What’s it like to Ride Dollywood’s Waltzing Swinger? (Review)
You can find this classic ride in the Country Fair area of the park, and you won’t miss it with the red chairs going around and around in the air!.
Once its your turn to board the ride, you’ll find yourself in one of the iconic red bucket chairs. If you have a younger kiddo that wants to sit with you, there are double chairs specifically for that. As you are boarding, you will see that the swing itself has beautiful decorations like paintings, that you can see as you are spinning around.
Once you are strapped in with your lap bar and checked for safety, you are off to your dance in the sky. The ride starts slowly and as it starts spinning faster to the waltz, your seat tilts a little. It might feel like you are about to fly off but don’t worry you won’t, that’s what the lap bar is there for!.
For your safety and your kiddos, once the ride is over, remember not to remove the lap bar before the ride touches the ground again and the host says its ok to do so.
