Ok, I'll send it to the four of you, but no more please. At the moment, I'm only trying to find out what people think of the layout before I begin smoothing and so on.

Track looks amazing, not to keen on the name though, although it will probably grow on me (Like the name Rita has!). If you need another name i thought of "Medo: A fear beyond fears" Medo means fear in portugu?????????s! actually no, thats quite a poor name! lol.
The layout on this looks very good, im guessing its a B&M!!!! Very original for a B&M! The bit that looks the best is the part just after the turn from the launch. It does like a very spaced out cobra roll! Looks cool, send some more screenies!!!

coaster is well so so, I'd give it a 6 or so. missing supports, needs more smoothing etc [;)] It does need more uhm speed through stuff imo, seems to lag and the mcb is liek too freaking long and high and slow, can you like uhm do something about it, pacing seems ok I guess just spee dit up a bit.

Android, erm, you can be a tester in the next stage of testing, this was just the first stage, just for me to see if any changes should be made to the layout. You can test in the next stage to see if you think its smooth enough, well enough supported etc etc....

PM me your email please, it'll make my life easier [:D] hehe

If your wondering why I might need all these testers ... its cus I'm greedy [:P] hehe, nah, its because my computer is so bad, that I can't test for the following things:

G's
Smoothness
Speed
Adrenaline

I just have to go on guesswork unless I get people to tell me what I need to change, so there you go, my life story [:)]

ok, the track honestly sucks! There's so many bumps, its unbelievable, but i bet it seems smooth on your pc ;)
The layout is good so don't change anything there, Also i don't like the weird element which the rides does after the drop, it feels awkward to me. I think you should consider buying a better pc and stop buying other stuff so you can enjoy nl!

Matt, I did say that the track has not yet been smoothed, I explained that it was just the layout. The only part I needed of that mini rating was "i don't like the weird element which the rides does after the drop, it feels awkward to me." That tells me that I might want to consider changing that element before I spend ages smoothing the coaster. Thats why I sent the track to you unsmoothed, so I didn't waste my time smoothing the coaster if I was going to end up changing major parts of it. Thanks for your criticism though [:)]
