Let me start off by saying that the Wave Swinger was the last ride I went on at Marineland. With the combination of heat, humidity, a Dragon Mountain headache, and Marineland’s awfulness, I was eager to leave an amusement park for one of the few times. While heading for the exit, I decided to go for one last ride. What did I pick? The Wave Swinger. Too bad it turned out to be the worst ride I sampled at Marineland.

Located on the West side of the park, the Wave Swinger looks great. Adorned with several intricate paintings and a stellar light package, its appearance definitely is the ride’s strong point. Also, thanks to the ride’s really high capacity, my wait was minimal, as I only had a one cycle wait for the Wave Swinger. Loading was really slow for this as with most swing rides however.

The ride itself was really sub-par. While the presence of many trees around the attraction definitely added some excitement due to several near-misses, this swing was just average in terms of speed and was relatively weak in terms of the forces it provided. Additionally, maybe it was just my swing, but my swing was vibrating constantly my whole ride and that definitely detracted from my overall enjoyment of the ride. Marineland did provide a long cycle, but that can’t save this ride from mediocrity.

The Wave Swinger fittingly was the last ride I went on as it summed up my day at Marineland- disappointment. Despite the ride’s great appearance and long cycle, the odd vibrations and forceless ride negated any thoughts of a possible reride. I would recommend passing this up in a visit to Marineland unless you are a dire fan of wave swingers since this is a pretty weak version of a usually enjoyable attraction.

Decent wave swinger in my opinion. This one looked beautiful like most of them and this one ran at an average speed with only an average wave effect. The cycle was on the long side though.
