At Dragon Racer’s Rally, Berk’s new Vikings can practice aerobatic maneuvers and high-speed barrel rolls on a massive swing ride. Universal says this swing will go upside down and that riders will be able to make it as wild or mild as they wish.
This ride looks similar to the swing rides built by S&S, a similar perhaps to Dollywood’s Barnestomer ride.
