This is a fun ride, but definitely not a stellar one at DCA. It is pretty much a standard swing ride dressed up with some Disney theming. The semi-peeled orange that encloses the ride does block much of the view of the surrounding pier area, but in a way it also adds to the fun if you are in one of the outside swings, as your feet swoop out quite close to it. There is also a constant buzzing-by-bees noise and a slight orange scent. The ride duration is not incredibly lengthy, but the swings do move at a pretty reasonable speed, the whole swing set tilts up and down as it circles, and the wait is never more than one ride cycle. Rumor is that this will be rethemed as the Silly Symphony Swings, removing the orange and the bees, to be replaced with a band conductor Mickey and other related theming. I must say I very much like this idea. Except for the Main Street Cinema, I cannot think of a single attraction in any Disney theme park dedicated entirely to these old-school, classic short films.
