There are 3 trims on Skyrush now, that are less than a foot long to basically control the speed to 76 even.
Here's a picture of one from TPR

Re: Ethan's Dev Topic - 'Summit' POV [Page 4]
Summit looks amazing and I love all of your rides, I have a high standard for realistic B&M's and both of yours are outstanding.
It's TPR's own footage. I don't think the POV captures the true sense of speed or the ride in general. According to all the reviews it has airtime on all the hills, some decent forces in the turns, and a great high speed ride.

Some short reviews from people that rode it last night.

"The waiting is over, more photos from the media event!
Jason and I braved the cold Canadian spring (it honestly snowed a bit this morning…) to check out the parks 16th and new...
Reports over at TPR are saying its smooth as glass, built for speed, has floater air, and the speed hill has a combination of ejector/floater. Someone said it's better than Miillennium Force. Seems like B&M and CW have a real winner with Leviathan.
Oh, I just noticed in the Keyhole picture, it seems as though the queue line is going to go through the keyhole too, that'll make for some cool photos, and a really nice experience for guests waiting in line.
Keyhole is starting to go up.
If I remember correctly, there is supposed to be a splash feature on the turn after the immleman, not 100% on that though.
No where am I making out to be more than what it is? All I said from the beginning is that it's flying over the hills, which it is compared to normal B&M hypers, and that we MIGHT get ejector air on the last camel back. You're the one making it seem like I'm saying it's going to be the king of...
I forgot you've been on the ride already so you can declare how Leviathan is going to ride in about a month and a week when it opens, silly me.
Anywho, I'm not arguing over Leviathan anymore, I personally think it looks great, and if you don't like it, don't ride it. Keeps the line shorter for...
Well you can adjust the trims on Leviathan, this video shows it.

Also, I have no doubt this ride is going to be awesome, I personally love B&M's, I don't find any boring, even if they're forceless, maybe I'm just pleased easily. Now that B&M is...
They're magnetic trims, so they're always on, apparently yesterday the guy that works with the park said they were manually adjusting the trims, so this is what it looks like with them on.
The POV was shot on the very FIRST TEST RUN (confirmed by someone on TPR that works with the park), that's why it looks sluggish. Look at the air you're getting on it on the FIRST test run.
Now compare the offride videos of the first test run, to this...
Realize this is a recording on a camera, it really doesn't pick up the proper sound, and he's quite a distance away from the actual ride.
If it's that loud from that far away, imagine it next to the first drop.
New testing video shows that this thing is FLYING.
It looks like there's going to be a TON of force in the first overbank.
