It's a really fun experience

A proud member in the history of Missouri, the Silver Dollar City is a really popular theme park that has been around for almost 50 years. Opened in 1960 this fun filled park is located between Branson and Branson West on Highway 76. Silver Dollar City recreates a 1880s era experience with a faithful rendition of the times and great attractions for the whole family. The park runs a sleek operation between the months of March and December. During January and February the park closes for reparations and its then when most of the new games are tried and implemented. This family friendly spot is a great way to spend your vacations and with their recent updates to their stock of attractions the offer is now more appealing than ever, so pack your fancy dress and the picnic basket and get ready for adventure!

Giant Swing

The Silver Dollar City is now ready to open the gates to excitement and adventure with the recent addition of the Giant Swing. Set in the quiet location of a rural farm following the theme of the park is this monster of a machine that defies all expectations about what extreme movement can be. This brand new attraction that will send you and other thirty one brave souls as you sit tight on two gargantuan pendulum arms and feel the full force of momentum as you rip through the air.

The Giant Swing is the latest contraption aimed at the thrill seekers. Get your space costumes ready because when the swings starts to move there is no turning back. Once started, the pendulum will thrust you through a 1880s style barn door at 45 miles per hour! Then, you jolt through the air and up over 7 stories before you hang almost upside down facing the fading ground. It's a full 230 degrees from one side of the barn to the other and the seconds it takes the Swing to do them can sometimes seem like minutes. This is not a fake thrill friends, no cheap scares or alien costumes but a true experience for the brave of heart. If you think you're up for this challenge, come over with your loved ones and let them see that you not only talk the talk, but also walk the walk.
