A swing ride is a popular amusement park ride with thrill-lovers around the world. Other names for the ride include swing carousel, yo-yo, chair swing ride, wave swingers, and Dodo. The ride could technically be classified as a carousel, but unlike a traditional carousel where riders’ seats are attached to rotating top and bottom platforms, riders’ seats in swing rides are only attached to a rotating top canopy. Riders that want the most extreme riding experience takes up the outer hanging seats, while those seeking a gentler ride take up the hanging seats closest to the rotating central pillar. On some swing ride models, such as wave swingers, the rotating canopy also tilts to provide riders with angular as well as rotational motion.
When it comes to the history of swing rides, some of the earliest inventions arose in the first decade of the 20th century. The Flying Swing at Idora Park, for example, was in operation in 1908. Swing rides really took off in the 1970s with amusement ride manufacturers (производители аттракционов) around the globe producing various different designs, including indoor models.
