In 2025 Hershey Park will be home to The World’s Largest Screamin’ Swing, taking the title from Busch Gardens. Twizzlers Twisted Gravity will be 137 feet tall, exceeding Serengeti Flyer‘s 135 foot height by 2 feet and at 68 mph its speed by 3 mph. This is probably a great example of the deals companies like S&S do with parks in giving them a “record breaking” attraction, but for a finite period of time before it is exceeded by something else. No doubt in 2026 or 2027 S&S will put a 139 foot Screamin’ Swing somewhere else. B&M has been similar with progressively steeper drops on their dive coasters. This is good business for everyone as having a record breaker is easy marketing for a park.

Looks like Hershey really nailed the theming on this with the twisted licorice shaped supports. This is also a great flat ride to round out a park’s collection that looks great operating on the park’s skyline. S&S has also made the thrill level variable with the “wilder” versus “milder” setting that you see operating at Busch Gardens. This ride can pack a lot of thrills in a small footprint at an affordable cost (Dollywood reported several years ago that their Screamin’ Swing was $5.5 million). Twizzlers is scheduled to open in the summer of 2025, so head to Busch Gardens to enjoy the World’s largest Screamin’ Swing, at least for the next 9 months or so.
