Mantis valleys?

I believe the trim on B: DK is to ensure the correct speed for the on-ride. (Although the camera misses countless rows every ride)

I doubt the trim on B:TDK is for the on-ride photo. The coaster is 120ft. high. When it goes through the loop and dive loop it's going pretty fast.

I think the trim is there to slow it down before the zero-g roll and corkscrews. I think if this beemer was bigger, there would be a mid-course break before the zero-g roll.

The zero-g roll just isn't as big as it should be for those speeds. The coaster needs to be slowed down before entering it.

Premier may have changed their name; but, as they say, they didn't change their stripes. It's a farce to call that company Six Flags.

Superman:The Escape never does anything but valley, I've yet to see it get over the top. I bet it makes nationwide news when it does. How many of you out there in the peanut gallery have experienced the mudflaps and emergency brake behind the station on S:TE?

OOOO Me! I was riding during Fright Fest 2 years ago and the ride malfunctioned and launched us backwards. We ended up 3/4 of the way back in the mantinence/saftey brake area. We were so far back that it caused the op to open up the flaps and yell out an explicative to how far back we were. Those brakes back there are STRONG. They winch you back into the station and it took 20 minutes to get us back in. Its interesting because of the powerful brakes you slowly get jerked back into the station where they then relaunch you.

Oh God. One of my worst fears is not stopping on the way back on Chiller.

Can you even imagine if anything like that ever happened?

It happens in RCT2 :-)
