Already unfazed after 10 rides on a pirate ship? Then maybe you’re ready for the “world’s highest” swing, which spans an incredible 170 meters (about 56 stories high). Not only does it let you push your thrill limits, but it also offers breathtaking views of the canyon.

According to the UK’s Daily Mailreport, the “world’s highest swing” is located in Sochi, Russia. It has now broken New Zealand’s record to become the tallest swing in the world. With a weight capacity of up to 230 kilograms, a single ride costs around NT$4,300, while a double swing ride is NT$6,200.

This new attraction has been continuously tested for safety by professionals since August this year. For thrill-seekers looking to take on this swing adventure, they must first cross the “world’s longest” suspension bridge, which stretches 438 meters.

As stated on the website, the swing not only challenges your limits but also holds another kind of meaning: “Since ancient times, people have wanted to conquer fear and discover the secret of flight. This is a great opportunity—just give yourself one chance, and you can make your dream come true.”
