World's tallest swing ride - Scream as much as you want, nobody can hear you!

The world’s tallest tower swing ride, which sends those foolhardy enough to get on-board a whopping 400 feet (120 meters) up in the air, was officially opened on Saturday at the Six Flags Over Texas amusement park in Arlington, Daily Mail reports.

The Texas SkyScreamer allows up to twenty-four riders to sit in open-air swings while spinning in a 124-foot (37-meter) circle at speeds up to 35mph (56 kmph).

At its 40 story peak - and if the riders still have their eyes open - they can see not only Arlington, but also Dallas and Fort Worth.

- We are thrilled to add the tallest swing ride in the world to our premier line up of rides and attractions. It offers the most unique ride experience for an attraction of this kind, and also lives up to the Texas mantra that everything is bigger in the Lone Star state - said Steve Martindale, park president of Six Flags Over Texas.

There are seven SkyScreamer rides located at theme parks throughout the U.S. but this latest one dwarfs the competition, the next tallest is in Georgia and is a mere 242 feet (73 meters) tall.

Due to the far greater height though, riders are spun at a reduced speed of 35mph (56 kmph) compared to the usual 43pmh (69 kmph).
