For those of us with less courage than it takes to do the real thing, I have read that Six Flags over Georgia, Six Flags over Texas and Six Flags Great Adventure (New Jersey) have parachute rides.

Coney Island still has the old 190 foot high parachute jump from the 1939 World's Fair, but it hasn't operated since the 1960's. It's lit up during the warmer seasons as a reminder of those days. I enjoy seeing it at the beach in the summer - even though I never rode on it as a kid. I was drawn more to the roller coaster-type rides.
