Odd looking supports

How about this one?

[deathbydinn]

BUMP!!

 

Say hello to ghetto supports.

 

Oh lord, what coaster is that?!

[HappyEisentrout]

^^I would say that those supports are themeing as well as support.

 

Also, I believe that Michigan's Adventure's Corkscrew was Arrow's first corkscrew model to have those supports for the corkscrews instead of arch type supports.

I've always thought RMT@SFGadv's random wooden supports looked weird

 

This is from GAH:

[coasterbill]

I actually always liked those lol

[johncolon91]

I think RMT's supports are weird as well but I think it would look weirder with all steel supports in that particular section of the park.

^ Agreed, with the color track and wood supports, it just kinda blends in with the natural scenery and doesn't look all gaudy and outlandish.

The famous Great Bear support!

The one with footers on both sides of the lake is strange too.

The Great Nor'easter - Morey's Piers Wildwood, NJ

 

The supports are strange because its built over 2 waterslides and a log flume.

^I was hoping someone would post that! The Nor-Easter has some of the STRANGEST supports I've seen.

 

Gotta give it to Wildwood though, they did quite well with how they constructed a huge Vekoma invert above 3 different rides.

 

 

It also provides some SICK leg-chopper effects.

^That second one looks EXACTLY like Space Mountain's layout...

 

 

 

 

Joker's Jinx, along with the other "Crazy Cobra" coasters sport these strange supports.

[nitro4ever]

Look at the support thats partially hidden behind the trees, it has a footer on each side of the stream.

Is it just me or is that streetlight attached to the support?

That picture speaks for its self.

Is it just me or is that streetlight attached to the support?

 

Uhh it looks like the streetlight and supports are two totally different entities to me...

I don't know what coaster this is but I found it on google.

i found this support on the Matterhornblitz in EuropaPark very odd looking:

and the old EuroStar, had many intresting looking too:

[coffguy]

Just a few leg choppers there...

[nitro4ever]

The supports there are so bizarre-o

[CoasterStreak]

I always thought the 4th Dimension coasters (X2 and Eejanaika) had super odd supports. I know its because of the different train type, but they are still strange.

The "new" version of the outside raven turn supports.

1. the inside raven turn has extra brackets on the outside of the back support. (top left) 2. the "old" outside raven turn supports. 3. the funky supports right before the final brake in the right side of the pic, half way up .

[tiger01]

Rage has a funny looking support right before the second inversion. Never noticed it before before I looked on Rcdb.com

Here is the link.

 

And it seems that Adventure Island has named it's new Kiddi Koasta!

Great Bear's supports are weird because Hersheypark didn't want the coaster's supports to interfere with the stream that runs under the gaggle of coasters (and Coal Cracker).

^ anybody know why intamin chose to use their square supports and tubular supports so interchangably on cheetah hunt? Was there any rhyme or reason to where they used one or another?
