People cannot make rational decisions on their own however. Make the belts the length of MF and TTD and call it a day. If you can't attach the seat belt, its best if you not ride.
I wonder how many MPH the trim on Diamondback slows the train, it has to be at least 15mph. That is the only part I get any airtime cause of the inertia of the violent slow down.
should not be any trims cause the elements are so drawn out, that will take all the forces out. Its common for a couple places to have holes to mount trims just in case in the real world the train goes faster than what the engineers plan.
Even Intamin has a couple small trims on SKYRUSH. Its not like b&m's trim on Diamondback going over the hill to the onride photo where the trim is just as large as a mcbr.
There has been rumors for a couple of years now about a giga. Did they ever put anything in the perilous plunge spot? they were going to use that area for the station and the coaster would dwarf everything else in the park.
IMO the only rides worth riding there is xcelerator and was perilous plunge, They got a forceless invert, a boomerang, shuttle coaster, and some family rides.

Are they ever going to get that rumored giga? I can wait a couple years to take my next west coast trip if they get a new coaster otherwise I will go sooner than later and skip knots all together and only go to magic mountain and marine world. Granted they have xcelerator, but its not worth my time to go to the park and ride one ride and leave.
I respect what your saying about Mr. Helbig saying nothing is leaving in the foreseeable future. Its like a coach, people ask him if he's leaving to go somewhere else and he says no then the next day he's at a press conference announcing it. We won't find out about anything till its announced or construction has started.
I would relplace it with one though. It may not be the popular decision but I dont think it belongs now. Maybe in the taft days but not now. It stands out to much.
Sell it to BGW.
I would dismantle the eifel tower and build a 500' rocket in its place. Since there is a lack of themed areas I feel the eifel tower stands out like a sore thumb. Have the 500' tower there in the center of the park to make the skyline look better.
