Presenting "Falcon".. I haven't come up with a better name yet.

130 ft. tall..
40 mph vertical launch..
the most insane <10 seconds of your life..

It's a laying down coaster so the Gs never get too high... something like 4 Gs.

So anyways back to the original question, how would I go about supporting this.. thing?

Well I'm an arrow guy so I would probably scaffold support the whole thing but that doesn't seem right. One question...How many circuits of this track per ride?
YES!

Black rectangle - Use a scaffold like structure
Blue rectangle - Use plain straight supports
Oval - use a combination of scaffold and inverted types

Have vertical supports going up on each side of the track with horizontal beams and tubes connecting them (and holding up the tracK). If one section (like the circle above) has multiple layers, just have the vertical supports go all the way up.

^Exactly, the Zacspins are a good demonstration.

The Screaming Squirrel styles are a possibility too.

by all means download my Screamin' Squirrel for an in editor inspiration or 3D view of how and where to support:

Your side with the two half loops lend it self quite nicely to the leaning tower of the S&S Screamin' Squirrel frame.

Speaking of Stingray, I found this picture of the rules sign. 2,3, and 4 made me laugh. Seriously, who brings a sword on a roller coaster?

People who are prgnant, drunk, or taller than 2 meters are not proper.
