Parachute Jump #1


 There have been at least 3 major engineering studies done
that I've heard about & they all concluded the basic structure
was not sound enough for restoration to be dynamic
I believe some reinforcement has been done to allow it
to remain intact in its present decorative landmarked state
Built in 39 for the World's Fair & moved to Coney Island
in 41 it stands 250 feet tall & was in operation until 1964
I rode all 3 of those attractions as a youth & the other 2

 much more recently (but still years ago)
