... I305 topic there. Their coaster discussion has devolved to the point they had to have an automatic filter installed that prevented the word "trims" from being used, it would automatically replace that word with "restrictor plate." Then it got off on people's, shall we say, ...

Oh, and the completely UNTRIMMED ride was spectacular.. :lol: It made me remember why this thing is so great.. I had flashbacks of Media Day.. The trims do not provide safety... they provide consistency... between two extremes... that aren't extreme at all... and are turned off for days at a time ...

Monday I got my 80th ride. On the trims, it's strange how different two rides can be on the thing. On ride 77 the wind was really kicking and it turned the trims off totally and I had ejector air on every hill on the return trip. When we came ...

... on Diamondback last week... I think I prefer it very slightly to Intimidator. There are a couple more hills with airtime, plus there is only one trim (which doesn't really affect the ride). I like the turnaround better on Intimidator, though, and Diamondback doesn't have anything that compares ...

I got second train out this morning before the masses flooded the place.

The second trim didn't fire at all with a full train! It was heavenly.

Yeah I don't buy that either. I think the lift hill is all the computer is using to control the trims. I believe it weighs the train, then the heavier the train the more it trims you. It has nothing to do with the previous train. I've been on it when there were maybe 5 ...

... in row 4, and twice in the very back, on the left side. The lift hill pullover and airtime on the hills is just spectacular. Only once did the trim bite hard, and yet, in the back, the ride was still very good. Between the Intimidator rides, I rode cobra, cyclone, vortex, thunder road (left), ...

... right now, not that anyone knows who they are. That woulda made for an interesting Q&A, though. "So, about those boats that are too big, trim brakes, and melting wheels..."

I think i know how to solve the trim problem so coaster wont have trims... Just make the hills on the coaster taller... for example that second hill says its 151ft tall, why didn't they just make the hill about 160ft so there will be no ...

Like Steve said, the trim use is automated due to many variables.

Yea I noticed the trim I think on opening day, but everytime I had rode this year I didnt feel it or anything. I havent rode it for a good while though. That sucks that they turned it on and it kills the ride. Hurler is one of my favorites ...

... after opening day. I know I rode Hurler 2 weeks before the end of the season last year and on opening day this year and never felt / heard the trim. Last month, it was definitely on, and it kills the ride. Sucks the life right out of it. Reports are that KD's Hurler has the exact same trim ...
