Also, where are the trims on the Beast drop, I've never noticed them, and I have a video of it from 2000 and 2001.

the best place to see them are when you are on the return to the station out of the double helix. just look at the first drop and they stick out like a sore thumb.

Bottom of photo. Trims, not block brakes. I know the difference Loaded.

I didn't even notice them on Mantis, my first vistit to CP this year I rode Mantis first and I was bored. Of course I was heavily anticipating riding on Millenium Force. My last visit, I loved it, but it was in the dark and in the last seat, much more exciting, still I didn't notice the brakes!!! Mean Streak is so incredibly obvious on the trim brake. It is a beautiful coaster. I love the queue line that is situated inside the structure. The arial views of it are incredible. It is too bad that so many are so disappointed with it. You would think that it would out do PKI's The Beast, being nearly 20 years newer, but it doesn't. Why didn't they build some tunnels on this ride as well?

On BKF, I think that the trim brake is a sensor for the on-ride photo. I've been on the ride and always remember a strobe light thing in that area. Thus-the photo place.

I've also waited in line for it and noticed that that track does not slow the train down at all.

When I first saw this post, the ride that came to my mind was Montu at BGT. Right before the batwing, there is a trim, and boy is it a trim. I still went through the batwing feeling like my feet were being pulled off, but that thing really slows you down. The only good trim brake I can think of is the one at the top of Oblivion's hill. Haha. I made a funny. I've noticed pics of Mantis and I saw that trim at the bottom of the hill. Why? Why would they ruin such a sweet lookin ride? Why? Also, I have seen many, many aerial photos of Mean Streak and boy does that look fun. But until I found out about how it "crawls" down that first hill, I'm starting to have my doubts. Cause I know Summers and Dinn tried very hard to avoid trim brakes. It sux when parks put them in cause of the average person complaining. Oh well.

I knew that those brakes had something to do with the on-ride photo. Thanks Choclate Starfish.
