I'll say this - the ride op looked just like a cross between Santa Claus and an good ol' mountain man, which immediately made my experience awesome. One thing I find interesting about this particular wave swinger is that I was actually able to kick the tip of a twig on an oak tree planted near the ride. You'd think that they would trim those occasionally, or prepare for people like me with long legs, but that was amusing. The ride cycle was actually rather nice, and it seemed to last much longer than I thought it would. It's one of the better flats at Dollywood, it seems. The landscaping and ride detailing was quite nice, as immaculate as ever in one of the greatest parks known to man.

This was a good wave swinger. Dollywood ran theirs exceptionally quickly and the wave effect was excellent on this one and gave a great stomach dropping sensation during the ride. However, it had a short cycle and looked too modern for my taste.

This ride was very fun actually.I rode it twice.You get a lot of wind in your face though but I for one like that feeling.It also goes pretty fast for a swing ride.But one thing you have to remember about this ride is that you should wear a jacket or something if you ride this on a cold day.Also this ride is kinda dangouraus well actually all swing rides are like this but some 6 year old might unlock the belt and fall out and die.One last cool thing to say is that they have double seats so two people can ride together.

The Waltzer is a major improvement over the previuos ride. Its bright colors, imaculate landscaping, and beautiful artwork of Venace created an fun and visiualy pleasing ride. Plus, there are also double seats so that you can ride with a friend.

This is a very fast Wave Swinger ride and it gives the feeling of falling when it tilts. Nice paint scheme. The ride also has double occupancy seats.

I was disapointed with the Waltizing Swinger. With Lake Winnie picking up a gorgeous Wave Swinger, the plastic look just doesnt have the same effect. Yes, the colors fit into the areas scheme, but I still prefer traditional ones most of the time. The ride cycle was mediocre. I did like the appearence overall, but it just isnt the best. I also enjoyed the setting between the train tracks, the "barn" and the bumper cars house. A decent ride overall.

Excellent ride, but I just do not enjoy swings that much. But as far as this one goes, the speed is awesome. You get a great falling feel as it starts to tilt down, and if you are lucky, while you are riding, you might be able to come within 3 feet from the cars on the swings. Talk about cool then. There are also some "Double Occupancy" seats for the little ones that are brave enough to ride, but not by themselves. EXCELLENT. It gives me a lot more respect for swings now!

Very fast Wave Swinger ride, and gives a great falling sensation whenever it begins to tilt around. The ride itself has a nice, colorful paint scheme. Only thing I dont like about it is how close the seats are together, which is the (only) advantage of the old Chance Yo-Yo. One unique thing about the Waltzing Swinger is that it has some double seats so two people can ride together.
