Texas Chute Out was the world's first and known as a "modern" parachute drop ride when it opened in 1976.

During Holiday in the Park, Texas Chute Out was decorated as a giant Christmas tree.

However, these were removed in 1994 due to safety concerns, and replaced with sit-down basket seats.

Once up top, the ride pauses to give riders a Bird's-eye view of the park and the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.

After a couple of seconds the parachute then releases from the top and floats back down toward the ground.
