Itty-Bitty Typo... but would be great if it was true

I know this is a CP site, but this is related (CF-wise).

I was at ValleyFair's site a while ago seeing if there was any info on the Wild Thing incident and noticed this little tidbit of info on the Xtreme Swing page:

Swinging into the Park: Xtreme Swing

You wanted to go higher and faster as a kid…well, now you can! Call it a high-powered swing set; something you won’t find in your own backyard. New in 2006 is Xtreme Swing, an air-launched thrill ride. Towering 100 feet tall and carrying up to 40 passengers, Xtreme Swing takes riders up to 125 feet in the air while traveling up to 60 miles per hour mimicking a child’s swing set. This $6 dollar attraction is designed by S & S Worldwide Inc., who also designed Valleyfair’s popular ride Power Tower. "

For $6, I'm SURE that EVERYONE would have one in their backyards!!! ROFL!!

Or is this a challenge park style attraction that is $6 per ride? That would make more sense given the wording.

It's their version of SkyHawk... they were saying the cost as $6 when it should have said $6 million.

No I think he understood what you were saying, but he's saying that the ride could possibly be an up-charge attraction kind of like Ripcord or the Go-Carts at Cedar Point. I think the one at Dorney Park is an up-charge attraction, so it does make sense.

Ok, so I'm not the only one who thought that's what I said.

Valleyfair's Xtreme Swing is the same ride as Skyhawk (40 seat S&S Screamin' Swing). The only difference is CP added a 3 foot sign on Skyhawk and labeled it as the tallest one of its kind. Xtreme is not a up-charge attraction like the 8 seaters at Dorney and Knott's.

I'd love to have one these in my backyard, but I don't think it will fit. :)

I know... I understood it too, but just thought the other way was funny.

Maybe they got a buy-one, get-one free special, but yet they still had to pay the taxes.... ;)
