This giant, swing-style free-fall is guaranteed to give guests an adrenaline rush! It's called "Swing-by-Choice" because the participant can choose how high and how long they will swing.

Swing-by-Choice combines adrenaline with teamwork, making it a perfect activity for groups seeking team-building activities to add to their schedules. While the participant takes on the challenge solo, two group members on the ground in harnesses are responsible for pulling the cables to lift them to the top. After being lifted to the top, participants pull the release to begin their heart-pounding, exhilarating drop, controlling the remainder of their swing.
