I can always drop the non-inverted piece, too.

Edit: Roadrunner, do you have any good pics of a butterfly loop? Or do you have one you can send me?

^There are a few of Goudrix's here:

And a couple of Ninja's here:

They pretty much look really weird and seem to ride terrible, but that's just based on videos.

looks kind of like double bat-wing, I've experimented with something similar
What are these for?

I'll try to make one and I'll get back to you if I still need one.

Edit: While trying to make a butterfly loop, I made this instead.

I like the inversion(s), but the turn after the MCBBR looks very egg shaped rather than circular
What are these for?

Well, I'm having some issues with that turn. I need it to come back to point south before heading into the corks at the bottom of that hill, when I smoothed the transition from the bottom of the hill and the beginning of the cork, it turned the track and caused that egg shape.

I like that thing you made. I would vote for that or the Butterfly. But it's up to you. :)
YES!

Perhaps I could fix some of the issues I'm having with my current configuration if my first inversion pointed in a different direction. Since I can't seem to figure out how to make a butterfly, maybe someone will help? Once I get two prototypes, I'll hire on a tester or two.

Okay, it's looking great so far. Good luck, will there be theming and/or que/.3ds? Also I will soon be making my own Arrow-Hyper/Looper but that's another story.
YES!

Once I have a layout that I'm happy with, I'll add in the theme and stuff. For now, we build!

Yes, I agree but at this point I just wondered if you had considered a theme. You are pretty far into the build.
YES!

I think I'm going to stick with a generic theme park. Or I could re-make a certain part of my "home park" - Darien Lake.

Remember to make the incredibly stupid twist part in the butterfly lol

I have the butterfly...perfect in all it's glory or lack thereof. You will be pleased ;) Also if you need any .3ds that might have been in my Rex of ShockWave you can use them again as long as you give credit :)
YES!

I have some .3ds that I'm going to use along with some custom objects.

That's way better than any butterfly roll...you could call it a "reverse double butterfly" as Arrow calls its batwings "reverse double boomerangs..."

I thought it was pretty cool, too. But the orientation of it forces me to modify other parts of the coaster, which is causing problems.

Any way, you want it man. I will send you the Butterfly and you can use or or not. Also I usually make a generic theme park setting as well. But .3ds always enhances the ride so I would always take the time to put it in. I can't wait to see the final product. :) Custom Cartexture?
YES!
