Dubai to launch world's tallest swing ride next week

Dubai - Called Bollywood Skyflyer, it stands at an exhilarating height of 460 feet.

The world’s tallest swing ride will open to visitors in Dubai on Thursday, January 21.

Coinciding with the relaunch of Bollywood Parks Dubai, the city’s latest attraction, the Bollywood Skyflyer, will stand at an exhilarating height of 460 feet.

It narrowly beats out the Orlando StarFlyer, which, until recently, held the top spot at 450-feet tall.

> A 55-metre ferris wheel called Wheel of Stars

> An 88-metre rollercoaster called Taxi No. 1, inspired by Mumbai’s famous yellow-black cabs

> Rodeo Ki Sawari, a thrilling family ride with triple spinning action inspired by the traditional Indian Rodeo experience
