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! ;-)
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
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!
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!
One of my fav rides

reminds me of my childhood at the fairground when it came to town.:-). im going there in August. already got day tickets!!!
I FREAKING LOVE FUN SPOT.! even though its small compared to other places their go-kart tracks r the bomb.
This looks faster then other paratroopers that I’ve seen
As a kid I always thought the multicolored circular gondolas looked like spree candy 😂😂😂

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

i love these kind of rides ;)
Ah.. the days when Funspot was a very small “kidspot” only had flatrides.. they didn’t have any coasters.

I was scared of that ride 😅
Toby's Carnival has one just like this it's in my town right now it's a lot of fun I love it
love that ride!
I've never seen a flat ride go for this long.
Ah I remember fun spot, good times on the gokarts :)
I love this ride :)
we have these in England, but no where near as extreme as this! ours work more like a really slow Enterprise wheel
I WENT ON THAT YESTERDAY
i like this ride

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
Here in méxico exist in 90s the paratrooper that goes up like the enterprise

I went on paratrooper yesterday loo
Well i didn't feel sick!
Paratrooper's manufactured Speed is 13 RPM/Minute. This is pretty fast! Most fairs reduce that speed though. This place didnt!
That is a really long ride
The #paratrooper at Lure Rides doesn't go backwards. It doesn't even swing :(
That ride cycle is too long! Backwards is sick.
here the backround!
this ride is brutal man...do not eat b4 this 1...
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
is this in orlando
Layla O'Neal Did you read the video description? ;-)
No I forgot
can I go on it
disney and universal i dont think they have a go kart
Dangon man now that there how you run that there para whatzamacallit, got that dangol throttle pushed up all the way in the red man, I tall y'whut! :)
that looks fun
The rides I had on it were! :) And for a lot less than mortgaging a trip to Disney.
Road it today and it was fun
i rode on the purple seat
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!
mmmmmm... G's
F.U.N
