Serengeti Flyer

Serengeti Flyer is an S&S Screamin' Swing with two arms soaring over the Serengeti Plain.

Serengeti Flyer uses two opposing arms that swing higher with every pass. The gondolas are mounted back-to-back, so one row feels like it is climbing into the sky while the other dives toward the park. Set above the open Serengeti Plain, the ride stands out with a wide-open and highly visible presence.

Typical wait time: around 5 min.

It usually falls between 5 min and 15 min.

See more than 15 min? It is probably busier than usual — consider a quieter moment.

Less than 5 min? You are in luck: that does not happen often.
