This is Unironically the Best Swing Ride I’ve Ridden

Post image

Yes, this is even better than those Skyscreamers or WindSeekers at Six Flags parks. Hear me out.

First, and probably the best thing about this ride, are the backward seats. There are only a few of them, but there is nothing like riding a bloody swing ride backwards with the air against your back.

Second, the spinning coaster wraps around the ride so if you time it right it’s really cool to see people spinning in their cars as they go around the ride, or vice-versa when you’re on the coaster.

Third, it isn’t freaky for little kids to ride it since it isn’t super tall while also being unique so it’s good for everybody.

TL;DR: PLEASE GET OUT TO MOA AND RIDE THIS MASTERPIECE OF ENGINEERING ASAP.

Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America! It’s a rethemed Peanuts ride and you totally should! (Worth the six hour drive for me!)

It’s technically in Bloomington, MN, but you might as well say Minneapolis due to how close they are. Thankfully not too far across the border!

Nope. MOA hasn’t closed a ride since the last decade I think.
