June 21, 20215 yr 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.
June 21, 20215 yr 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!

June 21, 20215 yr 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.

June 21, 20215 yr 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.

June 22, 20215 yr Quote 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. Quote from the park.
