A children's swing ride is composed of an articulated seating platform having an axis of articulation. A pair of hangers is connected to the seating platform on opposite sides of that axis and a pair of levers extends from the platform on opposite sides of that axis. In use, the platform is suspended by way of the hangers from an overhead support so that riders sitting on opposite ends of the platform can swing back and forth and, by exerting force on the other rider's lever, cause articulation of the seating platform.
A swing ride capable of swinging motion about an elevated support. The swing ride includes first and second parts which move toward and away from one another during the swinging motion of the swing and a deformable chamber which is alternately compressed and expanded during the periodic motion of the swing. A fluidically operated toy is connected to one of the parts and a fluid conduit is connected between the deformable chamber and the toy to conduct fluid between the deformable chamber and the toy so that the toy is energized by a change in fluid pressure from the deformable chamber caused by the swinging motion of the swing ride.
