I would need a massive overhaul beyond what they actually did. You may as well get a new coaster for that kind of redesign. Actually, it potentially could. The 1979 structure couldn’t withstand trims being taken off, however, with the new 2022 structure it theoretically could. 1 Quote

Like the helix looks a lot more stable and not jerky. The pov video I assume will be out soon so when it comes out we can see how hard the trim hits. Quote
DoomPlague Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 I suspect that if they had more of the GG precut track (which is supposedly significantly stronger), you could potentially get a way with a lot less trimming. I've seen how fast the thing (before retrack) could barrel down the track after a good rain and it apparently doesn't completely tear the ride apart or cause injury. If it could run like that all the time, I would be thrilled. 1 Quote
PKIDelirium Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 Also remember that the magnetic trims can be mechanically adjusted to increase or decrease slowing power. As the ride runs a while with all the new tracking and profile adjustments, and they get more familiar with the new operating dynamics, they have the ability to "tune" the trims as needed. 2 Quote
robintodd Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 Beast testing with 3 trains again today. Overheard the 18th is the planned opening date. Take that for what you will. 1 Quote

Coasterteam Posted May 8, 2022 Posted May 8, 2022 Got my custom Discord bot announcing live wait-times when it opens tomorrow. While I can't be at the park until the 20th, I will be watching from afar as I have been for the past couple of weeks. Just a little longer! Quote
