Thanks for the pointers! I decided to go with the traditional chainlift because I liked the idea of watching yourself ascend the tower from the outside, but in hindsight I could have made it go through the tower with the lift and be more magical that way. Thanks as always for the feedback!

This has a playful design that's charming. I really like the creativity in this build and the experimental use of shapes to construct off grid. My suggestion would be to reduce the empty spaces. The spinning coaster is unique with the elevator lift, which is perfect for block brake placements as well as making the coaster more compact. Great job and looking forward to seeing your next!
