CoastersRZ Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 The cranes were still parked next to the ride today. There were also people up at the top working on stuff up there, as well as people working on something underneath the gondola. Hopefully, the park will be able to get the ride up and running soon. I`m sure they wish it was running as soon as possible. Quote
gburn07 Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 So right there in the pictures are they in the process of getting ready to remove the whole arm or are they farther done then i thought, if anyone knows lol. Quote
Coney_man Posted June 19, 2005 Author Posted June 19, 2005 They just set the arm mechanisim aside, while being held to the side by a crane..and you see in the picture, the gear is being replaced. Quote
gburn07 Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 O really. If that is all they have to do then it shouldn't be shut down for more than one week from now. haha from earlier posts i heard it would be shut down until mid july. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 You don`t work at the park so you can`t say it will be ready in one week. I`m sure they have to do lots of testing on it to make sure everything is working right. Also, they may have to get the stat ride inspectors in to approve the ride is ready to accept riders again.

gburn07 Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 i know i know but that shoudl take a month to do either Quote
PkiJake13 Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Could it possible open tommorrow, what time were theses pictures taken? -Jake Quote
Coney_man Posted June 19, 2005 Author Posted June 19, 2005 Could it possible open tommorrow, what time were theses pictures taken? -Jake Yesterday at 3:00 Quote
gburn07 Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 ya i guess they recognized how important that ride is when its open lol so they prob started working on it like no other so i dont have to worry abbout it not being open when i go Quote
CoastersRZ Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Yes, when I was there on Saturday, it did not look like they were anywhere near ready to even begin testing it. And as I mentioned earlier, the state might want to come in and verify everything is up to snuff and ready to go. I know after Son of Beast experience the down time after it first opened in 2000 the state came back in and inspected it. Also, after the Round Up at Coney was rebuilt in the middle of the 2003 season due to a hairline crack that developed on the main center hub, the state came back in since the ride was essentially rebuilt.

PkiJake13 Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 I think he is talking about a ride at Coney Island. Although, HBL does have a small round up ride, I don't know it's name. -Jake Quote
tubaman Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Okay, I was gone for the last week so what happend to Delrium? Quote
gburn07 Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Eh not sure exactly but heard that somehting failed on it and it was replaced n' should be open shortly, or at least i hope ya i luv these smileys Quote
Hank Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 I don't want to cause a fury, but wouldn't it be "all" if Delirium had been scheduled for maintaince work and, in order to give Cedar Point "glory days" for their new Maxair - thus making it the ONLY working Huss frisbee in Ohio - Huss asked PKI if they wouldn't mind doing the work after CP had their ride up and going? After all, competition can be evil - and who else makes parts for Huss? I know it's a stretch, but... Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 ^The round up at Coney is one of those rides where you stand in a stall and it spins around in circles and the force pushes you back against the wall while the whole machine lifts up and down like an enterprise. Theres no ride in HBL like that. Quote
PkiJake13 Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 ^Oh, sorry, I was thinking of the kiddie Whip type ride. -Jake Quote
CoastersRZ Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Yes, the Round Up at Coney is one of those stand up rides. It "seats" 42 people at a time, and is a real capacity eater. The new Round Up ride that Holiday World installed this year, is smaller than Coney`s, seating only 33 people I believe. I have never ridden the one at Coney, but plan on doing so in July when I return to Coney as a guest at my dad`s company picnic there. It will be strange being there as a guest and not an employee. Off topic, but Coney opened their new Sream Machine on Saturday. Back on topic, I was at PKI on Sunday, and it did not appear as if they were working on anything on Delirium, when I rode Drop Zone shortly after 12. In fact, everything looked unhanged from my visit on Saturday. Quote
gburn07 Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 well did everything look in place or was stuff still not put back together Quote
gburn07 Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 sooooooo anyone know the status of (imo) the greatest flat ride ever Quote
JaSoNsKrEaTiOnZ Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 I can't wait untill it opens. I have never rode it. Quote
harvesterofyoursorrow Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 I think it should be all fixed and ready to go in about 3 weeks to a month. Dont be suprized though if you go one day and the ride is running! Quote
