Ridiculous Coaster Trains

[Gavin]

I could have shoved these in the "Weird and Wacky" topic, and there are some old "favourite" and "least favourite" train topics, but I thought I'd separate it. By "ridiculous", I don't mean comfortable/uncomfortable etc., but more the stuff that gets shoved on the front of trains.

Here are a few I've seen recently:

Penguin Coaster - Chimelong Ocean Kingdom

Yeah it's a park character, but it looks less like a penguin and more like Donald Trump.

Puppy Coaster - Fantawild Asian Legend

Children Coaster - Happy World

Very appealing for the young 'uns.

My first thought when seeing the Cú Chulainn train was "constipated He Man"

Clearly smug Trump-penguin is the best/worst, but Rowdy on his Fantastic Coaster appears to be some sort of stunned/deformed crocodile thing;

And for pure impracticability, the "box" on the front of this also springs to mind;

Djurs Sommarland definitely qualify with "fox about to murder a chicken"

The bear train on Invadr is just plain silly. Struggled to find a good picture, but these two get the message across.

Nothing quite as crazy as the others, but I do love the Soaring with Dragon trains, which are wonderfully over-the-top:

Also love this one from Norway. Both zero-car and last car have some extravagant detail:

I'm surprised the trains for Plohseidon at Freizeitpark Plohn haven't been mentioned yet, they are definitely some of the strangest trains out there.

Boxes should clearly go at the back.

With gorillas up front.

 

[KommissarLT]

Any "bootleg" or knock-off trains.

As you can see here, this train has an uncanny resemblance to Blue from Blue's Clues.

How about Animal coaster; a rare surviving wooden wild mouse coaster:

The cars were seamlessly rethemed from cars to animals... only they are still car-shaped!

How about KIA Motors train of El Toro?

I'll just leave this here. https://rcdb.com/8977.htm Bye now.

This is unfortunate. Probably very innocently done, but it does look like blackface from the front.

Looks like something I would do.
