Treetop Explorer

This would be the world's longest suspended/inverted roller coaster. Suspended in pairs below the track, riders will go on a twisting, looping adventure through the jungle, traveling over 7,471 feet (2,277 meters) of track and going upside down 5 times! The coaster also features 2 lifts (135 and 122 feet tall) and plenty of foot-choppers and tunnels! Though this is not quite as realistic as my other coasters (mostly because of the length and the low capacity), the G's never go into the red (well, maybe once) and I made at least some effort to make it smooth. The first half of the ride twists and loops its way through (and over) the forest at a leisurely pace, and the second half is faster and more intense. Have fun! Please comment!

Here's a screenshot of part of the ride

I used more custom supports than usual for this one, mostly for cages and fences and stuff that (is supposed to) add to the "jungle" feel

And here's another pic

As you can see, each train has 5 cars which can carry 2 people each. There are only 3 trains, so the capacity would be kind of low... but you don't care about that, right?

New rating system...

5/10=average

smoothness=10/10(good job here)
g-forces=3/10(the postiives were weak, except for the vertical loop)
speed=6/10(a bit slow in spots, but pretty quick for the most part)
supports-10/10(they supported it properly, that's what counts)
rideability-2/10(your laterals were way too high in one of the barrel rolls.)

therefore your overall rating is-6.2
slightly above average.

Try to add more positive G's, and make the barrel roll pull less lateral G's, and it would be far superior.
