Delirium, Pendulum ride at Kings Island, United States.
Delirium is a pendulum ride at Kings Island where a large circular gondola with seats facing outward swings and spins around a central tower. The ride moves in two directions at once, creating intense spinning sensations as it swings back and forth.
This ride opened at Kings Island in 2003 as a new type of pendulum attraction designed and manufactured in Europe. It was among the first of its kind to combine swinging and spinning movements into one single structure.
The attraction established new standards for thrill rides in American amusement parks by combining pendulum motion with rotating movements in a single experience.
Riders should expect intense sensations and hold on securely since the movements are fast and powerful throughout the ride. Visiting early in the day helps avoid longer wait times during peak hours.
Riders experience forces ranging from 4.5g positive to -0.5g negative while the gondola swings through a 120-degree arc at speeds up to 76 mph.
