Great Gasp, Para tower at Six Flags Over Georgia, US.
The 225-foot Intamin Paratower allowed two passengers per seat to experience controlled descents with safety restraints and seat belts.
Following its opening in 1976, the Great Gasp operated for 29 years until its final day on August 14, 2005, when visitors received Last Gasp pins.
The ride design drew inspiration from the Parachute Jump attraction that operated at the 1939 New York World's Fair and later at Steeplechase Park.
The Great Gasp featured four standing stations and multiple chutes, though the number decreased over time due to difficulties obtaining replacement parts.
During the 1990 New Year celebration, the tower displayed a large 1991 sign and served as a launch platform for a fireworks display.
