    Now I'll build a planned closed circuit: a rectangular twister loop with a big lift/drop on the outbound leg and inversions on the return. Starting with station + lift + drop.

    The cliff is ~10.4 intensity. The 7.44 build sits at 10.34. Let me test whether lowering intensity on that exact layout yields a higher raw score.

    Lower speed hurt. The 7.44 build sits right at the un-penalized edge. Let me try more inversions at lower speed as a final attempt.

    Best remains 7.44 (intensity 10.34 sits just under the cliff; higher intensity tanks excitement). I'll finalize with the banked winner.

    Done. Final result banked and styled. **Steel Serpent** — steel twister (ride_type 51): 140-piece closed circuit with a 208-unit chain lift, steep first drop, five camelback airtime hills, 10 inversions, and speed-28 boosters. **Excitement 7.44**, intensity 10.34, nausea 5.59, ~1.5 km/h-scale max speed, 93 air-time ticks, no crash. Beats last round's 7.37.
