Delirium Reopens

[brick52]

Delirium has reopened, I noticed riders being loaded around 12 and it has been running since then, well at least until I left the park around 2.

[Dbfan]

Good to hear, I never realized how much I liked that ride until I went a day at KI without riding it.

[BeastForever]

Yeah me too. With Delirium being closed for about two weeks, I've also noticed that I have actually never rode Delirium at night before. Next time I go I'll try to.

[pbkigi]

Glad to hear they were really pounding away at it about a week ago, so does anyone know if it was the brakes?

[The Interpreter]

Yes. Someone knows.

Terpy, who just HAD to (and who is sometimes as predictable as the son becoming general manager at Carowinds...)

[flightoffear1996]

Sweet. glad to hear that its up. Was it swining like usual?

[fan of beast]

i rode it a couple of hours ago. it does appear to swing higher than i remember. i noticed the little "hitch" you used to feel is gone. there are 2 large slewing bearings on a pallet just on the other side of the fence behind the ride.

[Dieseltech20]

Saw it running today and it looked very smooth and appeared to be swinging very high.

[Diamondback96]

How high? 2003 high, or higher?

(the answer is yes )

[chaddie]

It was closed around 5 when I was there.

[Purplehaze]

It was down yesterday evening when I was there also.

[Pillsberry123]

Good to hear that it ran if nothing else. It's my favorite flat in the park, and I hate to see ANY ride not run for a lengthy period of time.

[Thrill_Biscuit]

Night rides are awesome... and don't worry about all the bugs flying around the floodlights; they always seem to get out of the way as the ride swings through.

[windshawne]

Fun fun fun. Felt like it was going to go over the top

[Purplehaze]

She would not ride it with me, she made me go on the ride before her

[The Interpreter]

She was probably afraid you'd toss your cookies on her.

Smart woman she is.

[windshawne]

I smell bull****

[Purplehaze]

hahaha, nah I was getting off and she saw me. She went to ride while I went to get pizza but the line was too long.

[windshawne]

She was probably afraid you'd toss your cookies on her.

Smart woman she is.

Thanks Terp!!

[The Interpreter]

I smell bull****

Tossed cookies don't smell that bad...then again, I have no idea what Mr. Haze might have been eating!

Wait, yes, I do. Pizza. Talk about Technicolor cookies!

[Purplehaze]

I smell bull****

I agree Kelli, terpy is spreading the bull for sure...lmaoooooo

[windshawne]

I smell bull****

I agree Kelli, terpy is spreading the bull for sure...lmaoooooo

I was talking about you, mister

[Purplehaze]

hahaha!

I was at the park early this morning (July 22nd) and I rode Delirium for the first time. Everything seemed fine. It was a very smooth and fun ride.

30 minutes later I was walking back from Flight Deck and Delirium was in the middle of cycle and I heard a loud SNAP. I looked up and there was something falling from the ride. I didn't get a great look at it, but it kinda looked like a large piece of fabric the way it twisted as it fell. Almost immediately the full line waiting for it started flooding out of the entrance. Before the ride came to a stop the operator got on the intercom to announce that there was a temporary technical difficulty and to please be patient. I rushed over to see if I could see anything, and the ride was continuing to swing slightly without coming to a full stop. There were people pointing to the top of the ride saying "you can see it there", but I couldn't see anything and I eventually left without getting any real information.

For what it's worth, I think I saw a lot of smiling faces of people still on the ride, so I don't think it was anything that freaked out the people during the ride... Anyone else see this happen or have any more information?

Well that doesn't sound good. Maybe a worker left something up there.

[Ki Man]

Gut it and put in an Intamin Frisbee. or a Screamin' Swing. kthx.

[Purplehaze]

Some one prolly just lost an article of clothing while riding.

[TH13TEEN]

Gut it and put in an Intamin Frisbee. or a Screamin' Swing. kthx.

And Intamin would do so much better?

[Purplehaze]

I really do not care who makes what as long as its a cool ride, or boardwalk

[The Interpreter]

I wish I were still there..but I have too many friends at the ride manufacturers, and have learned largely what I can expect from each manufacturer's rides. There IS a difference...just as there are differences, for example, between the average Toyota and the average Subaru...or the average Ford and the average Dodge....
