Trims with the most power?

There are a hell of a lot of trims on Beast. Although I don't consider them the most powerful, there are sure a lot of them.
Hercules at DorneyPark has really powerfull trims! When going down the first drop youy think your going to get all of this speed but then you get slamed foward becuase the lack of speed..... Then you hang halfway down the drop before droping ,but the drop and turn over the lake is still very powerfull,however the rest of the ride lacks any good speed or airtime. Also I dont think the GASM at SFGAdv brakes are too powerfull ,but the do help alot becuase for they where added you would get banged up really bad going into and out of the turn after the first loop... Another coaster which is brakes really bad is Meanstreak at Cedarpoint we go so much speed but after the drop the rest of the ride was boring and long.... and dident excite me at all.

The "problem" with Herc and Jerk (not to be confused with Clean and Jerk), at least IMO, is the turn over the water....little/no banking, sharp turn, right at the base of the frist drop! Small wonder they installed a couple hundred feet of brakes...(ok, I'm overestimating, but not by much). I credit Herc's sub-par performance to design, and when I ride a woodie ONLY once, it's pretty poor...

But as noted, the trims don't need to be on Full-Blast when there's just SO MANY of them...the effect's the same. Also as noted, they don't necessarily hurt the ride THAT much...I just prefer they not use trims in place of routine maintenance...

Grizzly@PGA, for a ride that had little to offer in the first place, those trims deminish the little power the ride has. You almost need a second lift hill to get up the first incline.

There's more at Paramount Great America than Grizzly, Demon@PGA is totally washed up with it's trims now(nice touch after taking out every bit of theming including the rocky tunnel dcenery an tunnel through the loop).

You don't think you can ruin such a short ride such as Greased Lightnin'? Think again, there are trims right after the the launch that can be felt easily, you get launched out of the station and feel like something is trying to pull you back. Then when you go backward, they apply the brakes again and now only one car of the whole train actually goes up the back spike. If there was no Montezuma in California, then we would never know what Anton's great creation is really like.

On Green Slime Mine Coaster, might I ask, WHO GOT THE BRIGHT IDEA OF PUTTING TRIMS ON A KIDDIE COASTER? Right when you go up into the ride's(only) helix, there are brakes at the top and around the first part of the turn. I remember that wildmouse type feeling before, and even that is gone.

What is wrong with Paramount and taming coaster? Next thing you know there will be trim breaks on top of Hypersonic XL and all the way down Son of Beast's first drop.

What trim brakes are on Superman:Ride of Steel?

Goliath at SFMM, it stops it pretty darn quick.
