Design and operation

The original Screamin' Swing consists of a A-frame, supporting two arms. Each arm supports two rows of seating, back to back. The first Screamin' Swings developed had four seats per arm with two arms. The lowest variant is the four-seat/one-arm design, and the capacities increase to 8 seat, 16 seat, 32 seat and 40 seat designs, all utilizing two arms. For two-arm models, the swings can operate individually or simultaneously and are propelled by compressed air, provided by Ingersoll Rand or Sullair compressors. These compressors disperse air into tanks located within the arms, the movement triggering actuators and cables to produce the motion.
The first larger Screamin' Swing developed was Rush, located at Thorpe Park. The ride stands at tall with a dynamic height of. It opened in May 2005 as 'The World's Biggest Full Throttle Speed Swing'.
