The queue line wraps around the ride surrounded by the trees. After you go through the line you enter the area where you can choose one of the swings to ride in. The swings slowly start to move upward from the ground as you spin. Now the rooftop tips at different angles as you go around coming down to the ground and then going up into the air. This continues until the ride starts to slow down and the rooftop stops tilting and the swings come back to the ground before the ride ends. Rating: 5.5/10 |
