OVERVIEW FOR THE TEACHER

The Swing Ride is a quintessential amusement park ride that also lends a new dimension to the

Amusement Park Experience set. The free moving seats on the Swing Ride are similar in character

to those of the Ferris Wheel and Boom Ride in that they hang down on rods from overhead beams

and remain upright as a result of gravity acting on them. Unlike the seats on the Ferris Wheel and

Boom Ride, however, these will tend to be pushed outward as the ride accelerates and gains speed.
