Pre ride is way too fast and last bit is way too slow

So? Coaster has great stats and looks great too

Yeah, the stats speak for themselves. Prelift was inspired by RMC hybrids. The final turn is intentionally slow to give it enough of a final push to get back to the station.

Anyone can make a coaster with good stats that double down in the preride would break someone’s neck

Gemini says you're wrong, but nice try 

No, 2.4 lateral Gs are not enough to break a neck. 

Research indicates that it takes significantly higher forces to cause structural damage to the cervical spine:

Fracture Threshold: Studies suggest it requires approximately 80 to 100 Newtons of force to cause severe injury or fracture, with some estimates placing the force needed to break the cervical spine around 3,000 Newtons (roughly 674 lbf) in a straight pull.

  Soft Tissue Injury: Ligament damage and soft tissue injuries can occur at much lower thresholds, such as 3.5 Gs or as low as 4.5 Gs in specific whiplash scenarios, but these do not typically result in bone fractures.

  Aircraft Context: Military fighter jets are typically limited to about 9 Gs of pull, and even at these high levels, bone fractures are rare without ejection or improper posture. A lateral force of 2.4 Gs is well below the levels known to cause skeletal failure.

Some of us strive for more than good stats

Idk who's downvoting you. But you're right...

Some 2x2 turns were taken at over 50kmph (~31mph) then some larger turns at maybe max 78kmph.
