…still haven't ridden the one at Canobie, but I did take a spin on the one at Lake Compounce this weekend (a typical Zierer model identical to the one in the picture).

You know, I like wave swingers a lot but I haven't ridden on one in decades, because there's always something more exciting competing for my attention.

Canobie Lake has a nice-looking one right by the water, and I keep meaning to ride on it when I'm not escorting my kid around (they've got a separate kiddie version, but she won't go on it). Maybe I'll make a point of it next summer.

I'd have thought that Ride of Steel would be their main attraction. Wave Swingers are everywhere. Ride of Steel is nearly unique to the park.

It actualy says "by The Coaster Critic" below the picture you took on Buffalo Guide. Very cool, CC.

Before I was an enthusiast, I was much less tolerant of giant thrill rides, and chairswings used to be my favorite flat. I'll still ride them today if I have a lot of extra time at a park. It's just a fun ride, you have a lot of freedom, and you can feel the wind, it almost feels like flying. I've never been on a Starflyer or anything like a Windseeker, but I think that having a ride like this so high up would be awesome. As usual, nice photo.
