Weird, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

This, I've only just saw it, the block type thing around the person's chest.

While it's not as laughably bad as most of the examples posted here, I've always thought the entries into Corkscrews on many Arrow/Vekoma coasters are banked very oddly, like they're way overbanked before even entering the element. I'm sure many people know what I'm talking about. I had an image to show it better, but I can't post images yet (for understandable reasons).

I know what you mean X, Carolina Cyclone and Anaconda are perfect examples.

 

[Lofty]

I know this is not a coaster. But WTF?!

 

[Hixee]

That cannot be comfortable to ride...

 

[Martyn B]

That is just wrong.

And is that the worlds first helix on a log flume I see? :shock:

 

[Ben]

^^ The "Adventure Cruise" side of Twin Mercury at Space World (Japan) have a banked helix that is taken with speed.

 

[Ben]

Oh. France. OK, forget it then, I'm not going to that dump even if that does look AMAZE.

Incredibly painful loop.

EDIT: The picture works now. - Hixee

WTF are those lift supports.

Edit - Hope you don't mind the photo addition Bottom_Feeder_13 - ECG

^ While it is strange. I'd just class that as theming tbh. You can clearly see it's a Dinosaur!

 

[Hixee]

^What's stranger is the man in the bathing suit stood on the dragon's head. :?

^^^ That's not the lift supports, it's the first hill.
It looks really cool though...

That photo has so much wrong with it. What's already been pointed out and the fact that a path at an amusement park is EMPTY! GASP.

But is anyone else wondering why there is blue, red, and yellow track? And where the yellow track in the corner is going to or coming from?

Does that answer your question?

 

[Bottom_Feeder_13]

^ This is a much better picture of the supports.

 

[Hixee]

^All of that structure isn't the supports. It's all just extra. If you look closely you can see the first two main track supports quite clearly, the others are difficult to spot due to the density of the surrounding metal.

Going back to weird water rides this Splash Boat thing in Taiwan is just fab with its little coaster SECTION at the top of the first lift hill <3
