^I don't know how that would work if they use the same trims. I305 has a parabolic hill (as most coasters do) so that means the radius of the hill is constantly changing, which means that the brakes would have to be specially built to contour to a specific position on the track. So if they did "raise" the trims, they must have ordered new trims and either scrapped the old trims or put them in storage.

Frankly, all I care about is what it will be like at the end of August (when I go to SFA and KD) - I want to at least know I can sleep comfortably knowing what my experience will be like.

^ I don't think so, it's straight enough where they have them, where have you seen different shaped lims?

Its just my experience and I'd understand that people take it for what it is as its not confirmed on any official website. After all, considering the amount of theme parks and rollercoasters out there. Websites aren't gonna get into how one rollercoaster in the world added trims or not. So, you'll mainly hear it by word of mouth from people who ride it often.

Basically, I come here once every week or 2 weeks. The breaks used to be near the bottom of the first drop and now they are near the top of the first drop. I sit in the front row and thats how I know.

I hope one day they have the REAL Intimidator 305 back up and running again, the real 94 MPH beast that blacks people out, has an awesome airtime 2nd hill, and has big huge twist and turns to it's original potential.

So, did anyone go back recently? What's the current trim configuration? Are they still playing around with it, or do they look like they are done?
