Ripcord

Excuse me while I kiss the sky! Guests experience the sensation of flight as they soar through the air on the RipCord Skycoaster at Challenge Park. Flight-suited riders are tethered to a stainless steel aircraft cable and pulled upward from one of the ride's twin retractable launch pads to the top of an enormous 15-story launch tower. Once there, a designated flyer is instructed to pull the rip cord, sending the tethered group zooming down to within six feet above the ground below at speeds of up to an incredible 65 mph! Riders then complete their awesome journey by gliding through a 310-foot-long "zoom zone" before returning safely back to the launch pad. RipCord's high capacity double launch towers accommodate up to six riders per flight.
