I’m sad to hear that Parachutes us closing. We had one at my home park SFSTL when I was kid.
I’m planning to finally get to SFGA this year and thought it would be fun to experience it again and have my son experience it.😢
They should keep it up standing like at Coney Island
Brutal announcement. This type of attraction was the basis for a modern drop tower, but could be ridden by the whole family. It’s a curious decision to remove a family attraction like this when Six Flags says they are wanting to appeal to families.
I think it’s removal was much more to do with its maintenance difficulties
It’s an older ride model probably can’t operate in high winds .
@@ColiwoodStudios - im sure the once the other rides were torn down, spare parts were kept for this one
This is tough. Iconic ride for the park. I wish that I rode it when I got the chance
Man now I'm sad. I always walked right past it thinking, "Ehh it's just some kids ride nobody cares about." I never decided to ride it :(
I’m definitely sad to see this classic flat ride go and I’m very glad I was able to ride this ride when I visited Six Flags Great Adventure. The modern day parachute towers in Hong Kong Disneyland and Walt Disney Studios Paris that I’ve ridden just don’t compare to Great Adventure’s parachute tower.
It's hard for me to understand why they justify removing the ride as 'it reached the end of service', most of the parts for that ride look like they could be easily replaced, but I don't work in the amusement industry so I don't know for certain. It's a dang shame they're getting rid of it though.
It’s the only ride of its type left in the states, with its manufacturer Intamin not producing parts for it anymore, making parts very difficult to come by (from my understanding)
@@ColiwoodStudios - mnay one of a kind rides that SF ownes they have to have things made for it special.. like x2 at Magic Mountain... not like there are parts everywhere for that
It's always unfortunate to see a ride go. Had some good memories riding this attraction in the paat. Hope it can open up for something new to come in that area for the future.
Sad announcement for sure! I’ll never forget riding this as a kid and being freaked out to be up higher than Scream Machine! This of course before warming up to coasters. Rip Parachutes
I think replacing it with a more modern observation tower would be a great idea. The ride was basically an observation tower so replacing it with a more modern equivalent would not only keep parts of its original purpose, and keep the iconic tower.
Yes it is sad. But looking into the future they can really do a lot with that boardwalk area.
I actually agree with you!
When I went to SFGA back on Oct. 9, I saw Parachute’s Tower in person and it’s impressive of height. I didn’t expect to see this iconic ride being closed down. Even though I didn’t ride it, I’ll miss it because it was beautiful.
It’s a tough loss for Great Adventure, it offered a one of a kind ride experience that can now be only found in Japan. I’m glad I got my chance to ride it this year.
When I went to the ride last season, it was covered with lantern flies everywhere. The lantern flies may have to do with it as it may have infestation problems. I was there today and as of May 7, 2023 the ride is still standing, yet not operational.
I don’t understand if Six Flags removing rides is part of their premiumization plan or if it’s more of Selim and his budget cuts
Wow... i rode that at Astroworld in Houston,tx (defunct) as a kid, didnt think any of theese lasted that long.
This is sad for me in the year of 2024, because I only just got to visit Great Adventure for my first time very recently. I was hoping to ride this while I was there, as my home park of SFOT had one of these too....and it is also gone now.
I'm really mad cause I love those rides and its sad to see them go but I think the won at Inc is coming back.😥
The Parachutes will be missed dearly, crazy to think they came in 4 years after Rolling Thunder.
It's so sad to see this ride go especially since this ride holds a special place in my heart since it was the ride where me and my boyfriend had our first kiss but all good things must come to an end eventually 😢❤
This is another contradiction in terms when we are told that Six Flags is targeting families, willing to pay a premium price for a premium park experience to the company's parks. What, exactly, at Great Adventure is left that truly targets a family demographic. They've stripped the park of probably 90% of the shows, and whenever something new is added, it's either directed at small children or teenagers and very young adults. This once beautiful park with its emerald green trees providing a visual escape from the outside world, really has become a land of concrete and steel! If you ask me, this park is probably headed in the direction of California's Great America, meaning the company is likely to sell much of the land the park sits on with Six Flags paying an annual lease fee to operate the park on the owner's land. Truly sad. Warner LeRoy as well as the Six Flags executives that came to the park when it was acquired, are certainly rolling in their graves.
Rip 😭
Another ride I rode for the first time last year that closed this year along with Hersheypark’s whip. Such a shame
Noo I loved this ride 😭😭😭😭 it will be missed I loved pulling up and seeing this and only rode it a couple of times widh I rode it more I have a season pass for a while should have rode it more but it's alright hopefully a worth replacement not like greenlanterns even tho I'm starting to like lantern now
I'm so glad I was able to ride it in 2021 before I went to the navy
I'm so lucky I got to ride this.
This ride have reached the end of its service life and what’s going to replace it
I’m guessing it will be SBNO until they figure what can be done with it (modern update, observation deck, etc.). As far as actual removal, the structure itself should come done pretty quickly (piece by piece by crane). The footings/foundation on the other hand will probably remain until they actually “redevelop” the boardwalk.
I wonder if the footings/foundation are still intact at SF St Louis 🤔
I’d be worried if they do implode it
Kinda sad I liked getting the views up there 😢
I hope Six Flags will start investing in rides like Mondial Top Scans
You should do a video about Chimelong Paradise Removing their Dive Coaster
This ride will be missed but there is some space in that area so I think a nice flat would go great there like something like cat woman whip at six flags Saint Louis
Coney Island has one but it’s only the tower
I don't think it could become an observation tower. If anything it might become what Magic Mountain's observation deck is today, since it is in a tough spot to implode the tower.
Would be smart though I wonder if the tower is still in good shape
Very true
I am honestly surprised they didn't get rid of this ride earlier. After all the other Six Flags parks got rid of theirs, I thought for sure this would be next almost immediately. Also, this doesn't look like a very exciting ride anyways from what I saw in videos.
The footage of the ride in this video was cut to half speed, but it was far more of a family ride
I wonder if Dare Devil Dive is going to be removed in the future
I hope they keep the tower as landmark,like the oil Derrick at magic moutian
NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOO
A unique ride and Six Flags wants to close it. The new CEO is doing a great. 😂 A ride that no one else has in the U.S. and you want to close it. The CEO want to bring families back to chain, by closing family friendly rides, you can not make this up.
Long live the king!
this is a huge stretch, but if they removed GL they would have a big plot of land to use for a new coaster, and using some of the backstage area and possibly the land where the go-carts and old 4D showbuilding are, you have a massive plot of land that could fit anything. Doubt itll happen, but its a thought
i dont think they will put something else there but it is possible
No shot green lantern outlasted this icon
Do you guys have a starflyer there...if not...there ya go...build one...I'm calling it right now
We do
Yes
Think it's time everyone lowers their expectations for 2024. Yes, alot of these ride removals make sense....but the way the chain is trending....I just can't see anything huge. Would LOVE to be wrong🙏🙏🙏
@Maddox2021 - Comedy and More Alternate what does that have to do with 2024 tho?? Tons of people are thinking Great Adventure is getting a Giga coaster that season (2024) bc of the park's anniversary. Just saying don't think SF is trending in that direction🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@Maddox2021 - Comedy and More Alternate lol this is like talking in circles. Have a nice day🤘
@@mattr3922 he wasn’t talking about 2024
@@JD.778 lol I don't know what is so hard to grasp here. I specified 2024 in my comment as I know this video is about 2023. HOWEVER...yes my comment was about 2024 bc this content creator and several others have been on the hype train that huge things (like a giga in 2024 at great adventure) are coming. All I was getting at is with all of these ride removals chain wide for 2023 (there's ALOT of them)...plus the way SF is trending...it might be smart to start lowering expectations for the 2024 season so nobody is dissapointed if there is no giga lol. Not that complicated
And with that my friends...I am done on this topic LOL it's really not that deep.
Great adventure tomorrow: El toro will be retiring
Zamperla air race and get rid of fly me to the moon building
Is nitro still getting a repaint?
I’ll find out soon
Hopefully
