Am I the only one who wonders if it is feasible (or even possible) to restore the Parachute Jump to working condition? Granted I am pretty sure any parts needed to do that would now likely have to be custom made.
That was investigated a few years back (maybe 5 or 6 now), and determined to be unfeasible. Might have been Intamin? Thinking the steel may no longer be able to support the weight and motion of riders.
A real bummer, because if you've ever seen video of the ride in operation, it was NOTHING like the parachutes we're used to seeing in parks - well, now just the one in NJ.
