The Mini Paratrooper is our child-sized version of the classic fairground paratrooper. Each child gets their own cabin car, and as the ride turns, the arms lift and tilt so the cabins circle the hub with a gentle paragliding feel. It's one of the most popular children's rides we take out, aimed squarely at younger guests rather than white-knuckle thrill seekers.
A proper fairground ride that fits most venues
The ride unit is 20ft by 20ft and 12ft tall, so it needs a 25ft by 25ft patch with 12ft of headroom. A school field, a car park or a good-sized hall all work. It runs indoors or outdoors on grass, concrete, artificial grass, hard flooring or wood chip, and with its lit arms and colourful cabin cars it looks the part on site as well.
Delivered, built and run by our team
You don't have to find operators. Our own crew delivers the ride, assembles it and runs it with trained attendants for the duration of your event, then packs it away. Every ride is inspected and regularly maintained, we carry £5 million public liability insurance as standard, and risk assessments go to you or your venue before the day. We've been hiring out fairground rides from our South Yorkshire base since 1999 with a 5/5 Google rating from 200+ reviews, covering Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley, Worksop and Chesterfield regularly, with nationwide delivery for larger bookings.
Reliable, trustworthy and on time. The team that worked on the rides and bouncy castle worked well. No trouble, very smart and quick to help if it was required. John H said, from an event with over 800 children to entertain.
Build a children's funfair around it
It pairs naturally with the Juvenile Chair O Planes and Juvenile Flying Planes for young flyers, or with the Juvenile Mini Waltzes and Juvenile Jump and Smile when you want a bigger lineup. Fairground side games keep everyone busy between rides, and the Fun Fairs range covers everything from dodgems up.
