Am I at the Beach?

The Wave Swinger is located in Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

The Wave Swinger is a set of 48 colorful swings. To enter the ride you must be 46″ to ride the Wave Swinger. The duration of this ride is 20 minutes, although I feel like this goes by so fast there is no way its 20 minutes. When waiting in line I feel as though it goes by like 4 minutes. I love getting in this line because I always know that the line goes super quick. You can be in the back of the lane an the next thing you know you’re going on or at the beginning of the line. They always play music on this ride which makes so much more fun. I feel as though this is the perfect summer ride, you can never go wrong when riding this. I could ride it over and over and over again. The wind in you’re face, the cool breeze, and the hot summer day with the sun beating in your face fills me with happiness. This is how I want to spend my summer all day everyday.

This ride goes in a circle with a wave like motion. The tower tilts making it feel like you’re bouncing up and down. I have to recommend that you ride this at night. It’s like a whole different experience at night. You can look to your left and see the highway and see all the car lights and stars. I also believe that rides go smoother and faster at night. Something about the cool night air and rides go together like peanut butter and jelly. Although it might not be a high thrill ride and not a roller coaster, this is definitely a ride to check out. The classic simplicity of this ride makes it so enjoyable because it is a common attraction found everywhere for all ages and crowds.
