After a series of setbacks, the Finnish park Särkänniemi opened its new Wave Swinger ride at the start of summer.

The attraction, named Swing Carousel, was launched in late June and manufactured by Preston & Barbieri. Guests can fly high – almost 14 metres – over the nearby lake as they enjoy a classic amusement park experience. Riders must be at least 1m tall to sample the attraction. Thanks to its double seats they can ride together with a friend.

The new ride, which is already proving popular with family guests, arrives a year after Särkänniemi launched a big thrill ride. Hype, a Sky Rocket by Premier Rides, is the first triple launch coaster in the Nordic countries and stands 45m high.
