SWAT was one of the rides I was most anticipating during my visit to Astroworld. It was having technical difficulties all day long and I thought I was going to miss it, but they did get it up and running for the last couple hours. A lot of people can be seated on either side of the fly swatter contraption, and we all got into our seats and had the over-the-shoulder restraints lowered. Then the lap bars came down. These were some of the most unusual things ever. They continued to get more and more snug with every bit of room that you gave them. That means that every time you inhaled they came down some more. In other words, they were very tight. At least we knew we were secure. As soon as the ride started, though, and we went over the top into the upside down position, they loosened up a bit with a little click that made you think they might come undone all together. A little freaky, but that definitely made it more comfortable. As for the ride itself, it was very fun. We did three complete inversions in one direction, then paused, and did three inversions in the opposite direction. Im not exactly sure why Im not giving this ride a 10, as I usually do for these giant loop-de-loop rides. Maybe its just that Ive ridden so many different kinds that this one didnt seem quite as unique as I might have expected, and the inversions were done reasonably quickly and smoothly so you dont feel that blood rush to your head characteristic of so many other ones (such as the Looping Starship on the other side of the park). Wierd thing is, I really like that feeling, so I missed it here. Regardless, SWAT is highly recommended. Astroworld itself is highly recommended. It seems to have one of the worst reputations of a Six Flags park, though I found the collection of rides unique and entertaining, the theming throughout was better than most other Six Flags parks Ive visited, and I had an overall great time. It will be sad to see the park go.

One of the better rides at Astroworld. I actually think i got more of a thrill out of this than any of the coasters. My seat clicked and it freaked me out, but other than that, i was perfectly fine. Being Upside Down Rocks!

Best flat ride ever. Only ride to actually make me scream, or laugh my ass off.

This is the Greatest Flat Ride I have ever been on. When I went to the park, the first thing I went to was SWAT, and it was better than I expected. Very thrilling, a must do at Astroworld.

this ride might look lame but is anything but that

Best flat ride ever built!!! Comfortable seats(unless youre fat), I love to sit on the side that goes backwards first. My favorite part is when you first go forward an fly over the top. Its freaky because when youre first upside down, sometimes you hear your lapbar click.

Very fun, unique flat ride. This thing was totally cool.

well my shoes almost fell off to be honesty

When we first got to the park. I wasnt too interested in riding SWAT because it looked pretty dull in my opinion. But after I got off of it I thought it was one of the better flats Ive ever ridden. Going over the top is an amazing experience.
