Correct. Coaster supports are designed to give/sway slightly under pressure to keep stress to a minimum. Rigidity + Stress = Things Breaking Apart.
So coaster supports don’t interact significantly with other structures (like buildings), because the stress would then be distributed to the building, which would likely crack.
that makes sense, although maybe other large show elements are attached, which is why it needed to be enclosed first?
