DOCTOR DOOM!!!

Was anybody at the park on Friday 8-13-2010Was Beast down towards closing time on Friday 8-13-2010 Was it open at all?!

It's not that they added more trims to Beast, it's the style of brakes used! The old skid brakes were longer and didn't hit as hard as the magnetic trims that are used today! But the skid brakes achieved the same speed as the magnetic brakes providing it was not raining! I believe people complain about trims today because you can actually feel them slowing you down especially on the drops off the lift hill where as you could not feel the skid brakes no where near as much! I think they may have added an extra magnetic trim after the turn coming from the 1st drops tunnel recently when Cedar Fair took over! I don't recall it being there during the Paramount or Taft days! (Both types, Magnetic or Skid!) Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong! 1st post!!! EDIT: just watched video and I seen skid brakes where I mentioned earlier! When the brakes were switched to magnetic, however I don't recall a brake being there until Cedar Point came in... I could be wrong!
