mars1825 Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 Here is Psyclone at CW. Delirium should look like this, only bigger. http://www.coasters2k.com/gallery/psyclone?&page=1 Quote
fyrfyter Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 That ride looks sweet at night. I'm sure it would look better, if the ride actually had lights on it, on the frame and such, not just spotlights, that shine up on it. Quote
Dane Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 I looked at the disign of it and it looks like a first-grader designed it. Its just so simple looking. The lights could make or break it. Just hope they are as good as they are at CW. Look at ride loke The Monster and The Scrambler. They might not look to good during the day but they change at night! Quote
mars1825 Posted November 18, 2002 Author Posted November 18, 2002 The original rendering of Delirium has lights all over the frame and the arm. This will probably be the major difference in appearance compared to Psyclone which only has lights shining on the frame. Remember Psyclone was the first of its kind and I'm sure Kings Island will have an improved ride. Quote
Dane Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 I think it would look good with a jungle theme But its not my choice Quote
fyrfyter Posted November 19, 2002 Posted November 19, 2002 If they were going to do a jungle theme, it would have to go in another area of the park, like octoberfest, or rivertown. It just wouldn't fit AZ. I think they will probably theme it with some sort of action theme, just like the rest of AZ. Hopefully, this will be the last thing they are going to cram into that area, and then they can focus on making new areas. Quote
Dane Posted November 19, 2002 Posted November 19, 2002 King Cobra was a jungle theme and it was in the Action Zone. Plus, if youve ever played Roller Coaster Tycoon, you know NOT TO HAVE ONE ENTRANCE/EXIT! Quote
fyrfyter Posted November 19, 2002 Posted November 19, 2002 But King Cobra was around long before the Action Zone ever was. It just wouldn't fit in as a new ride, in that area of the park today. Quote
mars1825 Posted November 20, 2002 Author Posted November 20, 2002 King Cobra was built when Action Zone was called adventure village. The Wild Animal Safari and Amazon Falls, now Congo Falls, were also apart of this area. King Cobra and was not rethemed to fit into Action Zone; however, Amazon Falls received a new name (Congo Falls) to fit the movie theming. Quote
Dane Posted November 20, 2002 Posted November 20, 2002 Ahhh, I don't like the Action Zone. I like its rides but its design is horrible. Quote
fyrfyter Posted November 20, 2002 Posted November 20, 2002 I like its rides too, but I don't like the fact that every path in there is a deadend. They should have at least made the paths loop around behind the Xtreme Skyflyer and Congo Falls, and somehow intersect with the paths for TG and SOB. it is a real pain to walk from Face/Off, all the way back to the water tower, then turn left, and head for TG and SOB. I think that AZ is also the only part of the park that has two restroom buildings, one not 100ft from the other. Quote
SOB_TOM Posted November 23, 2002 Posted November 23, 2002 The problem with that is that there is absolutely no room behind Drop Zone. They have about 40 feet, where the Steel Coaster Maintenance shed is, then a drop off to the Top Gun queue. Real tight quarters. Quote
CoasterXtreme Posted November 23, 2002 Posted November 23, 2002 This might be true, I heard from someone at the park that they are taking the path that is back in the AZ and taking it around in between the sob and taking it up the side of The Racer and connecting it to the FOF path. I hope this is true it will help with the flow in that area. ANY ONE ELSE hear anything like that! Quote
fyrfyter Posted November 23, 2002 Posted November 23, 2002 If thats true, then path is going to have to have major elevation changes, as the area near AZ is very hilly, and it flattens out, as you ge down around Racer/FoF. I'm not sure the park is gonna wind the path between all the various rides that are in between AZ and FoF, not to mention, trying to find a place for that path to enter AZ would be a pain in and of itself, since most of AZ is already filled with something. Quote
Bob Dole Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 If Top Gun is gone... it could be a bridge or something.... I'm sure there's something in the works. Or maybe they stack up Action Zone on purpose, to attract people to Ice Cream Zone. I was thinking that maybe the path would be the one that goes under the AE queue... it could make it to FOF with little problem. I'd watch for that. Quote
Inraider Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 It sure would help! and it would open windows for new Area's and rides! I think it is a great idea! Quote
Dane Posted November 25, 2002 Posted November 25, 2002 If I had to build a new path it would run along The Racer. Sure there are buildings back there but if your ever in there, they are just large sheds. Those can be moved. Than all you have is woods to expand into. Quote
mars1825 Posted November 26, 2002 Author Posted November 26, 2002 Look at these pictures from pki.com. http://www.pki.com/attractions_Delirium_photos.jsp Quote
fyrfyter Posted November 26, 2002 Posted November 26, 2002 Looks kinda like the seats on Delirium are slanted back at an angle. That would make the swings, end up close to inversions part of the time. I hope that is really it, as inverted and swinging would be pretty kewl. Quote
Bob Dole Posted November 28, 2002 Posted November 28, 2002 I think it's really ugly... the checkerboard is so 80's... just my .02... But I'm sure it'll be a fun ride. Quote
Inraider Posted November 28, 2002 Posted November 28, 2002 it looks a lot like DZ in thw way design and such. I think its kinda pretty looking. Quote
Bob Dole Posted November 29, 2002 Posted November 29, 2002 To each his own i guess, but... it makes me want to puke... I would like it if it were blue and orange minus the checkerboard... but blue and red? blah... oh well. good rides dont need good color... look at DZ... also ugly. Quote
fyrfyter Posted November 29, 2002 Posted November 29, 2002 Yeah but the more colors you have mixed together, with intersting designs, the more people are attracted to it. People don't like things that are just one color, thats why most things are multicolored. Just due to the simple fac that more people are drawn to it. Quote
fyrfyter Posted November 30, 2002 Posted November 30, 2002 I think that is because it was hand drawn, and somebody scanned it in, at a low resolution. I think that if you thinka bout the colors, the yellow, red and blue will look really good, once the ride is installed and finsihed. I think the checkerboard looks cool. Whoever said it looks 80's is right, but the 80's were cool. Really cool. Quote
Stitch Posted December 1, 2002 Posted December 1, 2002 I like the colors, If you look at Psyclone it's preatty Dull I say make Delirium extavogant! Quote
Aaron Posted December 1, 2002 Posted December 1, 2002 I agree that when Delerium is complete and running, those colors will look absolutely amazing. Just imagine walking towards AZ in Coney Mall then seeing a bright blue, yellow, and red tower and ring of people flying through the air at 130 feet. That will be a sight to behold. Quote
Stitch Posted December 1, 2002 Posted December 1, 2002 I hope that there going to keep the pics updated and not let a park camera happen lol. Quote
fyrfyter Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 I think a park camera that works, pointed right at the site, that updates every 5 or 10 seconds would be kewl, and we could see the ride go from what it is now, to its finished state. Quote
Stitch Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 That would be sweet, but they dont want to give too much info away, with pics we see what they want us to see. Quote
