The Extreme Swing at Valleyfair, Shakopee, Minnesota

I turned Bond onto rides like the Extreme Swing when we visited Cedar point earlier this summer so when he found out that Valleyfair had one as well he couldn't wait to go ride it over and over.

I was only able to get the playground swing up about twelve feet off of the ground but the Extreme Swing takes you at sixty miles per hour one hundred and twenty-five feet in the air. Being an extreme ride you get some extreme reactions from the riders as you can see.

After swinging back and forth on one of the best flat rides ever invented we headed next door to another ride that was designed by S&S Power, the Power Tower. Two towers take you up and then shoot you down and one of the towers launches you up 250 feet.

Bond's been going back and forth about riding a Top Spin type ride for well over a year. With Brian and Mike joining him he finally worked up the nerve to try one out.
