Oldiesmann 14476 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 As of yesterday, that big crane was the only remaining "heavy machine" at Delirium - the cherry picker was gone, as was the other crane. They were still working on it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gburn07 1 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 tks for the new info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 403 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Nice pics. Not nice for Delirium but nice pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gburn07 1 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 It is cool how they did all the work up on top instead of bringing the whole arm off like other people 'thought' would happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 403 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 If they would have taken the whole arm off it would have just made it harder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harvesterofyoursorrow 0 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Well, when they didnt take of the arm that confirms that the main gear is what failed. If the motor blew then they would take down the whole arm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SOB_TOM 86 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 You would be surprised how easy some people make these rides to work on. Plus, have you ever seen the insides of one of these rides? I would tell ya, but you dont need to know what the problem is. Plus its more fun to see you guys guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gburn07 1 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 actually i can pretend n' be smart and know whats wrong with the ride....well..the third axel by the fourth motor ceased to operate which caused havoc...following this..mechanical engineers were brought up to the seen to properly repair the device to its glory days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TQZ 2 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Drove by this morning and I saw the crane up and working on it. That was about 9 am. I know whats wrong with it too... Its broken. And Im not a mechanic. I just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. </badjoke> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gburn07 1 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 well actually a fat person went on the ride and when the ride was going full swing one direction the motors couldn't make it up all the way n' thats y one of the gears got screwed. didn't take a genius to know that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matth 2 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Well, when they didnt take of the arm that confirms that the main gear is what failed. If the motor blew then they would take down the whole arm. Why do you think that, about "the motor"? ..matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gburn07 1 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Who knows, well i guess they were still working on it today cuz noone said anything new about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HelixSpiral 2 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Well, when they didnt take of the arm that confirms that the main gear is what failed. If the motor blew then they would take down the whole arm. Why do you think that, about "the motor"? ..matt Yeah, I'd tend to think the opposite. The drives sit off to the side and the gear is in the "guts" of the pivot at the top. But like Matt said earlier, the rides are designed to facilitate repairs and maintenance (for the most part anyways). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gburn07 1 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Ya i'm sure they made maintenance for the mechanical parts of it easy, hence the platform up there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
