Does anyone know what parks have these?
The only two I can think of that are in operation are Six Flags Over Georgia's Great Gasp and Six Flags Over Texas's Shootout.
Also, does Great Adventure still have theres or what?

All I need is 4.5 million bucks and a half a mile long sliver of land and maybe someone could build me my very own Shivering Timbers. ;)

Is the SFoG ride still there? I was under the impression it was not.
Yes, and I am very proud to say that SFOG has it running nearly every day. But, the ride was modified to only allow 4 parachutes to be in operation at once, which means long lines. You can't really take any good pictures of it, because normally only one parachute is in the air at a time.

SFGADV has one, SFOG has one, SFOT I believe has one, Knoebels has a mini, PKD has a mini. KBF just took theirs out in the last few seasons although the skytower in it's center still remins.

Yeah, SFoT has one... a rather fun little ride!
Now, the "so-called restraints"... now, they're another story!

Knott's Berry Farm's Parachute Sky Jump was the first modern parachute drop tower since the days of old Coney Island.
The parachutes were removed in 1999 due to low ridership and high maintenance costs, but the actual tower and rotating Sky Cabin remains.

Personally, I think Parachute Drops look good.
But, I don't think that the versions that also have a Space Needles hooked on look good. They look to cheap.
Knott's should completely chop off the Sky Jump section of there tower. It doesn't look good without parachutes coming down from it.
Does Intamin still manufacture them?
