Pretty easy to identify the trim brake sections: http://cache.rcdb.com/pictures/picmax/p21470.jpg I've been on Behemoth several times; in fact, going this Sunday. Out of three trips I've made out to Canada, I've only had one awesome day ...

How the heck would you expect to see a trim on the hill while viewing the webcam? MAybe Wormy can get a zoomed in pic? :) It would be pretty easy to see: http://behemoth.canadaswonderland.com/_upload/photo_gallery/behemoth/Behemothriders3.jpg ...

If I'm seeing correctly - there is no trim on the upside of the (now-capped) bunny hill. Now... if we can just make it through the first of the 2 return bunny hops without one we'll be trim-free, not that it really matters.

The webcam appears to be stuck on Cam2 at this point though.

Diamondback has one if I recall correctly towards the end of the ride. The POV for the ride shows it. Notice Carowinds Intimidator POV shows no trims. Hmmm.... Diamondback has a trim on the fifth hill (the one before the helix into the MCBR). That trim isn't too bad. It definitly cuts down on ...

I have been on most of the B&M hypers (Apollo, Nitro, Bull, SoGo, Behemoth, DB) I think all have a trim brake of some sort on them, the only one that it really runied for me was Raging Bull, but that just may have been due to the layout itself and not the trim. I also ...

... want the train to be traveling at for every piece of track. If the train is traveling faster than they expect it to entering the area with the trim, it cuts it down to what it's supposed to be. Hopefully this ride won't have any trims since as mentioned the renderings do not show any, but if ...

... based on the clientele visiting the park. If this were true, the park wouldn't be bothering to build a hyper coaster in the first place. Putting trims on their rides has nothing to do with B&M catering to people who are scared of rides (what do they say? "THERE'S NO WAY I'M GOING ON ...

... KD is the best drop ride ever compared to others I have ridden. In reference to Capler: As for Diamondback, I rode it this past summer, it has 1 trim break before the turn into the MCBR I think. Nitro has about 4 trim brakes on it. The newer B&M hypers have 1 to hardly any trim brakes, and ...

the next hill is going up... we will know if it is getting trimmed today.. I have heard two rumors: 1. It will have one trim on this hill. 2. There will be 2 trim brakes on I232... you know there will be trims, just like on every other B&M hyper.. ...

Every hill that goes up without a trim makes me happier and happier. It's already getting hard to wait on this ride and we are nowhere near opening day yet.

Not much seems to be going on post-lunch today on the cam.
