Ride experience
There are fifty seats on the ride. The seats sit facing outwards in a circle. The ride tower is only 85 feet tall but because of the 240 degree arc, the ride goes up 137 feet. Once in line, the ride attendants give you a seat number 1-50. You sit down and pull down your over-the-shoulder restraints and buckle the seat belt. After they've checked your seat, the ride starts. The floor drops out and the ride starts spinning. The swinging starts and by the time of the full swing, you end up going to 76 miles per hour. After the ride is over, the floor lifts back up and you exit out when new riders are loaded on.
Problems
The ride has had issues. In June-July 2010, Delirium was closed due to a broken motor. Even so, the ride remains one of the most popular rides in the park hosting over 6 million riders since it opened.
