Parachuters
Perch (AKA Edwards AFB Jump Tower)  When it opened in 1983, the Parachuter's Perch became the tallest ride in the park and in the state of New Jersey at 250 feet. The ride was relocated from Six Flags over Mid-America where it operated as the "Sky Chuter". The site where the Parachuter's Perch was constructed was originally a small pond which was drained and filled before the footings could be poured.
