Ten umbrella-covered seats spin around and soar high then back down.

Ten umbrella-covered seats resembling parachutes spin around in a counter-clockwise direction. As it spins, the entire ride lifts to a 45 degree angle giving the riders the feeling of parachuting toward the ground only to rise back up again and repeat the cycle.
