Anyone else heard of this thing? I saw some info on it (not from a website so I can't link the info) and basically it's a big swingset with pneumantic moters that get the swing going back and forth. The ride seats 20 people with 10 facing either direction and get up to 25 degrees above horizontal.

Before I go off about where I saw this info I wanted to know if anyone else had seen or heard of one of these things. If so, where?

You have a link to a pic or a thread so I can be sure we're talking about the same thing?

On a side note, it's a pity that S&S has let their site fall into such crap. It used to be so nice.

Knotts has one, Wild Adventures has one, Kennywood has one and Skull Kingdom in O-Town has one. They are fun!

It's just a Screamin Swing, drewbie. They use pneumatic thrusts to push the swing back and fourth.

Sounds like a Screamin Swing, just with more seats.

Scream Swings = Awesomeness

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys. The Screamin' Swing is what I was talking about.

I remember reading about this also. It would be awesome if they had one with a huge capacity.

Have they ever produced one with that many seats on it? I've only seen the 4 seaters.

If you've never been on one Drewbie it will be a blast!

Like a Screamin Swing?

You know what's fun to do? Reading the other posts that have come since the first one. That way, you know you're not repeating what about 10 others have already said.

Man I was going to ride the one at moreys piers while I was there a few weeks ago but it wasn't open yet. Oh well I got it testing on video.

Actually Kennywood doesn't have one. It actually doesn't open till next year.

Kennywood and Lake Compounce will be the first ones in the U.S. to have the 32-seat version which both open next year. The funny thing is both parks are owned by Kennywood and they passed an invert up for two of these things. They better be worth it.

i rode the one at wild adventures within the first 5 minutes of opening. i love that place. a brand new ride opens and like, nobody's there. they are the best flat rides in my opinion. short but airtime filled fun!!

I HAVE A POV ON DORNEYS!... The ride sucked ass.. But still I went on it 3 times... lol.... Yeah.. It wasnt to fun and didnt run to well.. I hope Lake Compounces runs faster and longer then Dorneys....

We've got one like this at wonderland. I've mentioned this in another thread. This ride is insane. I love it .

PCW doesnt have one.. This is what the Swing looks like..

In a few days.. when I get home ill post the POV video for the ones who want to see it.

^^ Same concept. It would give you the exact same feeling

Yes, but that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about the S&S Screamin' Swing in particular, not swing rides in general.

i love the screamin' swing! the rides awesome except its a short ride! but at KBF the theming is horrible! its named the "screamin' swing" and is decored like america with eagles and flags? pretty of subject dont ya' think?

POV of Dorney Parks swing.

I rode Dorney's Screamin Swing yesterday and immediately fell in love with it. When the ride took it's 4 swings at it's maximum swing, I fealt either like I was going to gracefully slide under the lap bar and flip over and out, or like I was going to do the same thing, but in reverse. It's such a rush. My second ride that day was at night. My girlfriend and I faced "backwards" so that when we swung backwards we would be facing straight down over the midway. We were so loud with our fun that the woman taking tickets actually had to do work instead of reading her book, lol.

4?! I got... 2 and it shows in the video.. lol...

I liked it I guess... I took 3 rides on it once at night and 2 in the day. But it just didnt hit me as being as good as I hoped.

Maybe the two vertical ones fealt like the two past vertical ones. I remember counting two past vertical ones after my first day ride when I was eating outside of Coasters. My night ride fealt like we had two extra swings in the ride program though. It could have been my head.
