AZ Kinda Guy Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 (edited) Interesting to see how this turns out. I don't rember this park coming to visit Delirium. There was one park in particular and the owner liked the ride very much! What park was that? Well that's just my little secret.

SixFlagsMasta Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 (edited) Well boo urns!!!! Oh well I guess more parks were gonna build them eventually. But wow that was quick.

crosscountry4891 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 That stinks...I guess we aren't going to be the only park with a Giant Frisbee anymore. At least we were the first park to have a Giant Frisbee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Homey Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 You knew this was going to happen eventually. I'm sure Huss was not planning on keeping it exclusive to PKI. They just don't offer enough rides to theme parks to make something exclusive to that park for very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Kinda Guy Posted February 20, 2004 Author Share Posted February 20, 2004 I can't say I'm surprised. Delirium ran pretty much flawlessly all season long. Heck we had more uptime than our sister Huss Giant ride across the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryler87 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I can't say I'm surprised. Delirium ran pretty much flawlessly all season long. Did it not also generate a lot of excitement? As soon as I saw the concept art for Delirium, I was peeing my pants waiting to go to the park to see our monster. I'm not at all surprised that we won't be the only park in the world with a Huss Giant Frisbee. Delirium rocks! And the stats can prove it!

stephenmayes Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 (edited) I'm not a big fan. It discriminates against us bigger than average people! 35 percent of men in the USA are over 6'3. Why would they make a ride that the limit is 6'4??? Hmmmm.... The ride looks great and I believe everyone that it is an awesome experience, but i definitly think paramount could do more to create more space on its rides like other parks.

coasterbilly Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 well i think this is a good thing. PKI got first dibs on HUSS's new stuff and now parks are dying to get in on the action after seeing the success of Delirium. I hope my home park gets one because it was quite a rush.

DegenRider Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I don't think these are gonna be plopped down like a normal flat ride. Gaint models are more expensive. Most parks will just go with a chance Frisbee or KMG afterburner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsMasta Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 i'm sure we'll see more of these popping out within the next few years. i guess we can't complain though cause it's a great ride.. but remember that nothing will ever beat the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOB_TOM Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Ours has origonal theming, not something off of Huss' web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Kinda Guy Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 I do like our colors better but that's just my opinion... Tom, how on earth can you ours has "original themeing" when it has ZERO themeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenageninja Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Makes you wonder why no ones bought another Giant Topspin, oh ya because they are only up half the time. A Giant Frisbee is a good choice for any park because they have great uptime and have all the excitement of a coaster. Glad we got our first.

AZ Kinda Guy Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 Makes you wonder why no ones bought another Giant Topspin, oh ya because they are only up half the time. In defense of the Giant Top Spin, PKI programs the actual ride to do alot so it's really not fair to knock their uptime. Let a Giant Top Spin run one of it's regular programs and I'm sure it would be another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterrz Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 PKI may be addressing some of the downtime issues this off season with TR:TR. Obviously, a larger ride of a proven concept will have some problems just from the fact that the machinery and weight is larger. As Jeff Siebert has hinted at before, TR:TR may in fact be receiving a new program this year, which most likely will not only increase uptime, but allow the park to operate the ride with full loads. It is my understanding that towards the end of last season (and from numerous cycles on the ride last season) that they were not loading the gondola to capacity in order to keep the weight under a certain amount to keep the ride from breaking down so often.
