calakapepe Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Just as a general, straight-to-the-point question: Why does the rotation on Delirium's ring always bounce and skip when it reaches the top of it's swing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 It's a "feature." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 If that's not a joke, then my condolences; but is it from the wheels/ rubber belt (or whatever is used to grip the ring) slipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 It's supposed to do it...it's a feature, not an issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Oh, well I didn't figure it was an issue... nothing dangerous, that is. But I just figured that maybe the bumping wasn't intended. And your quotes around feature didn't make me think otherwise; just made me think I shouldn't worry. (I don't btw, I trust KI would close a ride when needed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catzdrummer09 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 ...I've never noticed it... hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Oh well, a mutual friend doesn't ride it because he claimed that the bolts were coming off. I asked him how he knew, and he said at the peak of the swing it was jumping. [perhaps I should post this in guests say the darnedest things] But I just came on here to see if anyone knew the real reason why it does this. I still think it's safe even with this bouncing.

The Interpreter Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Not unlike the odd, weird noises that Drop Tower makes, it truly is a feature, and is designed into the ride experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Alright, I shall take your word, and hopefully he'll climb on to the ride and enjoy it as it's meant to be enjoyed. On a side note, I rode today... and walking off I couldn't help but think. Did they make the swings higher? And add two extra swings?

Hank Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 If I may....what's with the horn on Diamondback? Sometimes sounds, sometimes doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 You mean the sound most, if not all, B&M's make? It's just B&M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 The horn is an all clear signal to be sounded when the coaster has not been running and is beginning to run again. If you are in the lock out area (as a worker), it is a "Get the heck out of there" warning! It also makes Terpy homepark sick...and makes him start wondering if Kingda Ka is running again. It has the same horn, and the first year it sounded before every dispatch (then the locals got tired of that!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rcfreak339 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 It makes you feel like your "popping" out of your seat. It's really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Yes, Delirium is in no way a gravity driven ride. Nor are S&S towers..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
