Is Silly Symphony Swings Kid-Friendly?

Silly Symphony Swings is pretty kid-friendly, as long as your kids are tall enough to ride. The swings lift and spin, tilting riders outwards, like your typical swings attraction at carnivals and other theme parks. 

However, Silly Symphony Swings does tilt a bit, bringing some unique up-and-down action into the mix.

Keep in mind there are two different height requirements for Silly Symphony Swings. Kids can ride when they’re 40 inches tall – but they must ride with a “responsible person” (AKA an adult) until they reach 48 inches tall. Guests who are 48 inches tall can ride solo.

Best For: Anyone who loves a classic swings ride with sky-high views of the park and some light lifting and tilting along the way.

Will Silly Symphony Swings Cause Motion Sickness?

Most guests shouldn’t need to worry about motion sickness on Silly Symphony Swings. However, if you happen to experience motion sickness due to swing-style rides, you may want to exercise caution.
