Oldschool75 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Here is the video. Looks pretty dangerous with the supports moving that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce1994 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 The ride entered natural frequency due to motor running with brakes being engaged. That’s a huge engineering oversight, and I wouldn’t be surprised if all the Zamperla frisbee rides would be shut down immediately until a fix is found.

BoddaH1994 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Just in case anyone “not in the know” is reading this, this is NOT at Kings Island and not a ride from the same manufacturer as Delirium. But yeah, how terrifying! I hope no one was hurt! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 If this was a CF park, I don't think they would be running it at all. So glad we are not ran by SIX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This did happen at a CF park as well. A ride collapsed at CP due to natural frequency/resonance event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I know of the incident of which he speaks, but I'm going to let him post it as I'm not doing his research and citing for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly what I was referencing. The removal of the carriage led to the system having no dampeners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Quote The safety sensors on one of our attractions stopped the ride mid-cycle," marketing and public relations manager Joseph Pudlick wrote WJLA via email when asked about the ride. "All guests were able to safely exit the ride and continued with their visit. The safety of our guests is always our highest priority and the ride will be closed for a thorough inspection before re-opening.
