... at the B&M plant would fit better with Dale Earnhardt and his number 3 car, which was "a predominantly black car with bold red and silver trim." What color does everyone think the train will be? Or, what color would you like to see? Personally, silver would be pretty cool, but I definitely ...

... must be when it activates. Has anyone here been on it? How bad does that mess up the return? I hope we don't get one of those. I know a little trim is inevitable, but damn. Is that there only to increase the ride throughput?

... are used when the train may be going too fast for a certain area. If the train isn't going fast enough to begin with then most of the time the trims won't activate. Sometimes the trims are barely noticeable but also sometimes they can really ruin a ride. It all depends. The train has just passed ...

... back memories of my last time there, 1993. Damn! That was 16 years ago! But we went specifically for the Mouse opening (before there were ANY trim brakes on this baby). And Rollo Coaster was a surprise of a gem for a jr. woodie. Seems like the Caterpillar was covered when I was there. Maybe ...

... down on the air pressure on the brakes. More distance with lower pressure= softer stop. I believe the park later went in and put in the smarter trim braking algorithm we had originally worked up at PKI for the Beastie and Racer. It was set up to act like the early 90's Arrow trim, but had to ...

... it was easily the best.  Maybe it was just running faster at night, but it had pretty good airtime and the mid-course was very lightly trimmed.  Mad Mouse is a great Arrow mouse without a lot of braking.  Xtreme Swing was a lot of fun; I would love to see one of those near ...

... Mean Streak was smooth and pretty fast in the front, but you can hear all the air time evaporate going down the first drop with those 3 trim brakes. Every point where there should have been some floater airtime, there was NOTHING! But it's still not as bad a coaster as Son of Beast. ...

For those that rode it when it opened in 1992, the section that was most problematic was the loop following the trim brake. <a href='http://rcdb.com/ig112.htm?picture=3' target='_blank'>Here</a> is a great photo showing that loop with the train in it.
