I don't think big rollercoasters like this translate well into RCT. Especially the transitions between flat track and hill doesn't work, with the weird kinks.
Yea the kinks are a problem so I will try to make a own that hopefully is good
It's way too large! It should be less tall, which also means you can get rid of all the straight track and other stretched bits to allow for a more flowing layout.
Well I wanted to go for the real height ~49 meters
Problem is that the scale of RCT does not equal that of real life, so 49 meters in the world is much taller than 49m in RCT. Your best bet is to build it in scale with (or slightly larger than) a RCT peep.
Someone should do the math on this topic

Yeah I tried this layout (see profile for download), it's pretty tough. Interesting take though. It's frustrating when layouts don't fit in RCT's grid!
Don't give up though, keep making your favorite rides, some work, some don't.
Doing some math here, its about 165 ft. tall. That's way too tall for a ride like that. Something more like 130 ft. tall is closer - still some size but you don't need any more wonky transitions. A hint on the transitions, try to go for more of a Texas Giant type transitions than anything else.
Also, don't use cheats while building the ride - it can help solve intensity issues before you ever finish the ride.
there is no flow in the coaster, whatsoever, listen to liam and nin and just scale it down... try to make the transition from element to element smooth and not as stretched like so of the parts are, a good layout doesn't look forced and is always logical even when you're doing something unexpected. and try to avoid turning in the same direction too often, that becomes boring after a few turns...
