News: Tivoli Gardens to build world's tallest swing carousel

Posted at 6:12 PM EST (2312 GMT)

Dec. 12th, 2005 -- On Friday the Copenhagen city council granted Tivoli Gardens permission to build a 262-foot-tall swing carousel. The new ride, dubbed Sky Ship will be the largest ride of its type when it opens in the summer.

The previous council rejected the amusement park's request, citing noise concerns. Sky Ship will spin 12 two-person chairs around at about 43 mph. Currently the tallest ride at the park is Golden Tower, which stands a little under 207 feet tall.

See The Copenhagen Post for more.

I always get the names of flat rides mixed up or confused so what exactly is this ride? From how it sounds, this will be huge for the type of ride it is. And at 262 feet tall, any type of ride at that height is big.
