Summerfair returns to Coney Island for its 44th season this weekend, June 3, 4, and 5th. Please note, however, that due to Summerfair, certain rides at Coney will be CLOSED on Saturday and Sunday. The following attractions will NOT open this coming weekend: Dodgems, Famous Fairways Mini Golf, Giant Slide, Tilt A Whirl, Scream Machine, Carousel, and the new Swing A Round Ride.

and the new Swing A Round Ride.

New Swing a Round Ride? That's not on their website anywhere....?

The ride is geared towards kids. The current height requirement on it is 32" tall to ride, and riders MUST be 4 or older to ride. Currently, there is no upper height limit on the ride, but there likely will be one put in place in the coming weeks. We had a lot of issues of people riding who could fit in the swings but there feet were dragging the ground. The ride is manufactured by SBF/ Visa group, the same company that built River Runner at Coney. And when Krazy City was open here in Cincinnati, their swing ride was also made by SBF/Visa.

Looks fun, for at least the people that don't drag their feet on the ground!

^^You got that picture at a unique time. No fencing around it!

Yep. In fact, when we opened the rides for a few hours on May 21st, there was still no fence around the ride. We had to staff someone at the ride to keep people from climbing on the swings. It now has a fence, I just don`t have a picture of the ride with the fence...
