Looking like a really cool project! Can't wait to see it!

I've never understood why people paint all the terrain under the track with rock or whatever, when they build the thing they're not going to dig it all out?

Layout looks decent though, very much a hybrid of a couple of B&Ms :]

Nice design. It's simplistic but looks like a lot of fun

Love the turn around

Going to be honest about the rock, i did it for a shoot path for my layout and have not taken it off yet Full station and scenery to be added yet Thanks for the comments people, a really warm welcome to the forum

Loving that downwards helix/spiral thing!

The layout looks pretty solid... the only thing is the shaping of the hills are off, as well as the crest of the drop. If you're going for realism, you might want to look into properly shaping the elements. Depending on what 'era/generation' of B&M you're going for, the shaping will different; for example, Nitro vs Shambhala... Judging by the trains being used on this coaster, I'm going to assume you're going for more of a newer generation B&M hyper.

Old Gen. B&M hyper coasters have a more drawn out hill, with more of a rounded crest...

Whereas new gen. B&M hyper coasters have more of a "pointed" crest...

As for the crest of the lift...
NEW...

OLD

Hope this helps!

Looking great so far! Welcome to the forum

^^ Generally new B&M hypers are much steeper than the old ones leading into and out of the airtime hills (I'd say about 45?????? on old, 60?????? on new). As for the drops, the shaping is more or less the same between the old and new drops, it's just the drops on the new ones seem to leave it a lot later to begin pulling up, while the old ones have a much longer, gradual change into the pull up.
