I disagree. I feel that boneplaya is right. The steepness is fine if not over done because it looks like the angle is making it seem less rounded and steep. Considering the angle I think I'm seeing at, this looks good. I think you're wrong that it is too circular.
The hill looks fine, only thing I have against it is it needs to be more parabolic. It's a bit sharp at the top. All I would suggest would be to lower vertex of the hat, and round out the sides a little more.
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.
hmm...in all honesty, I'd make the G's at the top a little closer to 0. Maybe -.1? It's a subtle difference, but it might make it a bit more realistic.
I never said it did happen in the middle of the train. The weight of the train would reduce the forces from -0.4 or so to 0 G's once the front car hits the vertex of the hat. It's just a suggestion to get your hill shaped a little better.

Does it really matter that much? Its a hill on a roller coaster. It looks close enough. Don't waste your time on trying to be perfect, to where you lose all enjoyment. I'm sure every one of B&M's hills isn't exactly alike. Either way, this is your roller coaster, not B&M's.

From what I see, B&M hills are (very close to) perfectly parabolic. If you know newton well enough,you would know that if you sustain 0 gs, you will get a perfectly parabolic hill. Because at perfectly 90 degrees, you have 0 gs, so if you have zero gs and are not quite vertical, you will need more than that to become vertical because zero can get you extremely close but not quite. And, the radius is tightest at the apex and slowly increases s it goes to either side. That is excluding friction which is not much of a factor at all. If you put friction to zero, you could make an equation out of the parabola that is created from you setting the value to zero gs and continuing. Just try to keep the g at zero and you will have decent shaping (considering you mess nothing else up).
