Weird, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

[s15c]

Ok, thanks. As said, I don't usually look at the wheels and wouldn't know about it.

^Sometimes they can do it the other way around, and have the "zero car" at the back of the train:

It is very common.

This coaster has some pretty strange banking:

Ha, looks like RCT.

Excessive use of catwalks there.

Any topic with lists is good for me, but the weird and wired is right down my alley.
These are my strange looking credits:
Great Bear
Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit
Pteranodon Flyers
Superman Krypton Coaster
X-Coaster

One that I should be riding this summer is called a coaster, but I am not sure about that.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Riverside Cyclone's drop. Not only does it have a strange turn half way through, but you can see the old track below it:

Found on RCDB.

Every turn on Texas Giant. It just seems so unnatural and Sim Theme Park-ish to me.

Knock-off Superman anyone?

Surprisingly, it never opened.

Those seats look comfy.
That thing has DEATH written all over it! :shock:

 

[Tomatron]

The short run-up to the massive vertical bit makes think that a computer wasn't invovled in the design. It's a perfect L shape! :lol:

B&Ms inspiration for SheiKra!

OMG I've seen that Asian rip-off of Superman and it does look like death haha. I say it would go like halfway up the tower, at best. But seriously, why the heck did they build it and never bother to open it? Was the park a dud or was it deemed unsafe (with good reason it should seem)?

 

[jjjjustin]

:shock: Even the wheel assembly!

The park's open with all the other rides running. Everything there is homemade, and their other coaster is absolutely horrible. It uses the exact same cars that the Superman ripoff has. Their shot tower is amazing though!

A few more pictures from the park:

 

[Lofty]

Ha. Slalom looks dire. Does it ride as bad as it looks?!

 

[Gavin]

^Yes would be the basic answer.

It's pay-per-ride, but the ride ops asked me if I wanted to stay on for a free second ride. I said no.

I stayed on for a few free extra goes on the shot tower though. The ride ops there were fab; they just kept taking it in turns to ride with me, leaving the restraints as loose as possible.
