Aviktas, the UK's tallest gyro swing located at Blackpool Pleasure Beach Resort, offers an exhilarating experience for thrill-seekers. Towering at 138 feet, the ride swings riders at angles of 120 degrees and reaches speeds of 60 mph, subjecting them to forces of up to four Gs. The experience begins with a gentle sway before escalating to dizzying heights, where riders feel a moment of weightlessness before gravity takes over. The ride's design allows for a sensation of freedom, making it a unique attraction. Opened recently, Aviktas represents a significant investment of £8.72 million, the largest since the park's roller-coaster ICON in 2018. It can accommodate 40 riders at once, utilizing 1,050 square meters of structural steel for its platform and station. The construction phase involved about 80 staff members and took 14 months, culminating in its first swing in March of this year. Riders leave the experience buzzing, eager to relive the thrill.
