An object experiences true weightlessness when the net force of all gravitational forces acting upon the object is zero. In this case, the gravitational force exerted by the earth on the people that are on the park ride while it's free falling never ceases to act on the people. If the person on the ride were in a case of true weightlessness then they would not fall in any direction in the first place. The answer is the apparent weightlessness.
