Adventure junkies typically know where to find their next thrill, be it a theme park or an awe-inspiring attraction near a natural wonder. But these swings will take your love for the extreme to an entirely new level. Take a gander and start planning your trip… if you think you can handle it.
1. La Casa Del Arbol — Baños, Ecuador
La Casa del Arbol, which is placed at the end of a cliff, offers insane views of the valley below as well as the Tungurahua Volcano. The craziest part? You’re not strapped in at all.
2. Wild Swing — Oribi Gorge, South Africa
This “swing,” which is more of a zipline-bungee hybrid activity, allows you to plunge into the gorge for three seconds before swinging your way back up. You’re strapped in and equipped with a metal helmet, you know, just in case.
3. XTreme Swing — Shakopee, Minnesota, United States
XTreme Swing, which can be found at the Valley Fair theme park in Minnesota, reaches heights of 125 feet and hurls you into the air at over 60 miles per hour. Though it doesn’t go upside down, you’ll feel like this insane ride is about to push you over the edge.
4. Nevis Swing — Queenstown, New Zealand
It’s no surprise that Queenstown, New Zealand made the list. This swing, which is considered one of the most extreme swings in the world, sweeps you right above the canyon floor at over 70 miles per hour. You’ll plunge 524 feet down, so be prepared to lose your breath.
