flightoffear1996 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I cant wait to ride it man!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hopefully it won't suffer down time like it did when it first opened. It would always tend to mess up after the first swing. Still, it is good to hear that it is starting to recover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Finally! I hope they have a smotth start up, after all the downtime it has had this season due to that one part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Glad they're almost done with it. I really miss that ride! Now we can look forward to standing in really long lines for that ride again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dionmarx Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 If I'm not mistaken, I believe that it was manufactured by HUSS, which also made Skylab, which was always broken down. You would think that they would have learned from previous expirience with them. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarkerCounty182 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 It's good to know Delirium is Signal 1. It will have wondeful capacity once it opens up because everyone is dying to ride it. I will have to come back to the park and ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reclaimer Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 This puppy's gonna be packed the rest of the summer. Every guest that has passed through the turnstyles this year will probably return on the same day, and all will be normal, in the wonderful world of Delirium! I missed ya, baby!!!

You would think that they would have learned from previous expirience with them. Rick Just because Skylab had problems doesnt mean Kings Island should blow off Huss completely. First off, you dont know what your talking about. Skylabs down time couldve been any number of things that werent related to Huss. It couldve been down all the time because of how KI maintenance kept it up, the weather, the condition it was kept in. No one knows. Thats only one Huss ride. Shake Rattle and Roll is a Huss ride and is always running. Tomb Raider is a Huss ride. To say KI should not trust HUSS because of one ride that didnt work quite well for reasons probably no one on this board knows is qite ignorant.

I don't entirely agree with that... let's look at the PKI Huss rides off of the top of my head: Delirium: Goes without saying Skylab: More than its fair share of downtime and then removed. Tomb Raider: Frequent downtime SR&R: Consistantly running The Bat: Huss-Arrow - Prototype, but was removed within 4 years nonetheless.. Now you can debate back and forth however you want, but if you look at their track record at PKI, it's not promising. It's a shame they make such awesome rides with such weak track records.

Now you can debate back and forth however you want, but if you look at their track record at PKI, it's not promising. It's a shame they make such awesome rides with such weak track records. Honestly, I wouldn't list The Bat in this case. It was an entirely different company then and as we all know Bat was a complete prototype. I'll let that one slide. Now, for Skylab. It may have had downtime, but at the same time why is the same model running at Canada's Wonderland still to this day? Tomb Raider definitely sees a lot of downtime. Not sure how accurate this is, but I hear a lot of the ride's problems stem from the program that PKI chooses to run it on (i.e the long periods of holding the gondola upside down). I wonder if some of the problems could be resolved? Delirium always seemed to run very well, at least when I'm at the Park. Aside from first season glitches, does it really have THAT much downtime? Obviously the problem this season was fluke and completely unexpected to both PKI and HUSS, so it would seem. Just some thoughts.... - Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Yeah I have to agree. You can't always judge a book by it's cover. It could be many different things, while certain rides have problems not just Huss. Heck look at cars, new cars get re-called everyday. Things break, get over it.

Actually if you look at the number of riders per hour Delirum has a poor capcity the thing is that is holds 50 and really not too many people get in line for it.

pcwfreak Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 It may have had downtime, but at the same time why is the same model running at Canada's Wonderland still to this day? Well, it took them 2 months to get the thing running this year.... As for Delirium, it's nice to see these rides recovering. We just had Cliffhanger recover from some really harsh malfunctions. Hope testing continues well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 How would it mess up after the first swing when it first opened? The malfunction I am talking about is when Delirium will start it's cycle and then stop after it's first initial swing. The arm then sways back and forth slowly until it comes to a stop, or it is fixed by maitenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 It is PKI's maintance! Maxair never goes down and it is brand new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hopefully it will open by the end of the season. I am going to ride MaXair at Cedar Point. Probably the same as Delirium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker8388 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 It is PKI's maintance! Maxair never goes down and it is brand new! That's why it's never down, it's new. As far as I'm aware Delirium has operated very consistently since it was built besides this break down which was unexpected and due to wear on the gear I'm guessing. Maxair wouldn't have this problem because it's new and hasn't had the wear and tear of several seasons that Delirium has had. Although, now that they know of this problem hopefully neither Maxair nor Delirium has long down time again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kong fu man Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Little kids don't even know what their talking about.And TR:TR has a new computer system so it doesnt breake down as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Maybe that is why MaXair is so good because they have a new computer system. and that could be why Delirium has been down for so long they could be putting in a new computer system after the repairs have been done.

Dude, Delirium already has a kick ass computer/ PLC. It uses both a Control Logix, as well as a SLC-500 series PLC as a watchdog to the CLX. As well as the DeviceNet and ControlNet system that uses CIP (common industrial protocal). Furthermore thats probably why Delirium and TR:TR goes down so much, due to the PLC shutting the ride down, because it detects something WRONG. Again Delirium alread has a *****in computer system, no need to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kong fu man Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Well all I know that TR:TR got a new system for this year. And is it true that TR:TR has modes?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
