Silly Symphony Swings was really just a redo of their Orange Stinger swing ride from 2001, but I agree - install a new swing ride. They are still available by Zierer. Click HERE.

We may need to correct Zierer with this comment on their website:

Along with its remarkable durability, the ride’s timeless beauty will make it a permanent feature in your park. To our knowledge all of the nearly 200 Wave Swingers that have been built over the last 40 years are still in operation today.

Although I think a new Flying Wave near the Big Wheel is ideal, I was impressed with some of the themed versions Zierer makes of this ride.





This one would look nice in the Super Tepee's spot:

The one looks like a Mr Freeze theme, but the teepee themed one would look nice where the super teepee used to be.

The safety chain between your legs was such a smart addition on this ride. Looking at the photos without them show how simple it would have been to slide out the bottom of the seat.

I really miss the atmosphere this ride created for the park. That area is so dreary now with bungy poles in it's place. sad.gif

in the '80s there use to be an AquaNet hairspray commercial with a lady on the swings. This lady reminds me of that ad.

The Batman themed flying wave seems like a good fit for Movietown! I also agree movietown should be rethemed to gotham city and during frightfest they shoukd have gotham city thugs come out along with the super villans! :)
