Name Of The New Ride?

[Guest TombRaidersthebest]

Why is the new ride going to be called Delirium I cant think of any movies by that name, And when did you get that little paper telling you about the new rides. I got mine yesterday and I called my friend and told her who also has a pass and she said she got hers last week. Is my mail slow or just hers fast?

[Aaron]

It's called Delirium simply because that's the name PKI chose. It doesn't have to be named after a movie. I don't remember there ever being a movie called "Son of Beast".

[teenageninja]

I think because it fits the name, Delirium-confusion and it's going to confuse you and spin you around. I think it's a great name, even though it's used alot.

[Guest TombRaidersthebest]

Ok I was just wondering.

[teenageninja]

Lora Croft is not your sister, you are lora croft, so don't try to pull a fast one. Anyways, Delerium fits the ride perfect, and that's what they wanted.

[Chris Pki Fan]

delrium is a kewl name and the ride looks fun from the pictures hopely it is becouse pki needs a good new ride

[teenageninja]

To tell the truth, I've heard Frisbees are great, so a Giant one can't be bad, but than again some people REALLY disliked Tomb Raider, so I guess anything is possible. It's something we need a good flat/thrill ride.

As long as they don't decide to box it into a building and make the programming more tame than it should be, PKI should have a winner here. I thought when I first saw it, that it was supposed to flip you completely upside down, but now I hear that it only swings between 10 and 2 o' clock, which brings the intensity factor down a bit in my opinion. I thought this thing would able to hold us upsidedown for a second or two at one point. Still, it's going to look killer swinging around. Should be able to see it all over the park.

[Return of D]

Are you absolutely nuts? How can you be disappointed by a 10 to 2 swing? Just imagine if you are on the outside going into the 2. You're way high up there and you see nothing but air. In this case, you'll see the Eiffel Tower and that's it. How could you be disappointed? Look at your clock buddy. 10 and 2 is intense.

[teenageninja]

Yea, 10 and 2 are as close your going to get without having the car ripped off and slung into Son of Beast; which would be the case if it swung all the way around. It is definitely going to be intense, pulling 4.5 g's at the bottom and -4.5 at the top.

[Coasterfan]

I wonder how fast it will swing. It's gonna be really cool.

[teenageninja]

It's has to be somewhere between 35-50 m.p.h. I'm guessing.

[LongLiveTheSmurfRide]

What I'm wondering, is the arm going to be completely controlable like TR:TR? Or is it built like Viking Fury where it's propelled some way then the force of gravity pulls it back? If it's all controllable, why wouldn't you want it to go completely upsidedown? I think it'd be much cooler for the rider and spectator, to have the thing swing a bunch, then as the finale, make the thing do a full vertical stop upsidedown and flip over the other side. They could then control the flip on the move back down to reduce the G's at the bottom. It looks very cool how it will be now, just thought it could do more than I suppose it actually will.

[teenageninja]

I think it's a gravity driven ride, which would explain why it's probably a cheaper ride than Tomb Raider.

[Chris Pki Fan]

If at all posiable they should change viking ship and make it go upside down. is this POSSIABLE?

[LongLiveTheSmurfRide]

I wish... I doubt it though. It's a pretty old ride and doesn't have the rider restraints required to go upsidedown. If it could I bet they would have tried it by now, and given its age I doubt they'd be able to do any modifications. Sucks, don't it?

[teenageninja]

Too many G's and to much stress on the ride. It would never be possible aunless they got a ride that was designed to go upside down.

[Coasterfan]

PKD's ship goes completly upsidedown and stops at the top for a few seconds.

[teenageninja]

It's not the same though, it's a different ride.

[pki_guy]

not the way the supports are set up.

[teenageninja]

Yea, the supports are totally different than PKI's Viking Fury, and is engeneered to go upside down, it would take a very strong motor to be capable for PKI to go upside down.

[Guest TombRaidersthebest]

That would be awsome! Hey do they ever have to change the tires that spin and make them go?

[Shaggy]

No it is not possible for Viking Ship to flip upside down. Intamin Inverters rely on heavy counterweights, a more complicated restraint system, thicker supprts and arms.

Delirium need not go upside down to be thrilling either. Did you know that when a park installs a ride that does an inversion it automatically alienates half it's guests from riding? Stats prove that at least 50% of park guests are intimidated by or avoid rides that loop.

I have ridden four different frisbees and can tell you I am extremely excited about Delirium. The thrill that I think most people do not suspect is the air. The spinning will be slow, the height, although tall, will nto be intimidating. The thrill comes from the outward facing floorless seats and the tummy tickle it will produce when it reaches it's highest points.

It is a fantastic decision on PKI's part to install this.

Shaggy is straight up pimp with his info. Obviously a major part of the park, possibly a full-timer. Or just a really crazed fanatic. You tell me!

[teenageninja]

Yea I've heard that before Shaggy. Forgot to talk about the counterweights too. And the restraints. Delerium would pull to many G's if it did a full inversion I think.
