A few metres of free fall, then you are flung through the air until you are dizzy with laughter. The Big Swing is the one station in the park where nobody expects you to keep your composure. And one that is seriously addictive.
From 1.40 m and age 10 · included in the Adventure course, no extra charge

Extra charge. Included in the Adventure course since 2021.
As often as you like. No booking needed.
Four steps, in this order, every single time. The only thing that changes is how loud you get.
The tallest rope ladder in the park leads to a platform fourteen metres up. The climb is the part where you can still turn back at any moment — and the part where most people think it over.
You are holding a long vine fixed high above you. As you step off it is still slack: for the first few metres you really are in free fall, with nothing holding you.
Then the vine goes taut and the fall becomes an arc. You are caught far below the anchor point, flung onward, and swung back up. No jolt — the transition is soft, and that surprises almost everyone.
The arc gets smaller with every pass until you hang still in a net and find your way down. Then you head for the beer garden. Or back up the ladder.
36 seconds of original footage: the climb, the jump, the swing. Screaming, laughing.

No montage, no wide-angle trick. This is what it looks like when someone jumps.
Short and honest – so nobody climbs up for nothing.
