Any B&M's with Trims?

Just like it says. Are there? I always noticed how none of them feel like they go through an inversion to fast but I was just wondering.

Raging Bull has trims. right in the middle of the second hill there are trims :( I believe that Medusa West also has trims before the sea serpent, but I could be wrong because I'm judging from a pic. I can't think of any others, but its possible that there are others.

Nitro has a trim i belive after the third hill or before it.I know its there thou.is there any batman the rides with trims?

I think if there was one on any batman clone it would be on all of them.

Nitro has it right before the hammerhead.

Batman: Knight Flight has one right before the cobra roll, but it is never used.

The one on Mantis hurts IMO.

I haven't been on any B&M without one.

Talon at DP has a trim right before the immelman you can see it if you walk over by the on ride photos.

Wildfire has one on the first drop and one before the cobra roll.

Who cares... it doesn't hurt the rides and it helps keep dispatch intervals right on (with good crews, anyway).

Raging Bull has a trim on the hill that goes over the first drop. There is also a trim right before the figure-eight helix.

Current Favorite Coasters:
1)Raging Bull 2)Medusa (SFMW) 3)Millennium Force 4)Vertical Velocity (SFGAm) 5)Dueling Dragons (Ice)

I'd be willing to bet that all do. Along with most normal coasters...

I am pretty sure that most, if not all B&M coasters have trims. I believe that they are not used unless the train is moving faster than it should. I'm not positive, though.

The only trim brake on a B&M that i have really noticed while riding, is the one on mantis.

Yeah, lots of um.

People need to make sure what type of brakes they are talking about and referring to. TRIM BRAKES, used to slow a train that is travelling too fast for the next element or track run is very different from a MID-COURSE BRAKE RUN which is generally used to stop a train in an emergency or to adjust speeds very slightly due to fluctuations in weather conditions. Any coaster with three operating trains MUST have an emergency mid-course brake run, so the rear train can be stopped if, for whatever reason, the train in front of it stalls on the track. The station itself serves as a second brake run. These are seen on Batman:Knight Flight. Trims are those such as on Mantis, that are often added to the ride after time to adjust the intensity of a specific element or area of the ride. Some rides may use the mid-course brake run as a trim brake as well. This is the case on Goliath.

SFMM's The Riddler's Revenge doesn't have any trim brakes at all and it's B&M's longest looping coaster with 4,370 FT of trackage.
