Silly Symphony Swings

Silly Symphony Swings is a wave swinger ride in Paradise Gardens Park where riders spin in circles while watching an animated tornado sequence on a central tower. The swings are suspended by cables and swing outward as the ride operates.

This ride opened in 2010, replacing a previous Orange Stinger attraction that occupied the same spot. It was part of a major expansion project for the park.

The ride draws from a 1935 Disney cartoon where Mickey appears as a conductor, and you can spot this character detail displayed on the structure above. The design connects to that classic animation style.

Children between 40 and 48 inches tall can ride in dedicated tandem swings with an adult, accessed through a separate queue. This arrangement makes it easier for younger riders to join the experience.

The central column lifts riders while playing the William Tell Overture, with the tornado effect timed to match the music. This connection between the soundtrack and animation creates a complete sensory experience.
