Given My Fear Of Heights,

this is one ride I would not be going on,

not only does it send people screaming up into the air some 400 feet it also spins at the same time, it was officially opened on Saturday at the Six Flags Over Texas amusement park in Arlington, Texas, named The Texas SkyScreamer, the ride follows the same tried and tested formula, riders are carried aloft in two-person swing-like chairs attached to a rotating gondola mounted on a central tower, when the gondola reaches the top of the tower, riders are swung in a wide circle at its fastest speed, while offering expansive views of the local countryside,


'We are thrilled to add the tallest swing ride in the world to our premier line up of rides and attractions,’ said Steve Martindale, park president of Six Flags Over Texas, 'it offers the most unique ride experience for an attraction of this kind, and also lives up to the Texas mantra that everything is bigger in the Lone Star state!’ that may be but you won't find me anywhere near the queue for this ride or anything similar!
