SWING provides a thrilling experience, as participants are secured with two wrist straps before being sent soaring. The installation is suitable for individuals aged nine and above who are taller than 120cm. It also offers wheelchair access, ensuring inclusivity for all.
Before its arrival in Werribee, SWING has previously been featured at the Melbourne Fringe Festival and Mental Health Month in Adelaide, captivating audiences at both events. A smaller swing has also been set up nearby for younger or smaller visitors, ensuring everyone can partake in the fun.
Safety is a key component of the SWING experience. The swing seat can hold up to 140kg, while the wheelchair platform can support up to 400kg. It’s strongly advised not to stand up on the swing or attempt to exit while it’s in motion.
Visitors with heart conditions, abnormal blood pressure, recent surgeries, or any condition that could be exacerbated by motion such as vertigo, motion sickness or dizziness are advised not to use SWING. No bookings are needed to experience SWING.
