This map is severely overscaled. I timed myself pushing the cart from start to finish at x1 speed and compared it against the push times for all official maps, and found that the total push time for this single stage map beats out Thunder Mountain in its entirety:

upload_2021-5-9_20-23-38.png

(Note: Hellstone has a slow cart, so it takes longer to push despite being a decently sized map.)

Even if you cut the map in half, it would still be longer than any other single stage payload map in the game. There's some good gameplay ideas in this map and I can tell you've put a lot of work in, but unfortunately I think you've still got a lot of work ahead of you to get this map to a more reasonable size.
