I think most people are hitting the nail on the head with this trim... It's just like the one after helix on SoGo. It's there as a speed control device. Meaning that it will prolly only be used in cases where the train is going to fast for it's on good. ...

^ I can't think of a single example where a trim brake improved a ride experience.... please name one. Flying over the tops of hills at high speeds is what makes coasters entertaining, but B&M has an odd habit however of clamping trains down ...

I think some here are worried way too much about this tiny trim. I will take a small trim which might help in providing a smooth and more pleasant ride experience anyday over no trim at all and a rougher ride. So far, Cedar Fair, Carowinds and B&M ...

Just because a trim has been placed, it doesn't mean they'll use it for every cycle. Weather conditions and wind will play a factor. While the majority of the site is flat, they still spent a decent amount of time and money to clear ...

Your linked picture looks to be 3 small trims in one block of track very close together, ours looks like 1 small trim brake by itself, just without the walkways so far.

Yes I bet they did change their multi-million dollar long-planned construction efforts to suit the needs of our tiny internet community.... totally plausible.

So far we have the big camelback and one of the 2 small ones with no trim - one to go!
