Trims on hills are necessary. Sorry, they won't be going anywhere in the near future.

Chances are you hit "reply" more than 1x when waiting on the post to post. Might I suggest utilizing your "edit" option and just deleting the extra post?
My understanding of the Raptor block brake (which is it's real name) is it monitors each train as it's going through and if the computer thinks it's going too fast then it uses the brake, or doesn't as in many cases of the morning test rides (no riders) or high winds (high resistance) I know there is no way to adjust it on the control board and many times we have to keep an eye on the trains in the block to be sure they're not being stopped too much or not enough. Also someone here mentioned that same block is used to keep an accident from occuring too. If the sensors sense a train where it doesn't belong it will stop the train on the block. Also during any blackouts the block will automatically lock and make the train stop there too.VERY cool thing to happen, happened to me this past season, sat in the block for 15 minutes! :) Of course I'm only an op, don't know much beyond that! ;)

It's all about getting around the barrels, or over the fences, right leads, no faults, fastest time and looking pretty when done. What's so hard about that? :)
