The speed must be pretty high, considdering the heighth difference between the station and the barrelroll...
That doesn't matter tho, I ment high speed, as in, fast rotation.

it can be too bad; although having ridden the only stand-up with a zero-g roll I have to say it wasn't that comfortable...

A 0G roll is completely different.
In the 0G roll, there's 0G at the top, so the discomfort is only caused by the rotational forces.
The barrelroll isn't parabolic, so the G forces are constant (1G). And when the train changes orientation, the direction of gravity changes, in relation to your body, thus causing 1G, 1G lateral, -1G and -1G lateral, in this order, while traveling through the element.
So, the barrelroll combines the discomfort caused by the rotational forces with the discomfort of being thrown around by gravity, while the train rotates around the heartline.

So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

Perhaps something like Venom?
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

Those trees are freaking EPIC!! I love them! I do have a concern about the poly count, though....are they low poly?

Also, I like the new name alot better than the old one. Are you looking for testers? Or did I miss that?
