Swampie's Swing is a Kontiki Ride built by Zierer. Other builders like Zamperla will call it a Rockin' tug. This version is totally indoor, so you can ride it everyday. The ride has a kind of standard gondola. But the construction is themed with wood, which is unusual for this kind of rides. Swampie's Swing also have it's own flag, due the lack of wind inside the building the flag will constantly hit the wood that holds the flag up. Every year the flag needs to be repaired.
For this kind of ride it is amazingly popular, We don't know exactly how that is possible, but the ride is 80% of the time totally full. During the ride you will go up and down like in a pirate ship, but after some times the gondola starts to spin around, this gives a funny ride that many people will enjoy. If you can't handle sea sickness, just avoid this ride, you can get sick of the moves that it makes.
