Paratrooper threw the years.

The paratrooper is a ride I have had for YEARS. It has been threw drastic changes along the way, and went from not even racking at all, to taking almost an hour to rack. Look at the captions under each picture to learn when the picture was taken.

 This was my first paratrooper. It has the proper seats, as they haven't changed much. It had not color scheme. It was incapable of racking, had no lights, didn't have a proper base, and had no sign. Also the outer ring isn't right at all. This was taken in late 2007, early 2008

   This was taken in the summer of 2008. As you can see, I had inprooved it to an extent. The outer ring had been updated to be more accurate, the sweeps had hinges so it could be racked, and had a seat rack on the back. It still had no color scheme.

This was taken in the summer of 2009. The paratrooper hadn't changed much, except for a new gold seat, more colorful outer ring, curved shimmer pipe cleaners, and a middle light. It still hadn't gotten a color scheme, or a sign.

The next 2 pictures (above racked, below up) were taken in the spring of  2010. The paratrooper had went threw some major changes. It finally got a color scheme. It got an inner ring, new cluster light, a new base, new racking capability's. But it still lacked lights, a sign, and a few other things.

The 2010 version setup.

Here we are at the picture of the paratrooper recently. This was taken in the spring of 2014. It has gotten new braces, lights, all new sweep lights due to the real rides relighting, a new cluster lights, a sign, painted sweeps, and a control panel in front. As well as a more colorful base, and better racking.

 

As you can see, this ride has changed ALOT over the years. Check back for more threw the years posts. Also, a quick note, sometimes I post like 3 or 4 posts a day, so be sure to scroll down every once and a wile to see stuff you may have missed. Coming soon, the updated wayout swings, newly relit paratrooper, as well as more ride articles including the chair swings, the slide, the scrambler, Eli HY 5 ferris wheel, and the paratrooper. I don't know when those will be posted, but keep an eye out.
