Trim brakes, which probably won't be installed. If they ever were installed the would have to be retractable variety.

No they wouldn't... they'd likely to be just like those on Superman at SFDL and SFA. The brackets are also just after the return hop from the lagoon.

Are the trims S:RoS SFA just stationary then? I could see MF making it back with ease when its warmed up and a trim on, but when it's cold in the morning and nearly stalls out in the final turn any trimage could make it rollback. Good thing it should never happen.

It's a whole lot cheaper to load up the trains with water bottles or employees in the mornings than to install retractable trims. It's a moot point anyway because they've said flat out that trims are not going to be installed.

For those who don't know, there's also a set of The Brackets before entering the 2nd tunnel.
