I’ve been quite a few paratroopers and this one is the fastest I’ve ever seen. The cars normally don’t swing like that. I can’t believe it goes backward too...
Interesting...this is the first time I have seen a Paratrooper go backwards. I have seen MANY of them too in parks and fairs and never have I seen one go backwards before.
Much sickness than I'm willing to go on Enterprise, this is over 5 mins, plus riders just get the foot choppers there! Just wondering how fast these spins are! ;-)
I never knew a Paratrooper was able to go backwards! I wonder why carnivals don't run it backwards? The reason i ask, is, i've never seen one run backwards at a carnival before, just forwards.
I went on that one I was scared and high, I was spinning really fast with my mom and she felt sick after riding TWO fast spinning rides! Omg I loved it so much, but I realized it went fast so I NEVER went on it again! She was laughing her arse off on the fast and high ride omg paratooper omg so fast!
This ride made my son and I incredibly nauseous. We went on many other rides but this ride going backwards killed it for us. We rode the Riptide (a backwards and forwards ride) and we loved it. This one was too much.
The chances of it making you both nauseous are pretty slim, unless you both ate something bad. I think your son was trying to make you feel better about an easy ride.
Every Summer I go to the yearly carnival in my Hometown and there's a ride called this Star Trooper. It's like the Paratrooper ride but faster and goes forward for 1 and 30 seconds then back words for 1 and 30 seconds. Plus the seats can hold up to four people, and every year someone pukes on the ride
Went on this 2 days ago. Awesome, but don't eat before this! It's so long, I actually felt like Puking at one point. Getting off is the biggest relief but you feel SO dizzy. DO NOT recommend for people who can't go on high spinny rides. This ones FAST.
This Paratrooper ride is faster than the one I went on! The one I rode was at a Carnival in Ohio and J&J Amusements was the ride provider, J&J Amusements sucks! Their rides are slow and are always breaking down!
This looks really funny but I agree with the other comments, after about a minute of going forward that fast Id be done already. If they went forward for a couple minutes or even a minute then backwards for just a minute, i think id be set.

The one at Funland Rehoboth Beach does too
I went on one that went backwards it was super fun
Love this ride. Rare to see them these days. It's from the WW2 era.

Hey, that was so good! Love this ride!
reminds me of my childhood at the fairground when it came to town.:-). im going there in August. already got day tickets!!!
One of my fav rides
I FREAKING LOVE FUN SPOT.! even though its small compared to other places their go-kart tracks r the bomb.
I’ve ridden a paratrooper ride twice and the first time it wasn’t scary but the second time was just like this but it didn’t go backwards

This looks faster then other paratroopers that I’ve seen
Toby's Carnival has one just like this it's in my town right now it's a lot of fun I love it

I was scared of that ride 😅
we have these in England, but no where near as extreme as this! ours work more like a really slow Enterprise wheel
Here in méxico exist in 90s the paratrooper that goes up like the enterprise
Ah.. the days when Funspot was a very small “kidspot” only had flatrides.. they didn’t have any coasters.

As a kid I always thought the multicolored circular gondolas looked like spree candy 😂😂😂

Diana hell year it is it's crazy how someone always pukes
I didn't, I went on round up it is fast, I didn't feel nothing but NOTHING
i love these kind of rides ;)
I've never seen a flat ride go for this long.
Paratrooper's manufactured Speed is 13 RPM/Minute. This is pretty fast! Most fairs reduce that speed though. This place didnt!
Ah I remember fun spot, good times on the gokarts :)
The #paratrooper at Lure Rides doesn't go backwards. It doesn't even swing :(
love that ride!
I love this ride :)

I WENT ON THAT YESTERDAY
Sadly, they removed it for a frisbee flat ride.
Yeah...these rides are old and with the upright model loading and unloading was a pain.
There's still one in GA that goes backwards as well though
i like this ride
That ride cycle is too long! Backwards is sick.

That is a really long ride
is this in orlando

i hear this kid screaming continuously in the background and its really irritating.
oh shit hell no. that's worse than a roller coaster to me. i can't even get on ferris wheels cuz they freak me out too much.
Try riding a double Ferris wheel! I've been on one before and it was awesome!
F.U.N
I went on that one I was scared and high, I was spinning really fast with my mom and she felt sick after riding TWO fast spinning rides!
