    Wonderful screen you've got there although it's unfinished I really
    love it.
    This park is turning out totally awesome and I can't wait for a release
    or just for the message that you've finished it.

    1: I think its dumb to use the launch hill when its been done so many times before and only one has been done in real life.


    So what, it should never be done again? You could say the same thing about Arrow 4D's when there are only 2 in the world. The layout looks genius, and the s-bend is old school, I haven't seen that in a while. The queue is fantastic, it all looks very good and I hope it comes together.

    Crossbeams on B&M supports? (If it's not a B&M, might want to change the trains.)
    It is a B&M although ive not strictly followed B&M photos and used the B&M invert model im building (im sure most of you have seen it) as an example for the supports.Should i remove the cross beams?

    Yes, you really should.

    B&M only use crossbeams when they're an absolute structural necessity. Out of all of their coasters, I think I've seen a total of two or three -- and in those cases, the crossbeam is simply a thin I-beam tie rather than a tubular support.

    the only suggestion i have is to remove the path where the coaster's support touches the ground, and put a planter there or something.
    could spruce up the paths a little, since they seem a little blase and would break up the monotony of them.

    other than that, i'm in love with this as i usually am.

    Except for the Transfer track, which is unrealistic for a B&M and the already mentioned Supports, I really like it!

    Oh, and what's with those peeps?

    It's a shame this picture is a little blurry, but here's a good transfer track example.

    http://rcdb.com/ig1500.htm?picture=13

    Basically your ride should flow into the station naturally without any S-bends or whatever. One section as long as the train should be able to slide horizontally along the transfer table mating with space for the number of trains you have (although you can just use 2 for 3 trains-- it's been done both ways).

    ^He's just saying you have the right idea for the staircase, but you didn't make it look good. Just make the stair case connect instead of having a gap and you should be good to go.
