El Dragón del Verano - six inversion Floorless Speed Coaster

I haven't made or released an NL coaster since Project III (nearly 2 months ago), so this is like a "comeback" coaster for me. Anyways, this is called "El Dragón del Verano"(The Dragon of Summer), a B&M Floorless Speed Coaster with over a mile of track. Its name is in spanish because IMO it looked and sounded nicer. Here's the story (it's kind of weird):

Long ago, there were four dragons for the four seasons: Invierno, Primavera, Verano, and Otoño. All four of the dragons were very powerful and controlled the world. However, El Dragón del Verano was the largest, standing at 215 ft above the ground. It made the long summer days and used its warmth to make sure summer was a fun experience, while at the same time used its heat to make things intense.

G-Force Generation and B&M are now bringing out El Dragón del Verano in coaster form. Feel the magic of its 209 ft twisted drop, six inversions, and air time.

Feedback is appreciated!
Enjoy your ride!

Wow! What a great ride! It was a very nice layout that was fast and furious. I also enjoyed the variety of elements and the color scheme was great. But there were a few pretty rough/sudden transitions and one point where the g-forces went into the red zone. Otherwise it was amazing and I give it a 91/100. If you fix some of the transitions then it will be even better.

Wow! That was a very nice coaster. Very good pacing and elements, pretty good layout, and of course it's smoooth! The overbanked turn, double-up, and double-down are things you don't normally see on a B&M floorless, but they made the ride more interesting and original. Nice job!

Mostly smooth, though some transitions need work. (especially upon exiting the MCBR. the drop is too adrupt)

Woah, this thing was sweet!!! The G's in the first half were a touch weak, but it had enough surprises to make up for it. The second half was insane, great speed and g's. Excelent coaster.

Awesome coaster....one that I would actually like to see built. Dunno about that hill going into the final brake run. Looks like it may be a little uncomfortable. 95/100

Sounds great. I wish I had NL. I am going to go with everyone else, since I have not seen it, and say great coaster. It's good you didn't go overboard with inversions.

That was cool. The brake run at the end seemed a little bit banked in the beginning.

That's one of my favorite NL coasters. Love the track colors.
