Question about trims

How can you tell if the trims are on or off before going down the first hill?

"Before" you go down the hill.- Look and listen. Watch the train for a acceleration decline while going down the first hill and you can ussually hear the trim brakes while the train passes over them.

You can more easilly tell if your ride is trimmed by feeling and listening. The Mantis is a great ride to feel the trims. You will notice a real "slowing down" of the ride... as on MS you can hear the breaks, they are pretty loud.

When the trims come on, your body comes forward from the force or jerk when the train passes over the trims. *** Edited 6/21/2004 4:21:47 AM UTC by daniel smith***

The point of trims is to give more time to load and unload cars. Most of the time thats what there used for. *** Edited 6/21/2004 9:53:32 PM UTC by Ary***

Also to put less stress on the structure
