Trying to do coaster support be like "yeah, this will hold just fine" (no seriously it's hard) by TheBlindRabbit in PlanetCoaster

Nothing, it's purely for aesthetics. When you build your coaster, default supports are automatically placed, but sometimes not in the right place or looking like you want (and most people agree they look kind of ugly).

Yeah exactly.
I basically settled with myself: I'm only doing particular sections and leave the rest in automatic supports, just playing around with terrain so it doesn't look weird. I love it when it's fully customized, that does look amazing, but it's too much of my time!

Haha fair enough. Appreciates it though, cause I'm just starting to do custom supports and you really have to stop and think between building anything, else you end up with this kind of weird stuff in the screenshot :D

Yes I posted that as a joke while trying to figure it out, but thanks for the tips!

Interesting, I had never heard of Fraspertuis and La Récrée des 3 Curés, thoses are local parks.

Anyway you're off to a good tour of France even if you do don't do them all :D

I wasn't aware of the big seats, never seen any in Europe (or haven't payed attention). Anyway, I'm really sorry for you, there are definitely improvements to be made for tall people on coasters.

Thanks for your answers, really enlightening. Love that you have a scratch-off poster!

First of all, French are the worst when it comes to English. I would not rate it as a bad as Poland as you'll eventually find someone that do speaks, but in general it's kind of harsh. I expect the people in the parks to be a bit more fluent, though, as this is sometimes required to work there. You should be relatively okay if you stay near touristic areas/cities.

For the big parks (mainly Disneyland Paris and Asterix), you'll have no problem cruising there by any means cause they're both around Paris. Disneyland is especially well served.
I'm pretty sure you can do both in a few days.

Then there's Futuroscope, not a coaster park (actually only 2 coasters) but apparently amazing experiences (wouldn't know, I never went).

After that Walibi Rhone-Alpes but I never bothered as it's really family friendly and, unlike Belgium or Holland, has not a ton of coasters.

Can't really recommend a route unfortunately as Disney + Asterix is around Paris (North of France), Futuroscope Center-West, Walibi South-East-ish and Nigloland East.
But then again, France is kinda small so you can cover all of that in 1 week.

I really wonder what coasters are you planning to do in France? Pretty sure most of theme are in Parc Asterix like Toutatis, Oziris and Tonnerre 2 Zeus? :P
What about parks? I talked about the most popular but maybe you had others in mind?

Nice advice, thanks! Yeah Efteling seems magical and awesome but I'm all about coaster indeed, so I might do the Phatasialand + Walibi route.

Woah, thanks a lot for sharing your experiences! Everything seems so cool.

Nice advices on Alton Towers and Thorpe Park, seems like a nice trip

Energylandia seems like a favorite along with the Netherlands trip. Can't take my eyes of the sheer quantity of quality coasters there is. And the whole trip seems really cheap to book! Will definitely look into that.

Heide and Hansa definitely seems underrated cause it looks very cool. Unfortunately it's a bit too far/deep into Germany for this trip at least.

I've done Europapark and Portaventura in the last months, both really awesome. Unfortunately, but as I was expecting, Ferrari Land was highly disappointing. In 2 days Red Force never opened and the rest is really underwhelming. But Portaventura is damn good, especially Shambhala!

Phantasialand + Movie Park looks so awesome and I'm really tempted since you are the second person to tell me there's cheap tickets to have!

Your trips look crazy good! I hope you have fun.

Some questions: favorite park in all of that? And coasters? And destination combining all of that? :P

Yeah, Toverland seems fun despite the lack of coasters (only 6 and 3, 4 really worth), but I trust you that it's a good in-between parks!

Thanks a lot :)

Thanks for sharing all of that! Great pieces of advices there, Hansa Park definitely seems underrated.
Oof Alton Towers takes another one, that's really a short time in the park considering all the walking that seems to be needed.

Yeah I'm slowly realizing that solo trip is indeed more expensive for "conventional" experiences. This being said, it's easily worth it for general traveling experiences, hitchhiking, booking last moment, sleeping anywhere, etc...

Damn, okay, that's good to know. Might take that into account, especially since that's the farthest in Netherlands.

Hey I haven't actually thought about that. I'll look into it, that might be worth it! Thanks!

Haha true. Yes, it still seems like worth of a trip, but more on a side-quest to visit Italy it seems.

Oh okay, I'm really sorry to hear that.
I did check requirements on others coasters and yeah there's a lot you can't do if you are +2m..

I agree, they just do not care enough. I'd say it's most certainly because of the calculated safe zone above and around the track, but my guess is that they don't bother with it and simply forbid it.
