The Wave Swinger is a flat ride. It is fun, rerideable, it has a large capacity, and a long duration.

Sucker for swing rides that I am, I still think Dorneys Wave Swinger is good, although it doesnt rate as high for me as other models have at other parks. The prime reason for that is because it sits right smack in the middle of the concrete-infested midway. I understand that the park may have wanted it in that nice central location, but would it kill them to have some trees around the ride? I think that adds so much to the experience on these things. Anyway, as a swing ride it is your typical swinging goodness, with a nice pace and breezy ride. The movement is good, but the cycle is rather average. It is still a ton of fun for me though, and that makes it a good flat in my eyes.

Pretty dull wave swinger if you ask me. This one had no trees or anything around it to interact with and the ride was sub-par as there was very little movement by the swings and the cycle was about average. This one went pretty quickly though when it finally reached its max speed.

This was a very average Wave Swinger in my opinion. Well everyone else hit this one on the nail in that this ride literally is stuck just in an empty concrete area, which takes away the fun and thrills of the collisions I ever so love from other swing rides. This one is a walk on always even at a busy park thanks to its high capacity. Loading was very slow as there was one operator who just trudged around checking each swing. The ride itself was very average as the cycle was only about 2 minutes long and the movement wasnt anything all that great. I like swing rides though so this is one of my favorites at Dorney and anyone who enjoy these wave swingers should definitely check this ride out.

A very nice looking swing that is stuck in maybe the worst place ever for a swing. Right smack dab in the middle of a concrete area. Course at Dorney all areas are concrete areas, making this another "theme" park for CF. That theme being either sameness or concrete, you choose. The cycle was average at best.

I really enjoy flying swing rides. I rode this atleast 5 times while i was there. Very fun and enjoyable. Great ride to ride after riding a water ride, helps you dry off.

Just a "meh, ok" swing ride. My girlfriend likes the swing rides, so we had to go one, but it wasnt anything over the top. No good near-misses and not much else going on out of the ordinary, though it did look sharp.

This is a pretty good Wave Swinging, nicely placed within the concrete jungle known as the Cedar Fairized Dorney Park. It gives a nice view of its surrounding rides. It is not too intense and pretty fun. It is just one of those classic rides that fits in with any amusement park.

I havnt been on it since they relocated it but I remember this to be a real fast wave swinger that was higher than most.
