Push your shoulders up tight against the harnesses on either side where you'll feel snug. You're less likely to feel like you're gonna fall. It's amazingly fun, and I didn't get the nerve to get on it until after getting off Drop Tower, I was told Delirium is less scary than Drop Tower (true). When it gets to it's very highest peak, and you're saying, "Holy Moly", then it immediately slows down and gets lower, so there's only one REALLY high point, then you're done, back to not as scary.

Today (just an ordinary Wednesday) seemed to be a day of heightened security at the park. We had the security guard bag search on the way in, which is unusual when it's not Halloween Haunt, just a standard, non-busy Wednesday morning. Then we were blocked at Diamondback with a no early admission rope, and a VERY intense female security guard. Then after two perfect Diamondback rides, we were locked in our seats for our third consecutive ride, and suddenly we were all ordered to exit the train and go back to the gate. We stood and watched three empty trains run through, with no explanation. The young people working at Diamondback were courteous, as usual. They encouraged us to go enjoy another ride and come back later. After a quick Beast ride, we got back on Diamondback and our seats were chosen for us this time. Flight of Fear had a CLOSED sign in front, of course. We walked up to the lockers in front of Banshee, to be told that Banshee was having maintenance issues and was shut down. As we walked toward the main entrance to get a bite to eat, we passed the emergency truck and several grim security guards. After taking a lunch break, we worked our way back to Banshee to find it was still shut down, roughly an hour later. So we left the park at 1:00 PM, facing much longer lines waiting to get in, and having their bags checked by many security guards. Again, they seemed intense and grim. Just a weird feeling in the park today. When did all this extra security start? I come to the park weekly.

SheilaET, I too am also a 5'5 female and weigh around 212. I have been able to get on every single coaster in the park. (Last year I got on Drop Tower twice, and WindSeeker once). I occasionally ride Delirium. But mostly I ride roller coaster after roller coaster every week with my teens. I DO get beat up on the wooden coasters, but Diamondback and Banshee are a staple ride that I ride multiple times (any row) on my weekly visits. Best Wishes and Have Fun at the Park! coaster_womn
