*. I've yet to see a B&M hyper with that. Also, 250' is a bit high. I wouldn't go over 220-230 but thats just me. If realism is key, change it.

Well for the height, it is about 245 ft tall and then the first drop is about 230. And there is no banking over 90. The max is 85. Fits your requirements. [:)]

Looks pretty good. I like the layout a lot. Make sure it is smooth for me, as this track shows me some promise. I'll be waiting for this one. :)
