This bizarre contraption are called swinging cages except the cages have been removed. Basically you would get in one of the cages that were shaped like shark cages and rock them back and forth. If you had skill and some endurance you could get the cages to swing up and over the top. The mechanism is still functional so it'd be nice if these could be rescued by someone.

The cages were removed recently, I suspect after the ballroom fire. Unfortunately like Idora Park now that the ballroom has burned down the local authorities are going to have the rest of the park bulldozed to the ground to keep kids from exploring and getting hurt.

Buried in this section of the woods is the park's children's coaster the Little Dipper.
