Air Swing is a Star Flyer built by Slovakian manufacturer AK Rides currently owned and travelled by UK showman John Wall.
History
The ride was previously called Apollo and operated at Coney Beach Pleasure Park from March 2014 to 2015. It later opened at Lightwater Valley in 2016, replacing Whirlwind.[1]
Apollo did not operate during 2020 along with other thrill rides, as the park focused on younger families.[2] On 1 February 2021, the park announced that Apollo would be removed from the park.[3]
The ride was sold by Alex Crow to John Wall in November 2022.[4]
