A coaster I've been working on between classes, or whenever I find time.

Banshee is a Vekoma Launched Boomerang (VLB) coaster that takes riders through 3 inversions forwards and backwards. The 28 passenger trains are launched to a speed of 50mph before being flipped head over heels through an Half Loop, Loop, and an inline twist. Trains are then taken up the 142ft vertical spike before doing all over again backwards.

Screen shots can be seen at the link posted above.
The track is entirely hand made (mostly due to the fact I was too lazy to use Elementary this time; this coaster was really just for fun) and pretty much completed. Right now I'm working on supports and deciding if I should actually flange them or not.
I'll probably end up adding some 3Ds and maybe some environment to it once thats all done.

Any comments?

^ Wildefyre, you can't name it Banshee as religious groups will protest making you name it after an insect that after it mates the female eats the male, leaving the poor kids without a father figure and twice as likely to drop out of school do drugs and end up in prison...

Thanks for the comments.
Support work is done and I'm currently working on a custom station, I may tweak a little bit of track though.
I've also added a little terraforming just to get an idea of what I want the final product to look like.

Haven't worked on the ride in awhile, but I got back into it today by starting the custom station. The train makes a nice fly-by through the roof of the station for all the waiting guests to see.
