The Skydiver is a carnival ride produced from 1965 to 1979 by Chance Rides Manufacturing, Inc., an American manufacturer of amusement rides based in Wichita, Kansas. Skydiver cars are mounted on a circular frame (like a Ferris wheel), and spin on a front-back axis like a barrel roll.[1] As the ride required two trailers to transport, it was less popular than the similar, but smaller Chance ride, The Zipper.
