pkifreak Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 all i know is that it has been down since early june cause i was there on the 8th and it was down... Also, sry its off topic, but whats this new ride at Coney? Quote
Oldiesmann Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 As of yesterday, that big crane was the only remaining "heavy machine" at Delirium - the cherry picker was gone, as was the other crane. They were still working on it though. Quote
Jasper Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Nice pics. Not nice for Delirium but nice pics. Quote
gburn07 Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 It is cool how they did all the work up on top instead of bringing the whole arm off like other people 'thought' would happen. Quote
Jasper Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 If they would have taken the whole arm off it would have just made it harder. Quote
harvesterofyoursorrow Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Well, when they didnt take of the arm that confirms that the main gear is what failed. If the motor blew then they would take down the whole arm. Quote
gburn07 Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 'Yes that sounds like it could be true, not a rumor but a guess' Quote
SOB_TOM Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 You would be surprised how easy some people make these rides to work on. Plus, have you ever seen the insides of one of these rides? I would tell ya, but you dont need to know what the problem is. Plus its more fun to see you guys guess. Quote
gburn07 Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 actually i can pretend n' be smart and know whats wrong with the ride....well..the third axel by the fourth motor ceased to operate which caused havoc...following this..mechanical engineers were brought up to the seen to properly repair the device to its glory days Quote
TQZ Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Drove by this morning and I saw the crane up and working on it. That was about 9 am. I know whats wrong with it too... Its broken. And Im not a mechanic. I just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. </badjoke> Quote
tubaman Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Its broken. And Im not a mechanic. I just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. Quote
gburn07 Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 well actually a fat person went on the ride and when the ride was going full swing one direction the motors couldn't make it up all the way n' thats y one of the gears got screwed. didn't take a genius to know that Quote
matth Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Well, when they didnt take of the arm that confirms that the main gear is what failed. If the motor blew then they would take down the whole arm. Why do you think that, about "the motor"? ..matt Quote
gburn07 Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Who knows, well i guess they were still working on it today cuz noone said anything new about it. Quote
HelixSpiral Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Well, when they didnt take of the arm that confirms that the main gear is what failed. If the motor blew then they would take down the whole arm. Why do you think that, about "the motor"? ..matt Yeah, I'd tend to think the opposite. The drives sit off to the side and the gear is in the "guts" of the pivot at the top. But like Matt said earlier, the rides are designed to facilitate repairs and maintenance (for the most part anyways). Quote
gburn07 Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Ya i'm sure they made maintenance for the mechanical parts of it easy, hence the platform up there Quote
Captain Nemo Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 I beleave it should be open in a couple weeks. Quote
gburn07 Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 I know its still an educated guess 'n all..but cpl weeks? Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 I was there on Wendsday and the cranes are gone maybe it will be in a few days! Quote
Ben Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Magic 8 ball says..... Out to lunch. Be back in a few weeks. Quote
pkiboy Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 I heard another 6 weeks. I cant wait any longer. i just want the ride to open. Im sure we all want it to open. Delirium is one cool ride at PKI. Quote
tubaman Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Magic 8 ball says..... Don't worry, it will open the day after you go to the park. Quote
pkiboy Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 I just heard that it would be another 6 weeks. I cant wait till it opens agian. I bet the line will be very long when it reopens again. Quote
