PhantomTheater Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 http://kennywood.com/site/documents/2011BlackWidowPressRelease.pdf A pendulum type ride, to be in the spot Pitt Fall occupied i believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 So it is indeed a Zamperla Giant Discovery, basically their version of our HUSS Giant Frisbee or an Intamin Gyro Swing. It'll be a great ride for Kennywood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsrattler Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Looks like a great ride! I love HUSS's giant frisbee's. With this being similar, Im sure it will be a great ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yes! This is a great idea. This sort of ride will fit in perfectly there. Kennywood's a great little park, and I'll definitely be visiting again next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekidd33 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Have we heard where Pitfall is headed yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I wonder if they have any already in the US? Not seeing evidence on their site except for the one in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple in Europe too at Tusenfryd in Norway and Bonbon-land in Denmark, but this will be the first in the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I believe this one swings faster than the Huss model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheikra_rocks Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I believe this one swings faster than the Huss model. Doesn't Delerium swim at 70 mph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBOB Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Doesn't Delerium swim at 70 mph? Well, Kings Island is not Coney Island, so it is suprising to know that Delerium can swim that quickly. All joking aside, this is great news indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I think they were talking about how fast is spins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsrattler Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Or if typed from a phone, it could be a mistyped swing auto corrected, since in fact, the fact sheet does say that the Giant Frisbees swing at 76 mph.. On the other hand, it spins at 8 rpm, not very fast at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Actually, riding it without the swing sounds about as fun as my last... experience on the Crypt. Similar seats too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccarthysnerd Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 That will probably be a very fun thrilling ride to go in the place of pitfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
