Scaffolding & rails

Scaffolding is support structures that serve to maintain and stabilize roller coaster rails. They are crucial to ensuring passenger safety by ensuring that the tracks remain securely anchored and in place during the operation of the roller coaster. Scaffolding is designed to withstand the dynamic forces generated by moving roller coaster trains, such as gravitational forces, friction forces, and torsional forces.

Additionally, scaffolding can provide support for decorative elements or theming that may be integrated into the roller coaster layout to enhance the passenger experience.

In summary, roller coaster scaffolding is essential for ensuring the stability, safety, and overall aesthetic of the attraction. In Coaster Island, the scaffolding creates the impression of a collision, thus enhancing the thrills provided by the ride.
