Weirdest ride supports

[Matt N]

Hi guys. A post made in the thread for Ride to Happiness at Plopsaland (post in question: https://coasterforce.com/forums/thr...reme-spinning-coaster-2021.43780/post-1103724) made me think; what are some of the weirdest ride supports you’ve ever seen?

I haven’t currently got any ideas besides the aforementioned supports on Ride to Happiness, but what are some of your weirdest ride supports you’ve ever seen?

 

[Hixee]

There are some great examples out there, and I can't wait to see them posted, but Great Bear will always be the first thing I think of here:

Gerstlauer... Do I need to say more? Gerstlauer supports are always crazy, big and exaggerated But the one between the tracks of Fury @Bobbejaanland is the weirdest support I've ever seen.

That thing at Fury (Bobbejaanland)
Edit: I was looking for my own picture and lost the race.

I remember seeing this in a Cheetah hunt POV a while back, I thought I was seeing things, guess they did not need to make a connection there

Surprised no one's immediately jumped on this beastly bad boi yet, has to be the thicccest support around surely

You can tell B&M went back to Hershey multiple times with Great Bear like "Right up to the water? But not in it? But we can go RIGHT up to the edge? What about in a little bit at the edge?"

Are we just doing brand new supports or modified ones? Because the re-done/corrected ones on Big One are pretty cool
After they realised a square turnaround into the sea wind probably wasn't the best idea

And then a little bit of re-profiling

The new Intamin launced at Happy Valley Nanjing has an interesting baby support. Very Geurst like


But perhaps my favourite supports of all time are the ones from Roller Coaster at Zorky's Planet in Romania. Which are designed to look like trees holding up the coaster.

Gerst very prominent here, possibly their best/over supported coaster in the world?

I think Karnan is a great coaster, but it looks absolutely ****ing disgusting. I find it hilarious how bad it looks.

Karnan is fab but yeah it's support lattice is definitely a desired taste...
Condor's new sliced support's (Millennium Force aswell) are weird to a degree

It looks like my K'nex supports, or anything S&S have made! You can tell it is/was the limits of their technology.

Ummm isn't this that ?

Weird, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

Ever noticed something out of the ordinary about a coaster? Whether it's a part of a train, track, support, queue, station or some other bit of uniqueness - this is the place to post it for others to see & discuss. I'll start it off with one of my favorite all-time supports found on Great Bear...

Hopkins... *sigh*

 

[JoshC.]

It's not particularly weird, but I've always found the kink in Swarm's enveloped supports for the inline twist...quirky?

 

[VonRolland]

Alway's kinda amazed me for how old the coaster is, looks like a RMC Zero G Stall

 

[CSLKennyNI]

F.L.Y. has this funky support which holds two track parts; one of which is underneath the level of the footers.
Get yourself a support that can do both.

Doublepost but this warrants it.

Absolutely vile. All 3, 3 different realms of cursed.


Abominations, even.
