I wouldn’t be immediately concerned by the presence of a trim brake coming out of the Immelmann, particularly seeing as some of Mack’s other hyper coasters feature trim brakes that hardly seem to have any effect on the ride’s pacing.
An example I would raise of a ride with trims that aren’t so noticeable is
DC Rivals HyperCoaster at Warner Bros Movie World, a fellow Mack hyper in Australia. As per a POV, that ride seemingly has trims at two separate points (viewable at
0:48 and
1:01 respectively), yet they hardly seem to have any impact on the ride’s pacing at all, and no one seems to complain about the ride being excessively trimmed or even mention noticeable trims:
Hyper Coaster at Land of Legends, another fellow Mack hyper in Turkey, also has trims. The ride appears to have trim brakes at three separate points (viewable at
0:50,
1:00 and
1:19, respectively), but again, they hardly seem to have any impact on the ride’s pacing. And again, no one who’s ridden Hyper Coaster seems to complain about excessive trimming or even mention noticeable trims:
Obviously we don’t know what this trim will be like. It could end up being a ridiculously fierce trim that everyone complains about.
Alternatively, however, this trim might not have any noticeable impact on the ride experience at all. I would argue that the Mack hypers I’ve shown above, being the same ride type as Hyperia, are a valid comparison; perhaps adding trims here and there is just something that Mack does on its hyper coasters? Looking at DC Rivals and Hyper Coaster, I’d argue that the mere presence of a trim coming out of the Immelmann does not immediately mean that Hyperia will be neutered and that the trim will suck all the fun out of the elements that come after. Neither of those two Mack hypers appear overly neutered by the presence of trims.
I’m not saying that this trim definitely
won’t have an impact, but I think it’s a little too soon to declare that it definitely
will, particularly seeing as similar mid-layout trims on Mack’s other hyper coasters don’t seem to have that effect.
