Parachute drop rides

@Dumelow: Would it be useful to include a list of amusement rides that are based on parachute towers? I'm working on an FAC for the Parachute Jump article, and I just deleted the section from that article because it wasn't relevant to that particular attraction. epicgenius (talk) 01:08, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks epicgenius, I've added part of the content (I left out Jumpin' Jellyfish which isn't a true parachute tower). For attribution purposes content added in this edit was derived from the Parachute Jump article - Dumelow (talk) 13:55, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
