It looks really promising, just be sure that you don't release it prematurely and that the tech-side of the coaster isn't that great.

hyyyper's right ([:O]), Vekoma's don't have top supports on halfloops, as you can see on Millennium Roller Coaster and Ninja:

To be more precise it is not typical of Vekoma's sit down coasters but for inverted.I just added this support to reinforce the structure.Trains run inside a building and this seemed to be more realistic.
Here 2 photos(1 with that support and 1 without)...tell me what is better....thanx!

the 2nd is better, you should support it on the rear side

Hyyyper the rear part is hidden in the building....I tried but the result is horrible!
So I think this is my definite choice....

imo, you need a different environment. i hate dark environments. this isnt too too dark, but its still waaay too dark for my taste. Make a brighter environment while still keeping the theme. challenging.....
X2 ??? Intimidator 305 ??? Millennium Force ??? Iron Rattler ??? El Toro ??? Fury 325 ??? Maverick ??? Skyrush ??? Twisted Timbers ??? Voyage

I'd maybe suggest that you make the specular lighting less pink and more yellow, so it'll match better with the other colours. Escpecially on the supports, I think it clashes a bit too much.

you really should have made flowers that stood up instead of a flower texture
