I do believe you are talking about the parachute drop ride ..... I am actually looking for a pic of that ride at the moment.... It was booked in with Blue Grass shows in 1979

Wondering what happened to these rides from Wade Shows:

Spin Out

Twister

the White Water Flume


Haven’t seen them since 2017. Spin Out I guess maybe they took it off the road due to unpopularity (and when it was at the Tupelo Fair in 2014, it was closed the whole time so I just assumed it was broken), but the White Water seems like it would be the perfect ride for their summer events because it’s a log flume that can cool off fair attendees from the heat, y’know? And Twister also seems to be popular enough. But neither of the 3 have been out on the road since 2017.

I think this vertigo may be the SDC Himalaya that runs with Paradise Amusements, not sure though. Someone here on the board might know if it is or not.



Manpower?

Ride the Zipper?

Yep, it had good airtime in the movie "Rollercoaster" with "Harry" standing in front in line and passing shots.
