The way it was explained to me when I was helping test lightning run was we could run the thing 24/7 if we wanted. But no one from the public is allowed to ride until the inspectors sign off on it Can inspectors ride after they've inspected the ride? Hmmmm maybe that should be a requirement so I can change jobs and have perks I almost forgot about that ride, haven't been to KK since kid hit 52' and wanted more "crazy coasters". She marathoned the heck out of that one though when we were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Not sure if I’m supposed to say or not but park employees aren’t considered “the public” Chance was there and did their testing before handing it over to the park with their blessing, employees were riding at that point LOL 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tks944 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 That speed hill is going to be insane. I also like how the park is keeping the head-chopper, after the helix, under the drop a secret. I think it will really blow peoples minds..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc3E Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Looks like there is a trim break on there after all. it was in the blueprints and “in” the animation... (trims are normally represented as a straight piece of track in the animations) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatchesC Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Guess it's better to have trim installed and not need them, than need them and not have them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Trim brakes aren't always a bad thing. Idk about Behemoth as I have not been on it. Some elements are kinda cool to float over or along. imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Trims do not a bad coaster make. B&M purposely tries to attain close to 0g's on the crests of hills, hence the use of trims. A bunch of coasters I favor have trims and don't make them bad in the slightest. That is, unless that coaster is a wild mouse. Trims kind of ruin the purpose, as I experienced on Dorney's. I also don't care for launch coasters that launch straight into trims. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I honestly think the trimmed hill on Diamondback delivers some of the best airtime on the entire ride. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always heard it was the less popular of the 3 they installed to between '08-'10. It doesn't look as appealing to be because you have those 3 trim hills then that weird double helix after the MCBR but then again I've never ridden it to get the full experience. I still think Diamondback is one of the best hypers ever built because of where they placed the MCBR. To me, a break run can kill the experience but I don't feel that way on Diamondback. The MCBR is high enough to where it doesn't kill the momentum and the rest of the ride delivers good airtime and an awesome helix before hitting the splashdown. I'm not a fan of hypers that have that high 90 degree turn like what your see on Intimidator, Mako, and Nitro. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 B&M's are masters of floater air and they need trims sometimes for this to happen. I'll take it! If I want ejector I'll ride an RMC or Intamin coasters. They all have their pluses. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
