Here is an update! I've made the drop and loop, as well as a curve and the lift. Originally, I planned to have interlocking vekom corkscrews coming after it, but the train going through the corkscrew didn't seem fit for another corkscrew. Plus, it would be in the 'lie' position for too long. The ride is almost done!
Here are some pictures! ------------------- Drop with loop:
Again, but a closer view of the pullout.
Loop (obviously).
Curve.
Hill. You've got to love it.
Overview!
Dramatic view!
A video of the train going through it!
An update within an update! How often does that happen?
The corkscrew still needs work. Here are some pictures and a video. -----------------
Give me comments or give me criticizes!
It would be kinda funny if someone was like "The radius of the drop needs to be bigger" and then I make it bigger and so then that person would say "Still too small" and so I make it even bigger and then the person says "Kidding, it was OK the usual way." It's like I would do all that extra work for nothing. Ha ha.
I love the layout so far. Firehawk is a favorite of mine in KI, but the line is always so long, mainly because of the horrible capacity of the ride. This model looks great, though, keep up the good work!
OH NOES! YOU COMMENTED! BAD! Just Kidding. Aww, I like circular loops but I'll see if I can fix it. I can't make the loop much bigger or else the train won't make it through.

Thank you very much! ----------------
Update! The coaster is finished, using 5,678 pieces. I will film the final video tomorrow and tear the coaster down. Here are some pictures.
I know this isn't the coaster, but you must admit this is awesome. I threw a chain link, and this is how it landed! One time I threw a sharpened pencil led, and it landed like the chain link but on the sharp tip!
Can you tell the difference between these two photos? (besides the brightness change)
Time to get serious. Here is the vekoma corkscrew (which I must admit is easier to do than other types)
My most overused element: The overbank turn!
The brakerun... or should I say the second lift hill?
The "most supported" part of the ride!
The scary wasp looking at you through the station.
The Wasp is looking very scary, you may want to look away now .
The amazing drop!
This thing.
I fixed the loop! Hope you like the way it is because it's in its final shape.
I believe we've seen this picture before. Or have we?
The pre-lift and lie-to fly transition
Awesome picture.
Onride view of lift!
Right before the drop leading to the loop, this is what it looks like onride.
The curve.
Dramatic view.
Wasp Animatronic in action.
Coaster in action. Don't worry, I fixed the brakerun.
