The worlds tallest tower swing ride, which sends those foolhardy enough to get on-board a whopping 400 feet up in the air, was officially opened on Saturday at the Six Flags Over Texas amusement park in Arlington.
The Texas SkyScreamer allows up to twenty-four riders to sit in open-air swings while spinning in a 124-foot circle at speeds up to 35mph.
At its 40 story peak - and if the riders still have their eyes open - they can see not only Arlington, but also Dallas and Fort Worth.

They probably tell people to look out for vomit falling from the sky as well.

LOL. Or rain ponchos with a hood.
Someone is bound to get sick on that ride. I could not go on that ride,especially at that height.
I can’t go on any spinning ride. I don’t do roller coasters either.

I'm liable to have a panic attack on a Farris wheel, even a relatively small one. I can handle a merry-go-round and some tamer roller coasters.
