This is satire okay

Made this woody, what could I improve?

I built a platform modelled of the deep level stations on the southern end of the Northern Line. This is like Kennington to South Wimbledon.

So, I have a few weeks experience with the Advanced Editor, and I wanted to create this. I’m unsure how much it cost, I think between 60-90,000? It was initially going to be a remake of The Smiler, up until the first loop where I kind of ran out of space and just decided to do a freestyle instead. The block brakes section (second) is quite rough, which I am going to work on in a bit, but I’m hoping this is okay. Constructive criticism on how to build my coasters is appreciated, and I can always post more of my coasters!

Inversions count: 11

41 Passengers * $32 To Ride = $1,312 in a matter of seconds. This ride gets a high number on the graph, however if you include oppurtunity costs: (1/4 of my guests are on a roller coaster for 15 minutes, my theme park as a whole earns ~$45,000 / 15 Minutes), I lose about $10,000 worth of customers each time this roller coaster runs. Imma comment the maximum I can get from this ride at once, as the customers still say it's underpriced at $32/ride.

There is still some lighting missing on the left side.

I tried to use the dedicated paint tool, but I still have to click each little part individually, is there a way where I can box select the items and be able to change all of their colors at once?

Park photo on first slide because it's sort of related to the game, and you can see two coasters running fine together without conflict.

Does anyone know how the coaster technology works in TPT2? I am not asking for general coaster information, I'm not looking to make a competitor game, but rather a train system with similar tech (slides 2-6). I know that the coaster cars are not unanchored since I've made blenders for fun, and they always stay on the track.

So far, I've been working with a scripter who's been able to use a tween system (see Slide 6), but the game can handle only one track that can occupy only one train. If a second train is added, then it just follows the same path at the same time, glitching inside the first train. He said that he could try scripting the game to be able to hold multiple tracks, but it would generate a ton of server lag. However, I've played TPT2 since around 2018, and I know the game can handle a lot of stress as I've made blender parks before. This is really what I'm asking:

1: Does TPT2 use a similar tween system with nodes? If not, what movement tech does it use?

2: How can TPT2 handle multiple coasters in the same park without conflict? Also, how can it be able to hold multiple trains on the same track? Yes, I know how block sections work, but I'm asking Roblox-wise.

3: How does the game barely lag in full servers? I guess that the roller coaster trains themselves are pretty primitive, like 50 parts max and each train car for my game is around 150 parts (300-600 per train.) However, the game can run somewhat smooth in a full server with easily 70-ish coasters.

(Bonus) 4: How do the coasters stay synced on different clients? For example, when you go to someone else's park, it will load in the rides, and the train will be on the same part of the layout on your client and the other person's client. You can leave the park and it'll unload, then you can go back and it will load & stay synced.

Would be great to get a response from someone knowledgeable, or hell, maybe even a developer/contributor.

So i've been working on this project for a while now and i've finally finished the entrance/plaza area. I have a video showcasing it as a teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8tJ9c2RKc4 . I'm always open for suggestions so feel free to give some ideas for the main park! Thank you.
