Many of you have downloaded my ride sniped... You may also know that I built it 2 years ago and it had many problems.

I decided to make it again as an improved version. It will have all custom supports and a smoother track. I did come asross one problem though, I didn't know if some of you may call this under supported.

Any comments and suggestions would be great.

it gives a more intense look to it.(and for a roller coaster that is exactly what people like)

Actually, it looks oversupported. Try just using two large tube columns, in the typical "A" frame shape. It'll look more B&M hyper like.
Hates oscar for taking points...

I'd suggest using the same support layout but just spacing the track nodes farther apart. The more recent B&M hypers just use the A-frame shape supports, but if you're going for a similar look to, say, Nitro, then go ahead with the style of supports in your picture, just with more distance between the track nodes.

I'd use thinner supports if I were you...
And maybe more of them...
