DOSWELL, Va. (WVEC) -- Construction on a new thrill ride at Kings Dominion called Delirium is making progress.
Steel and other parts for the ride have arrived on site.
The park described Delirium as a spinning pendulum. Forty riders will be strapped in seats facing outward on a giant ring, and will soar to a height of 115 feet at a maximum arc of 120 degrees. The riders will swing back and forth, feet dangling, as the ring rotates.
Contractors will begin erecting the ride early next week in the Candy Apple Grove section of the park.
Delirium will replace the Shockwave, which made its final run on Aug. 9. The Shockwave was the first stand-up roller coaster on the East Coast.
