  1. I always thought Millennium sucked on the airtime front. Only three moments of it and only one of those had any force to them. This year though I got some of my best rides ever on it during Halloweekends.(car 8 front row left side). It had ejector for all the hills and had a lot better positive G's than it used to. I don't know what it was about that visit but all the rides were running the best I'd ever seen them. I will agree though that Millennium doesn't usually have the best airtime but it definitely can.(Especially on the first drop )

  2. On Gemini this year I left the lap-bar a lot looser than I meant. I thought I just left tiny bit loose but I forgot to tighten the sea belt at all so that was loose to. I was in the last row and on the first drop I got some of the best airtime ever. Then as I came closer to the bottom I realized I had raised up a few inches with my hands up and the supports at the bottom were one of the best head choppers I've ever seen. On the first turn I did tighten the lap-bar and seat belt though.

  3. ^ And to add to that point it is a good time to remind everyone that Tony even tweeted don't take the animation to heart - it is there for illustration purposes only.

     

     

    You basically repeated my original point. Since the trim is to ensure a "regular" ride experience that means that it is used to compensate for what the design lacks. Therefore KK doesn't have one due to the "kinks" being worked out. Or KK (SF) just doesn't care, thus eliminating the trim. Either way, what we're both getting at is more/less the same thing.

     

    Not to beat a dead horse but my point was that the design is not lacking anything or has kinks. It would be more so park preference to add the trim (such as how MF has trim brackets but CP hasn't elected to add them) not a design issue by B&M. I'm saying the trims are usually there to compensate for changing in weight of trains, weather - stuff that has nothing to do with any design "flaws." (Sure there may be a case here or there when there was a design issue but not in the Mantis case).

     

    I always wonder what the point of that trim on MF would have been . Did they think that the brakes wouldn't stop the train in time or something?
