Drop tower
- Höjdskräcken - This 60 meter high free fall tower only worked with air cylinders and had no eddy current brake . The air cylinders first lifted the nacelle. There the nacelle was held in place with hydraulic brakes until the air pressure in the cylinders was reduced to a specified value. Then the hydraulic brakes were released and the nacelle fell down. The air in the cylinders was compressed, which brought about the braking effect. The compressed air then caused the gondola to be thrown back up. This was followed by another crash. By deliberately releasing the air pressure in the cylinders, the gondola came back to the ground.
- Uppskjutet - This 60 meter high catapult tower, which worked with compressed air cylinders, shot the gondola with the passengers straight up from a standing position. The gondola was first held with hydraulic brakes until the air cylinders had reached a certain air pressure. As soon as this was reached, the hydraulic brakes were released and the nacelle shot straight up. It is not known what height the gondola reached. To prevent the gondola from hitting the upper part of the 60 meter high tower, there had to be a safety distance. After the nacelle had reached the highest point, it fell down again, compressing the air in the cylinders again and creating a braking effect. The compressed air then caused the gondola to be thrown back up. This was followed by another crash. By deliberately releasing the air pressure in the cylinders, the gondola came back to the ground.
