swingboat

Carnival rocking vessel

A swingboat is a boat-shaped fairground ride that swings back and forth, suspended from a frame.

Riders sit facing each other and pull ropes to increase the arc of the swing: The children spent all their tickets on the swingboat.

Common at carnivals and amusement parks, particularly in Britain.
