GIANT CANYON SWING IN GLENWOOD SPRINGS!

The Giant Canyon Swing towering above Glenwood Springs is an adrenaline junky's dream. The Swing takes you on an exhilarating ride out over Glenwood Canyon, 1,300' above Glenwood Springs and the Colorado River. Combining tremendous acceleration with temporary weightlessness and speeds of nearly 50 miles per hour, it will take you every ounce of courage just to keep your eyes open!

"We've had the Giant Canyon Swing running for a couple of years now and the reaction is truly incredible," said Steve Beckley, who owns the Adventure Park with his wife Jeanne. "It's much more of an adrenaline rush than the previous swing. It literally takes your breath away!"

The pneumatically-powered Giant Canyon Swing carries you and up to three more passengers at a time on a 60-second thrill ride, swinging you 112 degrees above your start position. Flying up above horizontal has consistently elicited screams, and a few unprintables, during testing.

"Since the swing is on an arm rather than cables, it actually lifts you up higher than 90 degrees," explains park owner Beckley. "That seems to be when the screaming really kicks in."

Wade Beattie, who manages the Tram Base and has worked at the Adventure Park since 2003, added, "I've been all over the country testing different rides and this swing is definitely one of the biggest rushes I've experienced. There's nothing like it in this part of the Colorado."
