Dragon Swing
Come aboard this swinging boat for a most memorable voyage above the Alebrije Gardens. Inspired by the brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures, this vessel will take you on a fun-filled adventure.
Originally designed and built by legendary theme park ride designer Wendell “Bud” Hurlbut, and opened in 1980. Riders sit as the vehicle sways forward and backward, higher and higher until it is nearly perpendicular to the ground at the end of each swing.
Height Requirement: 48 inches or 42 inches and accompanied by a supervising companion

- The Dragon Swing is a ride where guests swing like a pendulum from inside a ship.
- Wait at the ride exit located to the right of the attraction entrance. A Guest Service Associate will direct the guest and their escort to a seat.
- All riders must negotiate six, 8” high steps to board the boat.
- The seat entrance is 13” wide. The lap bar, when in the closed position, rests 12” from the back of the seat. Riders should have the ability to support their upper body due to the forces of this ride. The riders should be able to maintain an upright and stable position. Riders should have at least one lower extremity or lap to accommodate the lap bar. Due to the nature of the lap bar on this ride, weight or size restrictions may apply.
- Each rider must be able to remain sitting up straight, keeping their head upright, their back and shoulders against the seat back at all times. Riders must be able to hold on with one functioning arm and brace with one functioning leg. To participate, riders must have a minimum of three functioning extremities. Two functioning arms are sufficient instead of three functioning extremities if the rider has a normal center of gravity, and the lower extremities are sufficiently strong to maintain proper riding posture under the dynamic conditions of the ride. Amputations must be at the knee or below. Guests with a cervical collar or neck brace must not ride. Riders with a full leg cast can participate, providing the leg cast can fit inside of the ride, and the restraint system can be used as designed. Please review all restrictions listed on the sign at the attraction entrance.
- Service animals cannot accompany the guest on this attraction.
