According to Paramount's King Island's latest season pass holders' newsletter, Delirium is the second new attraction the park will debut in 2003. The multi-armed ride, which appears to be spinning in an illustration, is described this way: "One moment, you are suspended upside down, next you are rushing face-first toward the ground, then nearly upside down again, all in seconds."
The ride described may be a Huss Delirium. The park used a Huss Giant Topspin as the vehicle for this year's Tomb Raider: The Ride.

Oh, and will you need a child with you to go on the Scooby Doo ride like you do at Paramount Canada's Wonderland, or will PKI be cool and let you ride without a child?
No new coaster in 2003.
I doubt you will need a child. They tried it with Phantom Theatre 2 seasons ago and it flopped. They reversed the decision after one day of operation.

It is clearly going to be just a Giant Frisbee. If the Huss Interview from On-Ride Central was a real interview then the representative clearly stated that the Delerium will be offered in 2004. Here is the excerpt from On-Ride Central Huss Interview:
B.S.: How much interest has been shown in the new line of "Giant Rides" as opposed to the standard rides?
B.D.: The first half of the calendar year is focused on Giant Rides. Giant Top Spin was introduced in 2002, JUMP2 and Giant Frisbee are under contract and available for 2003 installation and we are now offering Delirium and Dive Bomber for 2004. It is not easy to create and market new concepts in this prototype sensitive world, so we feel quite fortunate to have enjoyed some early success.
As you can clearly see that Delirium will be offered starting in 2004. So there is no way its a "Huss Delirium".
With reference to the multi-armed ride quote, I'm guessing they are just referring to the legs that hold up the ride, just another way to confuse us enthusiasts. Or like someone said a new design for the ride.

I have ridden the future, and it's name is......X!
So this means that Canada's Wonderland is getting the Huss Jump 2.
Bah...We need a new coaster!! It's been too long!
Ironically enough, the PKI season passholder newsletter uses the rendering that Wonderland used to promote their "Psyclone" Mondial Frisbee prior to it's install this year.

I will drive anywhere that installs a Jump2 and gets it working properly.
Great Adventure's Jump, when operating, is one of the most forceful, fun rides I've ever seen. If Canada's Wonderland gets a Jump2, coupled with their Top Scan, I'll be asking for asylum and saying, "Great ride, eh?" in about two seconds.
