I would assume they are computer controlled because they only hit on some trains, and also because Apollo's has some sort of "trim off" button that allows for trimless cycles in cold conditions or for the first run of the day that they have been known to hit by request during ...

I have been on Apollo's Chariot countless times over the last 10 years and not once have I ever seen any trim brake on except the third hill. In fact, I didn't even know they existed until you posted that. I will have to look for them next time. The third hill is still awesome ...

Let keep things into perspective here. Trim brakes on coasters are not inherently bad. There's alot of calculation and tolerances to be considered, not to mention many times designs are influenced by clients (i.e.: we want this height but keep ...

Are we really serious here!? Our coaster is probably going to be the best ride of 2010 and we're talking about trims. Are you kidding me? http://www.maniacworld.com/classic-allen-iverson-rant.jpg We're sitting here, and this is supposed to be the franchise coaster, and we're talking ...

... train down kinda meant it controled the speed, I don't mean that it can control the speed every single cycle but maybe its there so there is no trim, we have mentiond that bunny hop may be to scrub off speed, I don't know I didn't design the ride unforuntely, I wish I could lay claim to that ...

... around in speeds up construction considerably. All KD has for a construction site is a 'bowl of pudding.' Trims aren't too back. The worst trim on any coaster would have to be the one on Loch Ness Monster right before the first loop. Otherwise, trims are tolerable. And, at the rate Intrimadator, ...

Even with our trim joking our state of conversation is on a different level than the aforementioned site. Hopefully we won't ever stoop that low here - things stay pretty on track and positive.

If we are correct in that our ride only has 1 trim (a one clamp trim at that!), that is quite amazing. It looks like this thing will haul *** over those return hills if all goes well! From the looks and position of our one trim, it doesn't even ...
