swing ride
A motorized amusement ride that rotates about a center with passengers in suspended swings.
A swing ride is a motorized ride which rotates around a central point, carrying passengers who are suspended in swings.
The seats are suspended so that they can swing while the ride rotates. A carousel carries its riders on a rotating platform; suspended swings give this ride a different seating arrangement and motion.
A pendulum ride swings its passenger carrier back and forth about a pivot. A swing ride carries the suspended seats around the central point, including variants that also raise or lower the rotating assembly.
