These swings are much more intense than any fair swings I have ridden. It is because of these swings that I stay away from many spin n puke rides now. They are fun, until you have been riding more than 1:30, then they become nauseatingly intense and unbearable to ride. They are very popular, however, but I did notice in recent years that alot of people get sick on them. Maybe they should tone done the cycle time to make the experience a more pleasant one.
