It was a common ride at major amusement parks until the late 1990s, when the classic freefall rides began being replaced with larger, higher-capacity Drop Tower alternatives. Since then, Freefalls have been disappearing from midways, to be replaced by the newer-technology rides such as the Intamin Giant Drop (2nd generation), Gyro Drop (3rd generation), and the S&S Power series of compressed-air tower rides.
Currently, Demon Drop at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom; Hollywood Action Tower at Movieland Park, Italy; Freefall at Rusutsu Resort, Japan; Free Fall at Central Park, Japan; and Free Fall at Nagashima Spa Land, Japan; are the only remaining Intamin first-generation Freefall rides in operation.
