Wow. These pictures really make it look like the ride is built in random a field in the middle of nowhere.

^ Compared to how wonderfully themed (or rather landscaped) their Schwarzkopf is, I'd say this one looks rather bland. Like Pokemaniac said, it does kind of look as it was plonked on a field in the middle of nowhere.

That's Because it is basically set in a field
I wonder why there are so many poles sticking up from the high points of the ride.

Lightning rods maybe? Takabisha has a few as well - http://rcdb.com/9795.htm?p=35832

The other thought I did have, before reading CanobieFan's reply, was that maybe they're left over from the construction and they're clearance markers. When they're craning the pieces of track into place these pieces would mark the closest the crane's payload should be allowed to get? Just another thought really, although I have a feeling the lightening rods are more likely.
This seems like the most likely answer.CanobieFan said:

I support the lightning rod hypothesis. Hixee's second hypothesis makes sense too, but there are those thin, curved rods (thick wires?) that go from the rods themselves to the support structure, that don't seem to offer any kind of structural importance. They would make fine electrical conductors, though.
