A sure way to get your adrenaline boost is a ride on Giant Canyon Swing located in Glenwood Springs, in the Glenwood Caverns Adventure amusement park. This event is sure to be remembered for a lifetime, because the huge metal swing is set on the slopes of the cliff; it is 396 meters over the canyon's bottom. Steve Buckley is the author of this unusual ride; he decided to test his creation only once, after which he prefers to watch people riding on a swing sidewise.
According to visitors of this ride, in 60 seconds, until the swing swings, the whole life flashes behind their eyes - so scary riding over a deep canyon is. Only adult visitors of the park can fly freely over the abyss; each of them must sign a special document and exonerate park owners from responsibility for his life and health before boarding the swing. The ride is also available for children, whose parents or guardians have signed necessary documents. The inclination angle of swing is 112 degrees; during action it develops speed of 80 km/h. Flying over the precipice at high speed is very popular among teenagers and elderly people.
