ZukoGirl Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 I ask this because last year I noticed that Delirium had on a few of it's seats black/red harnesses. I didn't know if they were replacements or they Ki planned to renew them all Quote
Racerrider Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 probably not, but I don't keep tabs on stuff like this so I may be wrong. Quote

I didn't know if they were replacements or they Ki planned to renew them all I have no idea but, It may be possible. I hope because I like getting in the new restraints! Quote
violakat03 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 I'm sort of doubting they'd take that big of an undertaking this year, with Diamondback and all the work on The Beast this year. But, you never know. You're also very observant to have seen the differences - I sure never noticed them. Good eye. Quote
specialk141 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 i dont know about new restraints, but i would like to see a new ride program.... a bit longer. i've been on maxair at cp, and i'm sure many of you have as well... its a much longer, much more enjoyable ride... so lets hope for the best! Quote
CincinnatiCyclone Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 I noticed them too. Last year about a third of the restraints on Delirium looked to be brand new. I think Kings Island probably replaced some of the old restraints because they were worn out or damaged. Maybe that is why it had so much down time.I dont know that they will replace all of them, or even some, but that could be safer. Plus one employee could probably do it in a week. Anyways, we will just have to wait and see. Quote
Gabe Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Just hope that the motor doesn't break again as it did a couple of seasons ago which shut the ride down for most of that season while waiting for a new part to arrive from Bremen, Germany! I often enjoyed getting about 5 rides in a row on it last season during the morning erts in Action Zone. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I can hardly handle riding Delirium or Face/Off more than once in a day. (Riding Face/Off back to back was a bad idea) Quote
DropZone99 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I can hardly handle riding Delirium or Face/Off more than once in a day. (Riding Face/Off back to back was a bad idea) I'm guessing cause of the G's? On opening day last year I hurt my back on Delirium, and Invertigo made it worst. But SOB fixed it! Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I can ride Face/Off all day long but Delirum only about 3-4 times a visit. I hardly even ride the ride any more since I find it kind of borning. Quote
tigellinus Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I can hardly handle riding Delirium or Face/Off more than once in a day. (Riding Face/Off back to back was a bad idea) I'm guessing cause of the G's? A couple of rides on both I'm ok, but anymore than like 2 rides on each, it's the day-after vertigo that gets me. But taking this Bonine stuff has proved wonders!! Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Dramamine usually does the trick for me. Take one about 45 minutes before I get on my first coaster of the day. Quote
kiruler102 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 ya not for me.... in the morning i eat a HUGE breakfast then start riding rides. I AM FINE!!!. one day we were running late and it was like 930 and we stopped at Thorntons gas station and i ate 2 chili dogs before going to the park Quote
Jasper Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I highly doubt this just because I doubt Delirium can get any NEW restraint types for that certian type of ride model. Now as for just new restraints in general I think that could be possible if in the upcoming years we see more and more restraints breaking down and becoming un-useable. I personally prefer Delirium over MaXair mainly just do to the setting that it I placed in. Posted from my iPhone!!! Quote
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I can hardly handle riding Delirium or Face/Off more than once in a day. (Riding Face/Off back to back was a bad idea) Isn't riding Face/Off back-to-back with someone the only way to ride it? Sorry, couldn't help it. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 It is if they want to face off and I am riding one end or the other in the front seat...as is my custom. You see, it's like two face, the flip side...or sumthin'. Terpy, who has been and will be here all week... Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Terpy, who has been and will be here all week... No threats Terpy! Although, have you ever been gone? Back on topic though, I think they would have only replaced restrains that need replacing. So I would say there might be a few more new ones, but not all of them. Quote

diamonaback2013 Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 They always seem to change because i always seem to get seat number 2,3,4,5, and 6 and they change every couple times I go. Quote
gameGhost Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 i dont know about new restraints, but i would like to see a new ride program.... a bit longer. i've been on maxair at cp, and i'm sure many of you have as well... its a much longer, much more enjoyable ride... so lets hope for the best! What are the defenses between Delirium and Maxair? Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 max air does dominate Delirium MaxAir destroys Delirium. But I still find Delirium to be an enjoyable ride. I spend so much time in Action Zone that I feel like I insult Kings Island if I go to the park without riding it. Quote
TopThrill Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 I like seeing Lake Erie upside down, along with Raptor!! Quote
tigellinus Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 THE BEST maXair seat there is, Giga, is 21! When I told a ride op this, he said he agreed and called it the "Black Jack seat", which I thought was cool. Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 THE BEST maXair seat there is, Giga, is 21! When I told a ride op this, he said he agreed and called it the "Black Jack seat", which I thought was cool. You're not the first one to mention that, now that I remember. I will have to try that seat.. I've walked on to maXair a few times and it was so dead that the ride ops told us pick any seat we wanted. I wonder if it's the same for Delirium? Quote
CincinnatiCyclone Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 You can on walk-on days. They let you choose your seat, but they try to make sure the ride is balanced. Quote
gameGhost Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 I cant find any defenses in the rides stats. So what is the defense between Delirium and Maxair? Quote
teenageninja Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Not much, just the surroundings really. I also feel like the ride program is longer. Quote
gabelogan99 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 I had a strange experience on Delerium once. I sat in what can only be described as a "weird seat" and I couldn't see the ground when we were up in the air. Can anyone explain this phenomenon? Quote
