GAcoaster Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Intamin sold the Parachute rides as combination Observation Tower and Parachute Tower. Knott's Berry Farm's is an identical tower that used to have both and now just has the observation car in operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted December 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 We know chances are about zero it could happen, but it would be great if the Parachute Tower could be reused for an observation tower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swashbucklerfan16 Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 it's sad to hear the parachutes are being scrapped in the offseason. The skyline won't be the same without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 I wouldn’t say chances are zero, but most likely are slim. Before we received the SkyScreamer, Six Flags was working with Intamin on designing an elevated swing ride using the tower. It was sort of a combination Condor ride with SkyScreamer swings. Stranger things have happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry2004 Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) what if they get that tower from california great America to replace the old tower fun fact: I made a idea about turning the tower into a South Park themed observation tower (I made this as a joke since South Park would not work well in a theme park (well, expect for things like escape rooms)) Edited December 21, 2023 by harry2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericthewanderer Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Intamin should be able to convert the parachute tower to an observation one-though I still miss the parachutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
