I like these supports:

And these supports:

 

Anything that looks like it can't hold up the structure. I like how almost the top 50% of B&M loops are completely unsupported.

I think someone mentioned it like 3-4 pages back, but Mamba's supports in the helix are AWESOME!

 

I am also fond of Gerstlauer spinning coaster supports.... sweet!

Time to whip the dust of this thread

 

I like the supports of Vertigo and the tower-supports of the GIB's.

So I'm gonna have to agree with my man Real. His post automatically makes more sense than anyone elses, just because there are hotties in it. Yay for hotties.

Just a question... but does anyone here think that Intamin sometimes over supports some parts of their rides. If these massive structures are really necessary than my comment will be taken back... but it seems that B&M can do what Intamin does in less than half the supports.

 

I love the way they all look... just they seem a bit crowded.

Maybe sometimes. But more often, I've noticed their rides being under supported and requiring modifications.

 

Just off the top of my head, the following Intamin coasters have had extra supports added after they opened:

Wicked Twister

All regular impulses

Xcelerator

Goliath at Walibi Belgium

American Eagle

Yes, but didn't most of those feature large sections of unsupported and potentially and often always wobbly track?

 

On the other hand, B&M track is much sturdier than Intamin track (to most extent), and their supports are bigger and thicker, while Intamin's supports are fairly flimsy and require a lot more to do the same job.
