I'm constructing a huge new Intamin Mega Coaster right now called 'Dragon Fury' (patent pending[;)]). Here's a quick walkthrough of the ride: 70* drop (can't tell exactly), 125* overbank, bunny hop, 360 helix, 125* overbank (very slow to give riders some negative Gs), bunny hop, double heartline roll (yep, in a mega-coaster). However, the main feature of this ride are its supports. Everything is planned on being 100% custom done on this ride, and I might just go ahead and write an article on how I did these supports, as I did find a few speed-up techniques along the way that don't compromise the quality of the support connections. Anyways, enough talk. Here's what I still need to do and what I've done:
-Trackwork (100%, layout is final)
-Smoothing (100%, a few notices w/ bunny hills when I upload, they're purposely very sharp to give very small doses of extreme airtime, and heartline rolls are unfixable because of SM's limited banking options, remember that SM has no "tools")
-Custom Supports (40%, still coming up with ideas for the helix/2nd overbank)
-Final Testing ( 0%, May ask for 2 beta testers, maybe not)
-Final Lookover (0%, Make sure everything is fine)

NL users without SM, don't feel left out, I'm planning on making a POV using fraps for you guys (but dont rate when uploaded plz)

Well it'll be uploaded soon. I'll post a link in Track Advertising when it's released along with a POV for you NL'ers.
Everything is done, and I hope to have it uploaded by the end of weds. Final testing is now 80%, and Lookover is 60%. The terrain is rather flat on purpose, and trees aren't too plentiful. I need to make sure all supports are "correct", then I'll record a POV with Fraps.
I hope you enjoy it when it's uploaded!

Oh trust me, 60% of the supporst are new concepts/ideas, and they seem to be good enough to actually support a track like this (better hope so hehe). Anyways, the track shoudl be uploaded tomorrow or the day after, possibly friday even. The POV will be uploaded at the same time too, and I'll post links. It's coming along pretty well, trees done, the flattish surface needs minor revising, and a queue is a no, it would take AGES lol.
