Silly Symphony Swings

Classic ride but a thrilling one! We saw the line was short and jumped on quickly. We ended up getting right back in line to ride it again! The swings take you pretty high up! Swinging over the water gives you a great view of the entire park. It's awesome! Definitely try and grab a swing on the outside, you get even higher! It's a nice, quick ride. It can be dizzying so be prepared! But overall, a fun ride with a great view!

Rode this 3 times in a row without getting off. You need to show up at the beginning of the day, first hour/hour and a half to pull this off. I didn't do it for my sake, my youngest wanted to ride it 3 times. It's your standard swing ride, not too extreme, small kids can go on it. Last about 60-90 seconds. 8 out of 10 Hit it early or it's not worth the wait.

We were there on a public holiday and the line wasn’t too long. Great ride and goes up pretty high. Always loved these rides as a kid and this didn’t disappoint…there is s as line for singles and doubles but at the end , it doesn’t seem to matter

Great experience. Feels like a big swing when it spins at full speed, lying in the sky

Offers a great view of Goofy’s Flight School breaking down for the fourth time in the same day

This ride is a nice way of cooling off during the hot days. When my friend and I got on this ride, we both sat in a tandem swing. When the ride started, we instantly got a nice view of Paradise Gardens Park and Pixar Pier while listening to some epic music. However, the ride was relatively short due to the amount of people waiting in line. I will definitely revisit this ride again!

These swings are a ton of fun!! This ride is actually pretty thrilling since you go a little higher and faster than you think. It honestly feels like you're flying! You go sailing over the water and you can fill the wind in your face. I love this ride!!!!

Thrilling old school funfair ride its short but fast and loud

Probably the best ride in the entire park in terms of wait time and enjoyment ratio. I've never gone here when the ride was anymore than 15-20 minutes (I'm sure sort of rounded up so that people get the illusion that the ride is going much quicker than it is). The ride also isn't so short too that you feel that the wait wasn't worth it and since there are so many swing seats, it cycles through the guests much quicker. And you can never go wrong with a good swings ride. Nice breeze in your hair and face and the ride undulates so you do go up and down as you swing around too. Make sure to take off any hats or ears since I always see the ones that get tossed off guests when I myself am on the ride. The ride is based on the vintage Disney cartoon, "The Band Concert" and you can see that art all along the mainframe of the swings. The ride plays William Tell's, "Storm" which is quite befitting. PS. Just funny that this used to be a giant orange ride and the orange smell attracted real bees. Thank god it was swapped out.

I be loving these swings! It's the perfect attraction to ride while you're waiting for your next lightning lane or just aren't in the mood for waiting in a line. It's never been more than a 5 minute wait in the last few years. The ride is short but fun! We like to keep our airpods in and listen to My Chemical Romance as we fly - it's magic. Take your ears off - they will fly off your head!

People be crazy! Riding stuff like this, with your feet all dangling- and flying through the air. This ride is so crazy to me! It's sooo scary! lol I'm a scary cat though, if I'm being honest. Being on this ride is not as scary as watching it. Watching it is terrifying lolol What if someone falls out?? What if the contraption holding them in breaks? They just fly and plummet to their death? I feel like this ride should have air bags all around it to catch you in case you fall out or it breaks. lol Kind of like how stunt devils have safety nets... If you are lucky I guess you would fall into the water? I don't know lol in any case, this swing is for daredevils only lol So go get your adrenaline rush on! lol

This ride, though named after a series of animated short films produced by Walt Disney Productions from 1929 to 1939, is based off Mickey Mouse's first cartoon in color, The Band Concert. I'm pretty sure I've never been on them before this last time. Good ride for the kiddos (if they're tall enough!)

This was our first time on this ride, the oldest kid is finally tall enough and not scared to ride it. Was quite fun and the line was short! Did not get dizzy.

Situated near Paradise Gardens in Disney's California Adventure, this ride is your typical carnival ride, but with the scenic landscape of California Adventure below, and "William Tell Overture," from the original Silly Symphony cartoon playing in the background, it's better than most of its kind. It's short, sweet, and lines are never more than a few minutes - perfect for resting your feet, or a quick ride between genie + reservations. It's kid friendly - with a 48 inch height requirement to ride solo, and 40 inch requirement to ride tandem. Definitely a favorite!

An iconic attraction if you ask me! Breathtaking views as you swing over the waters of Pixar Pier overseeing many views of Disney California Adventure. If you have a fear of heights, definitely sit this one out! It can also be a little uncomfortable for anyone plus size. Other than that, enjoy your swing with the silly symphony playing!

Silly Symphony Swings is located in Disneyland's California Adventure at Pixar Pier. It's next to Goofy's fly school and the Jumpin Jellyfish. The wait time for this ride is pretty low, less than 15 minutes. It's high up in the sky and you can pretty much see most of the park on the ride. There are single seats and double seats for younger children to ride with adults. You'll have to put your larger bags down on the ground before getting on the ride. The seats are buckled in with a strap and lap bar. You swing in the air, circular. The ride is pretty short and it does play classical music throughout the ride!! It's a nice break from walking around at the Pixar Pier with a great breeze!

This used to be the Orange Zinger, and I have fond memories of this ride. After the re-design, the ride is still fun as is themed after the Silly Symphony Mickey Mouse short films :)

It's taking me back to the swings at castle park.. But scarier The swings are a hot attraction and for good reason. Its located on the far right corner of the paradise pier area. It's a fun ride to get those Instagramable photos when you're swinging in the area. Just hold on tight to your phone haha. If your afraid of heights. This is not for you.

I believe this was our last ride in the Paradise Pier area before heading elsewhere on Sunday, November 18th around 10:15am. From what I found online, there's a 40" requirement for this ride so the three older kids were able to ride. (They are about 4.5 to 7 years in age.) Still, they weren't able to ride without an adult, so three of us had to accompany them. We ended up on the double swings where the kids are strapped in with what I remember was a double over the shoulder belt and one through the legs. That way, there's no chance they would slip out. This was a little more thrilling than the golden zephyr since we were in swings. More open and carefree. Reminiscent of a carnival ride, so not a must do. You can pretty much find this ride at any amusement park.

This swing ride is located at Pixar Pier. It's hard to miss, but it will require taking the "long way" around the pier to enter. It looks like your typical carnival ride. At home, people pay $5 to go on the carnival swings and wait an hour in line. At Disney's California Adventure, you can ride this ride as many times as you want and the wait is usually less than 30 minutes. It doesn't look like it goes very high, but because it's kind of elevated above the water, it feels a lot higher. This is probably one of my favorite rides that gets overlooked by most. It does seem a little short, but it's ok, I just jump back in line!! :) they have both single seats and the seats that are two seats combined into one. I'm too scared to try to take selfies on this ride in fear of my phone flying out into the water, but if you're brave, this is a cool ride to take selfies haha.

This actually has some thrill to it. Don't be deceived. Better than Golden Zephyr, right next to it. I went higher than I expected, as well as the centrifugal force happening. I'd say be careful with your camera/phone. It moves just fast enough to where you could lose it. Haha!

The first time i ever rode this ride, it changed my life forever. The thrill once it takes off is like a feeling like no other, it's addicting. I'm tearing up writing this.. once the air hits my face and my feet take off the ground... gosh i'm holding back tears. when the ride is over and my feet touch the floor again my depression hits again. If disney ever takes this ride away it will crush me. 10/3.7

Had so much fun!! It is located in the Pixar Pier. The lines are really short! Plays very beautiful classical music. It's a ride you will remember !

Date of visit: February 15, 2016 As we were leaving the Paradise Garden Grill, we happened to chance upon the Silly Symphony Swings. We hadn't been on this ride yet, and being the Disneyland/DCA completionists that we are, we figured it was about time to scratch this one off our lists. Yes, this ride is the classic carnival swings ride you see that spins you around as it lifts you off the ground. But, when it's at full speed and it tilts toward the ground... @_@ I had been recording our ride on my phone (like others were with theirs), but coupled with the high rate of speed and the fear of dropping my phone, I was pretty tense throughout the ride (the smile on my face was just a little stressed)! Too bad this one's a bit on the short side - when the ride finished, I checked the video on my phone to see how long it lasted... ONE MINUTE! At least this is a good ride for the kiddies and their parents; there's twin seats on this attraction that are meant for parents to ride with their children, but couples like myself and my lady were also taking advantage. Keep this one in mind for a quick thrill with not too long of a wait!

If you can believe this was my very first time riding this omg right I've been going to DCA for years and never rode this well tonight I finally did. You sit in a swing buckle up and wait for it to start. It first lifts you off the ground and then you start to spin it's a pretty quick ride could be fast for some it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be being that I'm afraid of heights I was able to handle this. It lasts for a few minutes.

I love the silly symphony swings. There's just something about it that make you feel like a little kid. I know it just goes in circles but it's a combo of the music and the wind blowing through your hair that you just can't help but giggle! This is a great ride with a low wait time. There's hardly ever a line and if so it goes by pretty quick! Give it a chance I'm sure you'll have fun!

Can you tell that I'm missing Disneyland yet? It's been a whole year but we all remember like it was yesterday! The happiest place on Earth! So any typical fair we go to will have your average swing type of ride there. This is not your typical fair ride by any means. This swing ride is the ultimate swing ride we've ever been on! The ride itself sits up on a higher plateau so while suspended in the air you really get that feeling of flying. As it tilts at certain points you can see your feet dangling above the water. The ride has some seats where a pair are attached, and most of them are free floating. The buckle system feels very secure and safe, so feel free to spread your arms out and feel the wind flow around you. My daughter was under a certain height limit so she needed to be on an attached seat. My boys were able to decide if they wanted to sit by us or not... boys. If you're the romantic couple, I'm sure holding hands on this ride would be the cutest! During the ride, classical symphony music is playing throughout, hence the name. The ride shuts down early due to the World of Color show being displayed at the pier water. So just be aware of the timing when trying to catch this ride.

Thank goodness the engineers knew what they were doing when they put this thing together! We were on our, "let's try something new this trip!" phase when we decided to give this ride a whirl (har, har.) Now, there aren't many rides that make me nervous. We all know that the swinging cars on the Ferris Wheel make me cry, and the Goofy ride across the way makes my butt pucker, but that's usually about it. We also know that I typically avoid spinning rides. The teacups are only ridden when a firm set of rules and a safe word have been implemented. I don't do the rides that spin so fast that you're sucked up against a wall. I know my limitations. And yet...I thought this would be different. Maybe not, "Weeeee! I'm having the best time EVER!" fun, but at least different from the norm. We were herded through the gate towards the swinging seats. We found two seats that were next to each other, and I took the outside chair. BAD move. They did their safety check, then off we went. At first, it wasn't so bad. We were gliding. I could handle that. Then, the ride started to pick up steam. We spun higher and higher, and the chair itself started to spin. Not a crazy spin, but it definitely started to twist. And the chairs on the outside definitely get higher up than the ones on the inside. It was at that point that I offered up a quick prayer that they inspect the fittings on the regular (yes, I KNOW they do), and I might have started softly cursing under my breath. There were children around, after all. Had it been all adults, they would've heard me crying, "Oh, god DAMN, what is happening up in here?!", or something like that. Still, I give it five stars. Because when it was all said and done, I had a blast. I'm not going to wait in a line that's longer than five minutes for it, but it really was fun.

I wanted to go on this ride over and over again. However, this ride does make one dizzy if you tend to get motion sickness easily like me. This ride not only lifts you up 10-15 feet off the ground, it actually changes angles so you can go up and down and feel your stomach drop. It's a funny feeling and yes for 15 seconds you feel like a kid again. Very child friendly, there's seats designated for parent and child riders. P.S. This ride is very quick- for good reason.

If you don't have a fast pass, you can spend an hour plus in line for a ride at Disneyland or Disney's California Adventure. That sucks. And when you have fifteen people in your party, with more than half of them being kids... that sucks more than you could ever imagine. The whining, the crying, the "are we going on the ride yet" times 1,000,000 can drive you insane. You wonder why in the world did you choose to come here... But when you take them to Silly Symphony Swings, everything becomes instantly better! There is either no wait or no more than a five minute wait, and everyone is giggling and smiling while they hop on this carnival favorite. You either hop on this ride with your kids, or you watch from afar while drinking an ice cold beer from the stand which is conveniently located right next to the ride. It is not a giant roller coaster, or a fancy ride that took five years to engineer through CGI, but it's a classic that makes all the little and big kids of all ages feel this sense of relaxation and relief that can't always be found in a busy theme park full of tens of thousands of people. Everything in the world is in harmony, there is classical music blaring while you whiz through the air, and you are so happy you chose to take a break on this side of the boardwalk.

The wait time for this was ridiculously short! I still remember when this used to be the orange ride, but now it's themed with images from the 1935 Mickey Mouse short, "The Band Concert." It's a short and sweet ride. You sit in a swing, and you're pulled upwards, and swung around for a few minutes. The movements are very smooth, and I'm sure the ride is very sturdily built, but I did instinctually feel the need to tuck my feet in, especially when I felt like I was flying over the water, because who knew if I was going to go flying off? But I suppose that's one of the thrilling factors of this ride.

This ride brings me back to the local carnivals I used to go to when I was a kid. Only difference is the swings are a lot safer! Only a minute long. Line is usually long when during the day but I lucked out when I rode it and there was no line. I think it would be pretty bad if it is super sunny and hot outside. But still a fun quick ride.

For as a big of a line for ride is, it wasn't that long of a ride at all. It was super quick actually. Came through because my friend really wanted to go on this ride. Me on the other hand was starting to feel a bit queasy after all the food and drinks I had at Cove Bar. Maybe Silly Symphony Swings wasn't the best choice. The ride is simple. You are seated on a swing and they pretty much just spin you around and around and around and around. I was enjoying the music a lot more than the whole swinging part of the ride. This goes on for maybe a minute and then you're done. Its a nice ride and its near Paradise Pier. I probably would not go on it again as I think the wait time for the ride isn't worth it, especially when we could have hit other joints......like ice cream places. Overall the ride was nice. Its inside California Adventure. It was good for a one time thing. I had a decent time on this ride.

Plays part of the Disney sympathy when you swing around in a circle! The line is usually pretty short gives you a pretty cool view of the Paradise Pier area in circle vision and theirs double swing seats so you can sit side by side with your loved ones who might be a little scared of the ride! Just remember that this ride closes while World Of Color goes on just as everything else in the Pier area!

A couple years ago was the last time I got to ride this one--- it's fun! It is short, but filled with thrills. But enjoy it because, just like that, it's over. There is a song. (I think that my husband showed me the cartoon that inspired this ride.) Your feet hang, but you get to see views of the park when you're high up there. I usually go alone because hubby's got a fear of heights. Not sure yet if our son's got it too, but we'll see on our next visit, hopefully, maybe. This was closed off last year (fall) for the World Of Color show.

Sure, it's just an amusement swing ride, but it's a lot of fun to go on at DCA. Very little line and it's great to get a higher-up view of the park and the water. Even watching the cartoon above of Clarabelle the Cow and Horace as they play their instruments on a windy day adds to the character.

LOOONNNGGG gone are the days when the swings had a silly orange and bees theme (Google the Orange Stinger). Now, these swings are based off of an old Mickey Mouse short called "The Band Concert" from 1935. In the short, Mickey Mouse and his band are trying to play instruments with big gusts of wind blowing, and all they are doing is flying away. You'll definitely feel like you're flying away on these swings! It's quite high off the ground, and at parts, you feel like you're right over the Paradise Pier water! (If you're like me, you know it's not going to happen, but you can't help but think that you just might end up in that water if you make a wrong move!) It's a simple attraction that I enjoy. It does have a height limit of 40".

This attraction is your typical amusement park swings ride with the theme of Walt Disney's cartoon "The Band Concert". The one good thing about this swings attraction that I haven't really seen anywhere else are the tandem seats. There are 8 tandem (side by side seating), so small children (who meet the height requirement) can ride with one of their parents or an older sibling. Typical waits for this attraction seem to range between 5-10 minutes. I never really see a line longer than that. No Guests under 40" inches will be allowed to ride this attraction. Guests who are between 40" and 48" inches must ride in the tandem seats. The Cast Member at the entrance will measure small children. Those who are between 40"- 48" inches will be given a pass sent to the left side of the stair case to ride. The pass lets the Cast Members at the attraction know that you will be using a tandem seat. Because there are only 8 tandem, Guests with the tandem seat pass will be loaded first. If there are extra tandem seats available, any Guest can then use them. Guests using wheelchairs can use the elevator and bring their wheelchair right up to the swing seat of their choice.

This was a fun ride. Adam and I love the swings. It is just the ride amount of thrill mixed with dizzying moves. There was no line and we were able to get on the ride right away. The ride also holds a lot of people so it is easy to keep the line moving. The music was fun, as was seeing the entire parkas we go round and round. I suggest hoping in line especially if you want to ride as many rides as possible in one day!

I loove this ride! It makes me feel like a little kid again:D perfect for kids and adults! The view is great, especially when the sun is setting. Hold on to your phone tight if you're trying to take pictures because the ride is pretty fast! I find that there is never usually a long line at night which means I go on over and over again until I feel dizzy:} Outer seats is the way to go if you want to feel like you're flying!! Definitely go on this ride if the wait is short, you won't regret it.

When my husband and I went to Disney's California Adventure Park, he asked me if I would like to ride this attraction. I remember the first time I went to this park (I think in 2005?), I didn't even know this ride existed. I had butterflies just looking at people swinging on these swings in a super fast motion. I hesitatingly agreed to go on with him. I remember walking up the stairs to the swings and hearing people scream while the spinning wheel moved at what seemed to be 100 miles per hour haha; I know it wasn't that fast but in a way, it certainly looked that fast! As we edged closer to the ride, my stomach was twisting and turning (how did I talk myself into this)??? When it was our turn to ride the swings, we were told to place our belongings on the ground because otherwise, we would lose them if we had them on the swings. I placed my purse and my small bag of Disney merchandise on the floor and my husband and I were lucky enough to ride a swing together (since our swing had two seats attached together). Once we were seated and the worker checked our seatbelts, we first moved up then we listened to Mickey Mouse conduct his Symphony (based on the popular Disney cartoon silly symphonies) then started moving. The swing stuck out so far that every time we made a circle, I truly believed I was either going to fall in the lake below me and fall to my death or I was going to hit the wall with my feet! I tried to keep my feet into my seat as best I could. I kept thinking to myself that the swing was held together by a mere cable and how can I ever trust this cable with my life?? I remember screaming and this little boy behind kept laughing and saying "Weeee"!!!! We circled I don't know how many times! When the ride slowed down and finally came to an end, I got off the ride and felt a little sick to my stomach; my husband bought me a sprite to calm my nerves. Even though I was scared the whole time riding this attraction, in a strange way, I actually kind of enjoyed it because it was an adrenaline rush and it was something that was new and exciting to me. Would I ever ride this attraction again? Yeah, sure I'm game....

I thought this would be a little more fun, but I have to say, the swings at the 50th state fair are waaay better (from what I remember, since I haven't been on them in ages)! I'd say it's more for kids...but still nice to get some views of the park.

So the only reason I rode this ride was because my nephew was tall enough, haha! :P I can't do those around & around rides anymore...it makes me dizzy. You get high enough to see great views of the park. Kids seem to enjoy the music. The ride is very short, but maybe that was a good thing for me, haha! :P Don't think I'll be riding this ride again..I'm not trying to get sick while at California's Adventure, haha!

Do you swing? Are you a swinger? I mean, everyone does it, so there's no point in denying it. I mean, we've been doing it since we were kids. Do you remember your first time swinging? I mean, I do. It's one of those things that crosses all boundaries. You can be swinging in Pomona before the street lights come on and you have to go home, or you can be swinging up in the hills at your little white friends' house, overlooking her pool and her mama making you smoothies. You can do it at school, at the beach and at the county fair. You can take pictures and hashtag it #swinging and have millions of people see you do it on Instagram. Or you can do it here, at California Adventure. Here, you get The William Tell Overture so you can keep it classy while you swing. Here, you get to do it with strangers and hardly ever have to wait in line. If you're an outside swinger, you'll get the butterflies in your tummy as you go 'round. If you like to swing with a partner, there's tandem seating on the inside so you can hit those high notes together. But mostly, swinging makes you feel young and free. Freedom, even while confined to a seat, has that effect on me. If any of your friends (or boyfriend *cough*) talk shit about your swinging, tell them to keep on steppin' and leave the swinging to the people who know how to have fun. And if you want to join my Disneyland gang - DCA Swingers - shoot me a PM and lets talk! (Fair warning: you gotta be jumped in)

A fun quick ride that is air borne and kinda weird! Not use to being in a little tiny seat with just a small bar to keep me in, but it was fun to do. Based on a Silly Symphony cartoon, The Band Concert. Mickey is on top of the ride conducting the whole thing, so you know you're in good hands!

I am so happy Disney revamped the Silly Symphony Swings. It is such a fun ride. The music, the lights, the laughter.... Don't pass this ride up. It is better than it looks.

There never seems to be a long wait, if any, for this attraction, the music and views are great and it always takes me right on the edge of my comfort zone.

After having a thrill at Tower of Terror, California Screamin', and Radiator Springs, there is one ride that scares me even more. Although its one of the simplest rides ever, I am always scared that my feet or I fly out to the lake at Paradise Pier. Let's take the swings...The Silly Symphony Swings at Paradise Pier at Disney's California Adventure. Located at the far end of Paradise Pier on the second floor, you'll find a classic ride besides the Merry-Go-Round. Wait times will vary. Definitely check the Disney Wait Times App. If you have a child who doesn't meet the height requirement to ride one of the swings alone, the parent can ride on one of the dual chairs. You'll be handed a yellow card that permits you to sit on the two-seat chair with your child. The best place to sit can also be the scariest. If you sit on the outer edge, be prepared to be freaked out. I am 6'3" and when the ride starts, its a nice lift up with a slow start. The choice of music is, of course, symphonic related. When the speed picks up, I am scared for my life. First off, I am scared that I am going to be disconnected from the ride and land in the Paradise Pier lake. The second fear factor is my legs hitting the roof of the standby queue. Every 5 seconds, I am fearing that I might damage the roof or dislocate my foot. Why do I ride this?! I guess this is the ride that gives me more thrills than any other ride. The ride does shutdown when World of Colors Show is going, but it would be cool if the ride was still going on. Wait a minute...Did I just say that?! After two things that frighten me already and I have to add another one. Geez Ryan! What next do you want to be freaked out? Silly Symphony Swings...I can't wait to ride you at every chance I get. You think I write too much? Well, you can call me a Yelp-O-Holic!

It's fun. pretty damn fun. Especially now that the huge giant Orange is off of it and you can feel like you got some air beneath your feet while spinning around. It's a simple swing ride, not much in term of frills or thrills. Just a short wait time of about 5 minutes max, whenever I've been around here. I guess the notion of swings over paradise pier's lake,ocean... whatever it is, isn't as appealing. You get to leave your bags and other loose stuff on the side and you jump on a swing. Sit next to your best gal or whatever and make sure you just enjoy the fact that you're going up in the air and catching some breeze under your feet as the William Tell overture plays on. I dig it and while I'm not really afraid of heights, I can appreciate the fear some would have as you really are pretty high up there. Oddly enough, I don't mind this but I do have a very uncomfortable feeling going on the merry go round. That son bitch is a death trap, I tell you! DEATH TRAP! While these swings, on the other hand, are just simply metal chairs that are locked down with old chains spinning you around fairly high distances at relatively fast paced speeds. Yeah, that's a lot of words for "Swings are fun and there's seldom a wait for them."

I remember I looked at this ride and all I could think was, "why does Disney have a ride that i can go on at my local church's carnival?" But when I finally tried this attraction out, i was very much impressed. It seems to be built a little better than its carnival counterparts and what really makes this ride, is the music and the view! I always get off of this ride with the biggest smile on my face =).

This ride is very fun and evey time I come has less than a 5 minute wait! If you are looking for a fun ride with out a hour long wait I suggest you give the swings a try. This is now on my must ride list evey time is come to the park.

Take your shoes off for this ride! It's kind of short, but it's exhilarating whilst you're on it! It takes you back to your childhood! There are inner, middle, and outside seats. Some seats are designed for couples or parents who ride with their chilluns. I recommend the outer seats. Maximum centripetal forceness with your shoes off.

One of the most creative fun rides in the park! Feels like you are flying and the line goes by so quickly! Go on it and you will have soooooo much fun!

I wish this ride was longer but I think it's only a minute long when you go onto the ride. The wait seems pretty long for how short the ride is. Anyway its pretty fun and I love it. Only thing that gets annoying is that a lot of people have the "front of the line" pass and each time I go to this ride seems like those people that have those passes are never ending and seem to occupy most of the seats in the ride.

Sit in a chair and get spun in circles so many times to where all of the lights blur around me?? Yes please!! This is the best classic ride on paradise pier and it will bring back that feeling you had as a five year old on the swings at the local carnival in your home town. I just wish the ride lasted longer, I think that it did back when it was the orange bee swings. But I still say not to miss this ride!!

We loved this ride, but it was way too short. Seemed like once you got all the way up, the thing came down. But that aside, this Swing ride blows any other swing ride away without even trying. The swings go higher, the thing spins a little faster -- very kid friendly and fun.

I didn't think much of this ride as I walked up to it. It seems like every amusement park has something similar -- sit in a tiny swing seat and fly around in a circle. But, these swings go surprisingly higher and faster than expected, making it a fun experience for kids and adults. I'm a fan. Located in Paradise Pier.
