How come this year it seems as though that they are checking for the maximum height more than last year. I am over 6'4" and every attempt I made last year was a success, even when they were holding the stick when they put you into the two groups right before you enter the ride.

It seems though that this year there are many many reports of people being turned away where I read none last year. As much as I hate this I don't think there needs to be a height that short. Sure I may sound biased, but it seems that all rides these days are for all of the little short people. I mean I'd say the height limit is there because of the sign and not the floor because when they lower the floor I don't come close to touching the concrete at the edge once we start swinging. Did they really need to add those light poles to the sign for that foot chopper effect?

I just bring this up as it's my favorite ride and they're more than likely not going to let me ride it this year. I mean I did last year and even on Media Day when you think they'd be the safest, and I don't even believe I was the tallest one who rode.

The height minimums and maximums are set by the ride manufacturers, NOT PKI. We don't really have any control over it. At least that's what we've been told.

That's basically it. We don't set the rules, we just enforce them, and we do it for your safety. And safety is our commitment...

it's not a matter of hitting your feet on anything. It's how people fit into the harnesses. Your feet are plenty far from the concrete, the lights, and the poles. No one will ever hit them with their feet

What is the height limit on Delirium?

Do you mean how tall it goes or how tall you can be to ride?

It sucks...Huss can just sit on something sharp. What kind of stupid ride designer designes a ride that you have to be under 6'4 to ride. When the average height for a man in america is 6'0-6'1'....So if your just remotely tall you can't ride

STeve

Yep, my brother who is 6'4 was told he could not ride this year even though he did last year. I think with the whole Intamin issue, this has caused a general paranoia and now heights and sizes of all guests will be looked at more closely.

Well it's stupid that they would design rides for people that are smaller, for instance Son of Beast. I fit in the harness on Delirium just fine, but they won't let me ride? I'm sure PKI has something to do with deciding height limits. I mean what's the Height Limit for Face/Off, is there even one? I'd probably like Son of Beast if I didn't have to sit in it with my legs crossed and be uncomfortable as hell.

Sure wearing different shoes would/could help but I don't want to be uncomfortable all day wearing shoes I don't want to wear just so I can ride a ride. It seemed like no one cared last year and not even the top executives cared on Media Day last year and I wasn't even the tallest one there. And no offense, but there's no way in hell anyone's gonna fly out of that ride in the first place with the pressure of the restraints and the extra seat belt there.

How tall can u be?

Height requirements are 54" or no taller than 6'4"

Isn't this the whole point of having test seats in front of the ride? Let large people sit in them and see how they fit. If they fit comfortably, there's no reason to prohibit them from riding. I don't see how there could be a safety issue.

Whether a person FITS in a seat isn't the important thing. It's whether they can STAY in a seat throughout the duration of a ride cycle. When you have people falling out of seats because of restraints, there's obviously a problem. THAT is when safety becomes an issue.

I can see how people (especially amusement ride enthusiasts) will be VERY angered by the possible fact that a park will turn away the guest becuse of their size. Would you rather live to see another day, or die in an amusement park accident?

It only takes one time for ride personell to say "You're too big, but go ahead anyway," and have a guest die falling from a ride. Chances, chances are no fun. Chances, chances hurt someone.

Someone much too short to ride could also fit into a harness comfortably. Does that mean we're going to let them ride? No way.

With Deliriums design however, don't you think it'd be really really really hard for even the smallest person to fall out. The seats are "cupped" blocking exit from the side, plus there's another body there and the harness would be down far enough to prevent that anyways and it provides enough pressue on the body, and the seatbelt is there for if they slip through the bottom, which once again with the force of the restraint pushing down would be quite hard on its own.

Actually, the height limit wasn't originally on the sign, right after Delirium was built. It was something they added later on in the year. After talking with some friends who work in the park, and who will remain nameless, its more of an issue of you fitting into the restraint properly, not falling out of it. depending upon where all your height falls, if it falls in your torso region, you may not fit on Delirium. i am 6'6" which is more than the ride limit, but with my nameless friends, and some help from some people higher up the food chain at PKI, I was able to ride it, for at least once in my lifetime.

I was talking about all of the rides, not just Delirium.

Look, you do realize that the only way to give any type of size restriction that is fair an consisent is to have a black and white line. If it was up to ride ops on the ride at that time, there would probably be far too much inconsistentcy in who rides and who doesn't. Different people have different opinions on what is acceptable or not, and different people have different ways of getting people to fit in.

Is 5 feet 1 inch tall enough?

Do the math.

Yes, it's plenty.

I am not very good in math and i am not good with inches alone.

I forget who said it but just exactly HOW would a 6'6 person fall out of the restraint on delerium??? It is locked, the seat is cupped, you can barely move, and there is the extra seat belt for the just in case the restraint does pop up, and you can still barely move when its up... I could see a 54 inch child falling out, maybe, but definatly not a 6'6 grown man

The problem is, these rides are not being designed for the larger people, me nearly being one of them. I am real close to not fitting. I think (even though this has nothing to do with Delirium) that Intamin needs to rethink their seats so that they do accomodate larger people. Why? Because the majority of parks buying up these rides are Americans and it is pretty much a proven fact that we generally are larger than most Europeans.
