I think this has been suggested before but I really want to reiterate. We need, need, need (optional) custom support placement.
For those who just want to build a coaster, they don't have to do a thing, supports will auto generate. But if you're someone like me who doesn't want to see hovering track, this is a must have.
Have a building below your coaster track? Attach a support manually to the roof! Path in the way, with nothing beside the path? Attach a support diagonally down to the empty area beside it!
For situations where the support doesn't go directly down we'll probably need it to automatically detect that and change the type of support so it doesn't look unrealistic.
Perhaps we could also attach supports to ceilings if we're running a coaster through a building that has paths on the floor (or other reasons the supports can't go straight down)?
I'm not sure how placing custom supports would work but as it would be entirely optional, having it be slightly complicated so you can do more with it wouldn't be so bad, right?
Maybe custom support placement could allow you to place it anywhere. Just bordering on the inside of a flat ride, as long as the support tube doesn't collide with the ride itself, of course.
On the inner edges of paths? Queues, if they're wide enough? Basically anywhere it wouldn't get in the way of guests.
Even into foliage. Maybe not trees, for obvious reasons.
Going even further you might want duelling coasters. Maybe one of them removes the supports of the other. Perhaps in that situation you could attach the supports of one coaster to the supports of another?
I understand why some people might be against it but if it's entirely optional and doesn't affect the auto generation of supports in any way, I think it'd be fine.
What does everyone else think?
