Wooden beams wouldn’t go into the concrete as that would be problematic. Some do have metal brackets attached to the wood but not all of them. With the lattice structure of wooden coasters the sheer number of points it contacts the ground (and more importantly the frequency) make it unneeded that they all attach. This is especially true with the older coasters that don’t have the forces that some newer wooden coasters might have.

So happy to see the Cheetah Hunt love. I so much enjoy that coaster… It might not be in my top 10 but it’s such an experience.

Top Thrill Dragster was in my top 10 but I removed it since it’s now defunct 😢

Here’s a video that was passed along to me a well

It looks like even the favorite button carries over as well. This is the internet the world deserves.
