From the pic's it looks promising. Hope it's completed and 'working right' for the ERS.

I see it has trims on the first drop. Wonder how far down they'll go. I seem to recall Sequioa Adventure is trimmed nearly all the way down.

Looking at the close up of the 8th picture down, it looks as if the trims are fully installed, so maybe the first 3 feet of the drop, rough estimate.

It dont seem to look like trims seem to look more like magnets to me to slow it while its going over then release when it gets to the end of the magnets. Myself and Nat are going next week so were give you a update then. Looks great tho

That is looking like it is going to be one cool ride. I must say though Smiler you are a little early to be a first rider
