... the ACE event, but stopped by the park on Thursday for a few hours. My only previous rides were during the first month before the first drop trim and new restraints, and after experiencing the new version, my opinion of the ride has skyrocketed. It went from something I didn't care about ...

... 4 times in that hour longest line i seen was straight out to the sign. there have also been a few times during the day i have not felt the second trim grab and once did it feel like the mcbr did not grab. you can tell the mcbr because it kinda tosses you forward when you break momentum.

I rode 13 times during coasterstock, many of which were full trains, and only during 1 ride right in the middle of the ERT did the second trim fire. Whether they turned them off intentionally or not, I have not add that many untrimed rides total the rest of the year.

I was told by a member of the ride crew that they didn't touch the trims. It's just that when the trains are empty, there is no need for the computer to turn the trim on because the train isn't going as fast without as many riders. At least that's what I ...

A common misconception about the trim brakes on Intimidator (and perhaps on other coasters) is that the park ‘turns them on and off at times’. .I kept hearing enthusiasts hoping for a trim-less ride. Some even asked for the park to turn ...

Because the GP doesn't know what a trim is. I resemble that remark. I have felt it on numerous coasters and just always called it 'the brakes.' I never knew that 'trim' was until reading through some threads here. I took my time and read other ...

Because the GP doesn't know what a trim is.

You can get a trimless ride, just ride when the train is half empty.

... wondering by the footage why no one had their hands up, well, we were obedient. And I will mention, reluctantly, that Bert noticed the return trim. He asked "Was that, was that a brake ... on that hill coming back? Can we turn it off?" Obviously that didn't air. :lol: About this ...
