Yeah no luck here either.

Also, looks like they are putting more and more trim breaks on there. Went by today and saw 2 very easily and they were installing something on the track down by Afterburn.

That's the sun reflecting off of the track, its pretty much impossible to have a trim on a banked turn.

You don't need a page number. At the very top of this page is a box that says "Search this topic?". Just enter "trim" in that box and click Search.

^^Ok, care to give me a page number? I'm not gonna look through 15-20 pages just to see a discussion on a trim.

Wait is that a new trim on the hill after the hammerhead, or did I completely miss that earlier?

Looks like the catwalks have been added on the 2nd trim.

... forces on the rider. But for every transition, ideal speed is essential to keep forces in check. Like I said earlier, the placement of the trim doesn't always equate to the element in which its located. In the case of Intimidator, the trim on the third hill is most likely setting up the ...

... I'm sure they want the ride experience the same for all. I found this.... (even though we know already what it is, I'm highlighting a point) Trim Brake - A brake used to slow a roller coaster train or car. Trim brakes are typically found in the middle of the circuit and are used to slow a ...

... I have never felt a B&M hyper get anywhere near "too intense" or pass too far into the final block brakes (Superman SFA/DL) where a trim would be a necessary precaution. I wish I could just hear B&M explain why they exist rationally and I bet I would never even doubt / worry ...

They're indeed computer controlled. In my many rides on Behemoth, I can notice a lap having trims grab that wasn't there on the last lap. I guess they just sense them and then set trims on for next lap. Also assuming they do have a "trim off" button too, since ...

Intamin's trims, correct me if I'm wrong, have always come as an afterthought. Some like Bizarro at SFNE probably have them because of things like their brakes failing and others like the Superman hyper clones because the brake ...
