King's Island Diamondback - New POV! (Update Pg. 25)

[Tom]

This ride is gonna be hauling the entire time, you won't notice a little straight segment.

That drop looks spectacular, but what's a trim?

[Michael]

Guys, everyone knew there was going to be a trim. It was even in the rendered POV

And may I say, what a fantastic looking ride!

Trim Brake
The bane of coaster lovers. A brake that slows a train mid-course.

For any newcomers to coaster terminology, this is your friend. Use it.

And if you want to go more in-depth, a trim doesn't have to be mid-course, it can be anywhere really, just look at Voyage or Beast. Anywho, here's my definition if you want another one. A trim is a brake used to slow the train down to a certain speed anywhere along the trackway of a roller coaster.

Oh OK, I've seen those! I thought that they were that weird netting that some B&M Hypers have!

KICentral has a great new video of Diamondback testing. The ride looks awesome and that train looks beautiful "snaking" it's way along the course. It looked like it was hauling for most of the testing, which is a good sign. Lets hope the trim(s) don't detract from the ride experience too much.

Oh and for anyone who didn't catch the water vents (I'm sure someone didn't), heres a screenshot of them.

That looks amazing, and I'm sure the weight of the riders will make the trains even faster.

^They actually had water dummies in the train to simulate the weight of real riders...

This ride does look amazing though...Can't wait to see how the water effect will look. I feel Ohio calling me...

[coastermatt]

The train was blazing through that course, it really didn't lose too much speed on the MCBR either. That airtime is going to be amazing...

I honestly think that this will beat Manta for best new coaster. This is my new favorite coaster. Is there water in the splash down? Overall this is going to be the MUST RIDE of the year.
