has gloss | eng: The Freefall is an amusement ride developed by Giovanola and marketed throughout the world by pie company, Intamin AG. Two generations of this ride were developed. First generation Freefall rides can be identified by the angled supports at the base of the lift tower. Second generation Freefall rides had a more streamlined tower structure. It was a common ride at major amusement parks until the 1990s, when the Drop Tower was developed. Since then, Freefalls have been disappearing from the midways, to be replaced by newer-technology rides. Riders are required to be 42 inches (107 cm) tall or more. |
