... just so happens to have a heavily wooded plot which just opened up :wink: We had a good wooden coaster, it didn’t age well and they added a trim brake to her.

... decent, then you speed off and head up and around the far turn around. The next set of three airtime hills before the mid-course brakes all had trim brakes, but none of them were on or hitting at this point. There was decent airtime over every hill. And then you pop up into the brake run before ...

TBH I really enjoy Hurler and would rather just have the trim brakes removed and the retracking complete and get a Gold Rusher GCI/RMC and a longer track if possible.

Had another thought, this time with Hurler. Would it be possible to elevate the track profile on the first turn instead of having to trim it? What I’m picturing in my head is something like this turn on Grizzly, between 2:04 and 2:10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WU2Ol6-HoE And then ...

I rode Hurler 3 times in a row last night. I don’t think the trim was activating, because it felt exactly the same as it did prior to the trim being installed. Tons of airtime, and it was hauling. I agree. My teeth weren't rattling as much in the first ...

Rode Electro-Spin. Actually was a pretty cool ride. Also noticed the trim brakes at the bottom of the hill were back on Hurler. Don't know if they're working, but definitely installed. I rode Hurler 3 times in a row last night. I don’t think the trim was activating, ...

... and the cold snap that was to come kept most away. As I walked past Hurler after riding the drop tower about 6x, I noticed the wires to the trim break still hanging and that section where the trims sat was boarded up. I immediately jumped the fence to ride. My God Hurler was incredible compared ...

... still not butter-smooth, save for the first turn, but as it is now, I would rank it as the fifth best coaster in the park behind Intimidator. The trim is gone for now, so you could some great airtime on those hills after the first turn. -I still enjoy Nighthawk, but I can see why it's not well-liked ...

... on the second launch. I doubt it will open today. On the bright side, the airtime on Hurler is really good this year! I hope they don’t put the trim back on, though I know they probably will, but the airtime is legitimately stronger than Intimidator’s.

... sure that it won't valley. We haven't had her valley yet. If she were to valley, maintenance has a strong belief that it would valley before the trim or in the trench. Throughout my 3 seasons working at this beauty, I can attest that the cooler temps can indeed slow the trains down to a crawl. ...
