This photo shows the basic three basic components of roller coaster foundations. The slab at the base, known as a "pile cap", is heavily reinforced and connects with "piles" that extend many metres below the surface. The yellow rebar fixture on the right will be placed within the rebar that extends from the pile cap and the entire column filled with concrete. All but this column will then be covered over with dirt.
