Gturner94 Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 has anyone every ridden an inner facing Frisbee ride. They feel so much faster I guess because they are much smaller and a different veiw Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 That Frisbee at Great Adventure was actually made by HUSS and is a standard, not Giant, frisbee. At Great Adventure it was variously called Frisbee and Pendulum, just as the Jump2 there was also known as Jumping Jack Flash. It was not made by Mondial. Both these rides were HUSS attractions. IT is the ride that went to Six Flags Great America, where it is known as Revolution: http://greatadventur...om/Pendulum.htm Sorry for the confusion... I have ridden it hundreds of times, and it is a far more intense experience than the Giant Frisbees, just as the standard HUSS Top Spin is a far more intense experience than the Giant Top Spin, either as it opened or as it now operates.

Could you show me the difference of a Giant Top Spin and a normal Top Spin? Quote
HTCO Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Giant Top Spin = The Crypt at Kings Island Top Spin = The Crypt at Kings Dominion Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Sure. The Crypt at Kings Island is the world's only Giant Top Spin. Here's a standard one: http://www.coasterfo...?categoryid=304 And here is The Crypt at Kings Dominion, also a standard Top Spin: http://farm3.static....1d8b3df.jpg?v=0 Quote

Is it to make them look more thrilling? Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 And here is a great video of a Huss Standard Top Spin in action: http://www.myvideo.d..._Bausch_Offride And here is a Jump2: http://www.myvideo.d...ark_Attractions Huss does not allow embedding. So do you know why HUSS has a fascination of taking good rides and wanting to supersize them? Is it to make them look more thrilling? The thought was larger parks would be able to have increased capacity on their rides... Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Thank you...I had somewhat forgotten how much I loved Pendulum aka Frisbee...you've given me reason to consider planning a trip to Six Flags Great America...so many good rides at Great Adventure were moved elsewhere after the War on Lines experiment failed...just as Evolution ended up at Six Flags St Louis, where it not only now lives happily, but runs reliably, which it never did consistently at Great Adventure...

Gturner94 Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Yeah I need to plan a trip somewhere. Later this year I might go to Holiday World but I really want to go to Six Flags Over Texas. It looks like a good park. That Jump 2 also looks like a great ride. Were is that located? Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 I believe Canada's Wonderland has one...(goes to look): http://www.flatrides...ages/jump2.html http://www.canadaswo...ry.cfm?ac_id=23 Yep, Sledge Hammer... Quote
Gturner94 Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 cool. Can anyone confirm if SF Over Texas is a good park or not? Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Yes. It is a most excellent park. Texas Giant is currently closed for renovation, a very good thing... Quote
Delirium13 Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 ^^ Here is my long trip report from my visit in 2007. It is a very fun park! Quote
Gturner94 Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Cool. Thanks everyone.I will have to start planning a trip to there. Quote
Dieseltech20 Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 There is a big crane beside the ride now. Appears that they are working on the top of it. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Send in the cranes, There ought to be cranes... And now it's next year. Terp, nostalgic Quote
TylerRider Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 There is a big crane beside the ride now. Appears that they are working on the top of it. At Delirium or Texas Giant? Quote
bscott400800 Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I was at the park yesterday and there were cranes out with workers working on the top part of the ride. Quote
EssentiallyCoaster Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I was at the park yesterday and there were cranes out with workers working on the top part of the ride. Read 4 posts above you. Quote
thebeastisawsume Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/user/theBrettandDaJames This was taken by me today Quote
kjkjkj Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Maybe after this repair, they will actually getting it swinging as high as it used to when it first opened. Quote
Adventure Express Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 When I took a trip on July 3rd, Delirium was closed, so there is probably some technical difficulties going on there. Quote
Mini_Cooper Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I'm positive that this has already been stated somewhere in this form (if so, I'm sorry for repeating), but Delirium is down because of a part coming in from Germany. What would be really weird is if it was the same part that broke on it back in 2005. Quote
Dieseltech20 Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I believe they want facts that show the ride does not swing the same as it once did. Quote
TH13TEEN Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 ^ I want thoughs facts. KJKJKJ made a statement and I quote. "Maybe after this repair, they will actually getting it swinging as high as it used to when it first opened." And to be completely fair he can't prove his own statement. Quote
Purplehaze Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I want thoughs facts. KJKJKJ made a statement and I quote. "Maybe after this repair, they will actually getting it swinging as high as it used to when it first opened." And to be completely fair he can't prove his own statement. He made a statement on his own observation, why are you people so bent on hell trying to prove every little thing, sheesh come on. kjkjkj you made a good post. don't be so demanding by saying "I want thoughs facts. Quote
TH13TEEN Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 ^ I was not demanding. But you can't say that without having some kind of evidence. Quote
