[edit] Rider Experience

The Giant Barn Swing is first loaded. Sometimes operators will only operate one pendulum to save electricity if few people are in line, or queueing for the ride. The restraint consists of an over the lap bar with a safety belt attached on the end in case the lap bar comes up during the ride. The ride begins swinging forwards and backwards, slowly starting to swing higher and higher. At the crest, or farthest, point the ride swings over seven stories, almost carrying riders upside down. Once the ride has crested, it slowly starts to swing lower and shorter distances, until it comes to a complete stop.
