Re: "Unknown", B&M Invert for Parc Asterix
^ MCBR's serve a different purpose to general trims though. I know they do trim the speed, but thats ususally because the following section of track was designed in mind with the train crawling from the MCBR, incase of a breakdown etc.
Thirteen is a good example of that.

Re: "Unknown", B&M Invert for Parc Asterix
It just annoys me how everyone is like, "AGHHHH **** TRIMS".
Um, guys, the trims are kind of there for a reason, so the ride actually does exactly what it's made and designed to do. So, yeah, it's kind of no difference if it does have a trim or not, either way, it's going to ride how it was designed, if you don't like it, that's your opinion.
Seriously. **** sake. Who actually cares?

Re: "Unknown", B&M Invert for Parc Asterix
Listen, at the end of the day, the rides that are built are DESIGNED the way they are. There are odd exceptions where the trims are added AFTER opening. But from what I've seen, Diamondback had them on already? Therefore, they were added so it rode how they designed it...
I thought that would be clear by now?
Some parks don't actually WANT ejector airtime, therefore when they're in the consulting/design stage of the coaster/ride, they'd state that, and then, more then likely, something would be done about it.
Seriously, your post kind of made me LOL. Surely other people can see where I am coming from?

Re: "Unknown", B&M Invert for Parc Asterix
The reason trims are used is because they allow the train to have a tolerance is speed. In an ideal world, the coaster would be designed to have perfect floater (or whatever was required) and the hills would be shaped and it would never need to be touched. Sadly the real world is different. Trims are there to try an make the riding experience uniform, regardless of the small changes in speed that the trains are going to have. The trims aren't put there to slow the train every time (like you're suggesting by saying that they're designed into the ride), but to slow it if it's overspeeding. It's a case of controlling factors that CANNOT be worked out in simulators.
Why not make the lift hill smaller? Why not make the hills bigger? I can see your point, but it's not really the best argument. If the park (or manufacturer) didn't want ejector, then they could've designed it out without the use of trims.-lofty- said:

Re: "Unknown", B&M Invert for Parc Asterix
I don't think it was meant to be the greatest NL track ever. It was just showing the layout.Xpress said:
Who knows?! It depends how much other stuff they've got to do that we won't really see. Wiring the station, all the sensors, the computers etc will all go in with very little noticeable progress. So depending how far through that they are, we might see testing next week, or next month, or maybe even later.D1993 said:
