Ripcord (Amusement Park Ride) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Skycoaster
Skycoaster (most commonly named RipCord or Xtreme SkyFlyer at Cedar Fair-owned parks) is an amusement park ride, produced and managed by Skycoaster, Inc., owned division of Ride Entertainment Group. On the ride, riders in groups of 1 to 3 are winched to the top of a launch tower and then dropped towards the ground, swinging from a cable tether back and forth until brought to a rest. Sky Coasters can range from in height. Skycoaster is an Upcharge attraction at most installations, an additional fare is charged to riders who have already paid general admission to the park, and so must pay again for each ride. ==History== William Kitchen, founder of ''Sky Fun 1 Inc.'', and Ken Bird originally came up with the idea of the Skycoaster in 1992. They wanted to find a way to let others experience the thrill of jumping out of a plane. They wanted a ride with the same thrills of bungee jumping but with the safety factor of a merry-go-round. ''Sky Fun 1 Inc.'' was later sold to ''ThrillTime Entertainment International Inc.'' for $12 million. The Ride Entertainment Group〔(The Ride Entertainment Group ), A world leader in providing thrilling attractions to the entertainment industry.〕 has owned Skycoaster since 2005. Skycoaster has grown their award-winning safety program in that time and remains one of the most popular and safest "extreme ride" in the amusement industry.〔
