This is a permanent tower truss structure, designed as multi-use structure, that has the stability to accomodate not only the SCAD Dive, but other rides like zip lines, swings, glasfloor, speed climbing, walk of fear as well as a panoramic platform. It is particularly designed as an
expandable tower ride attraction for medium size amusement businesses or stand alone attraction and offers the thrill of height, as well as the fascination of a beautiful view for visitors. As a spectacular eye catcher it pinpoints its position for miles around.
It consists of four major truss columns, horizontally supported only in the upper and lower segments to leave free visibility in the centre, which offers a spectacular view for spectators. Outside the tower there is an 8 passenger elevator, that travels independently between the ground and the panoramic platform. The SCAD ride inside the tower is suspended by a spring system and hoisted by a 4 cable winch located on the ground.
Guests
who wish to experience more than the view, are fitted with free fall seat harness CFF on the ground, before entering the elevator to travel to the panoramic platform. At top the rider hooks onto the release system and upon a countdown experiences free fall at it is best - unattached and pure, but controlled by the CFF harness.
After a 100 ft free fall the rider lands in a 300 square foot airbag supported SCAD double net. After landing the SCAD is lowered to ground in 10 seconds, the rider can step out and the SCAD is hoisted up again.
The tower is also equipped with floodlights for night operation. A music sound system is optionally recommended. All parts of the tower are manufactured to the highest quality according to EN 13814. The SCAD system is type approved by the German technical control board TUV and complies with the US ASTM standards. The decoration and features can be customized to meet customer-specific requirements.

The tower requires 1 major foundation and does principally not have support cables, but this may be necessary in hurricane areas.
This is a low cost truss tower which can be equipped with two ramps for activities like SCAD, Bungee, or AIRGLIDER. It has a central elevator or can be fitted with a stair case.
The light build requires a few support cables and various small foundations. Its function is the same as the above towers. The design can be enhanced by choosing flashy colours. This tower is available in 20 or 40 m height.
