Smuggs introduces a Giant Swing!
Mondays 11:00 am - 2:00 pm Wednesdays & Thursdays 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
View a video of our NEW Giant Swing!
Picture yourself at the top of Notchville Park preparing for your first ride on the Giant Swing. Your own stature is dwarfed by two beefy poles towering above you; your rear end is immobilized by straps around your waist, back and legs; your mouth feels cottony and your breathing is shallow. The attendant fed you instructions and you digested them. Now your pals are towing you backwards with a haul rope to a point where you signal "far enough." More than 15 feet below you is Mother Earth. You hold your breath and hit the release. “Whooooooosh!” The ground meets you and falls away again. You are arcing far over Notchville Park’s upper pool. Your stomach presses back against your spine then forward towards your ribs. The giant within you reasserts himself and you grin and enjoy the ride, feeling in charge again. You swoop back and forth until you come to a stop naturally. The arc of the Giant Swing is 100 feet and the cables (no bungee cords) are triangulated so you stay on course. Find out for yourself what it’s like to be a giant on a giant-sized swing.
Tickets are $7 per person per ride; $12 per person for two rides. 8 years & older.
