Six Flags Ride Imploded - kcentv.com - KCEN HD - Waco, Temple, and Killeen

(KCEN) -- The towering Texas Chute-Out has toppled at Six Flags over Texas.

The 200-foot tall ride was imploded around 2 this afternoon.

Park representatives say over 29 million riders had taken the plunge on the parachute drop since it opened in 1976.

Six Flags plans to replace it with a new high-altitude swing ride called the Texas Sky Screamer.

It will be twice as tall as the Chute-Out.
