iChase Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Greatest variety? No so sure about that. Behemoth looks pretty sweet. I'm heading up to Canada this summer, I'll make a stop by CW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 http://www.rcdb.com/ig4005.htm?picture=9 Just out of curiosity, what is with that ONE piece of what looks to be a maintenance walkway? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know? I believe those are trim breaks, but I could be completely wrong. I've not ridden many B&Ms in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Those are in fact trim brakes, and unfortunately, behemoth has lots of them... I'm heading up to Canada this summer, I'll make a stop by CW. Photos and trip report are necessary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrocoasterkid Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yea, it does appear Behemoth is going to be heavily trimmed...it appears to be on every return trip air time hill (based on watching the POV on their site). Let's hope if we get a B&M hyper next year, ours doesn't have all those trims on every air time hill.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just because the brakes are there does not necessarily mean they will be used. Also, even if they are used, there is a huge difference between a light trim and a near stop.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just because the brakes are there does not necessarily mean they will be used. Also, even if they are used, there is a huge difference between a light trim and a near stop.... Yeah, I remember reading somewhere that both Talon and Hydra at Dorney have trims, but neither ride has ever used them. I know that the park said they'd make a decision on whether or not to use the trims based on the g-force tests. Plus, if used correctly, the trims may even give the train more floater airtime, rather than sharp ejector air - just something to ponder on.

Photos and trip report are necessary! Of course! I'll keep you guys up to date, and ride Behemoth with all of you in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrocoasterkid Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 You make a good point Interp.... Hopefully they will be controlled, and limited to the effect they have. I can't imagine it'll kill the airtime, just slow it if its "going too fast" and controlling the negative G's so it's not to the uncofortable level.

Touchdown Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Also, look at CP too. Raptors MCBR is usually turned off, and when its cold Magnum and Gemini's are too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
