Here is the video. Looks pretty dangerous with the supports moving that much. 

 

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.

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!

This ride is only a month old. [emoji2357]

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.

This did happen at a CF park as well. A ride collapsed at CP due to natural frequency/resonance event.

Can you elaborate?

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. 

How profitable is SFA to the chain as a whole?

I presume he maybe referencing this?

That’s what I was thinking too. Not sure if it was a natural frequency thing, but gforce would know that.

That’s exactly what I was referencing. The removal of the carriage led to the system having no dampeners.

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.

@BoddaH1994 I feel like it could have been worded better.
