Your park's trim brakes
Just curious as to how many trims your park has, and what coasters are they on? Before we begin, I would like to state that 1.) this is not a thread to moan about trims, 2.) they don't bother me, I actually try to enjoy the ride, and 3.) counting midcourse block brakes as a trim or not is up to you, I have no idea a good criteria for that.
Anyway, SFOG:
Dahlonega MT: 2.
GASM: 0 (used to have 1).
Mindbender: 2
GA Cyclone: 2
SUF: 2
Which brings the total to.... 8 in the park.
EDIT: correct count
-----------------
Is that a Q-bot in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

CP, every coaster but Blue Streak, Millie, WT, and the Kiddies.
Wildcat has 3, Maggie has 1, CCMR has 1, Gemini has 2, Mantis has 2, Raptor has 1, Mean Streak has 2, DT has 3?

BTE: 1
I guess you could count the transfer track on Ultra Twister, or the brakes on Greezy, which are never used as trims, but they're there. IMO, those 2 don't count, since UT's are necessary for obvious reasons, and Greezy's are NEVER used as trims.

What, did reading the *French Canadian invasion* do something to your Anglais....it seems to be reading a little funny, as if you're suddenly taking English as a second language.
As for trims, Ga Cyclone has 2? Wow, not that you'd notice them, too busy holding on. The work done on that ride last off-season...c'est magnifique...;). That I promise will *probably* be the last, lamest, attempt...ever...probably ;)
I'll check oot everything that's operating at BGT this weekend and get back to ya....sorry *yankees*. But I honestly never really pay much attention to them unless they really GRAB a train, which I guess is why I'm surprised when I am forced to notice them....

As for my home parks, Big Chief runs their rides trimless (very nice!) and SFGAm's number of trims varies day to day. The most would be nine (three each on Bull and both sides of AE). The least (if all rides are running) would be six (two on Bull, one on Eagle), though that's a *very* rare thing!
-Nate (who notes that Magnum actually has *nine* trims!)

I'm sure there are others in the park, but they've never bothered me enough to notice. To be as exact as i can, i'm pretty sure B:TDK has one that's very rarely used and i know there's ones that are standard on the boomerang clone (Flashback). And I also know S:ROS has none, and that's IMHO what makes it such a top-rated ride: speed from start to finish!
~me
btw: the only trims that really bothered me were the ones on Bull, and the ones on the first hill of Mean Streak (having ridden it before, they completely ruined the ride for me).

peace, love, coasters.

America's (and Darien's) can be seen here: http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery699.htm?Picture=1
(train is just about to the trim)
SFNE's can be seen here if you look closely: http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery628.htm?Picture=6
(look behind the train where that curve passes over the beginning of the bunny hops).
Of note, since they're magnetic brakes they're always on.

Jus' gimme de light!
Yes I'm positive that Eagle has three trims on each side: before the barrel, after the barrel (just before the drop into the return run), and before the final helix. Usually all three are on at least somewhat, but I did get a ride last year where only the first barely touched.
Nitro actually has two (before the turnaround and the midcourse) though the first barely touched when I was there in Oct.

I do think there are some on the Wild Mouse as well, but never encountered those on.

1 before helix on Wild One, and one before last two hills on S:ROS
------------------
never met a coaster I didn't ride (except Junior Geminii) :(
Perhaps I COULD talk about the TRIMS at my home park, but it's so much MORE fun to read a PINK FLOYD FANATIC CAPS-LADEN RANT so I'll defer.
